Spirittea

great vibe and art style, just feels like fun time

If you love Japan, yokai, and Stardew. I really think you will love this game too. It's is very relaxing. There are lots of mini-games. There are lots of characters to talk to and become friends with; I'm assuming there is a quest-line to woe some of them, but I haven't gotten that far yet. The mini-games are karaoke, cooking, fishing, and bug catching so far. The hunt for the spirits is very fun. There's plenty of tips to find them. The bath house makes decnet money. The only thing is I would get the guide. Guessing about the spirits and who to sit next to who is a bit of a pain. There are a few things I have had to look up besides that, but overall I am really enjoying this game.

I loved the demo of this game and finally was able to buy it. I'm finding mini games that you normally don't find in the genre. It doesn't hold your hand with anything other than how to run the bathhouse. It took a bit to find where to get a shovel and fishing rod. I think it's pretty well balanced so far. I make just enough money to buy an upgrade every few days or a new tool. I also really like the theme and the overall vibe. Super cozy. So far I've found a cooking mini game, plus you can cook at your house. There does seem to be bug catching and fishing. There is a karaoke game too. All that on top of running the bathhouse. There are also locked areas and areas of the map that are covered in clouds, so I think there's lots to do.

I actually love this game. At 38 hours of playtime I have now finished majority of the NPC quests, unlocked about 2/3 sections of the Onsen, & still have a large amount of the end-game spirit quests to complete. This game tickled every part of my brain & I really hope the developer expands the world of Spirittea in the future, or makes more games like this as I have been left wanting more! Some random things I enjoyed/found refreshing: - Completing quests for NPCs was actually fun! They each were unique & had me doing something different gameplay-wise every time. No repetitive endless fetch-quests to be found here unlike many other similar games in the genre. - I loved how there is a large amount of unique objects you can find (or steal!) in the world/town that you can just collect & place in your home or Bathhouse as furniture/decor (as long as they aren't required for a quest which some things you find will be). - Managing & upgrading the bathhouse is it's own self-contained Management Sim all on its own, & since I love those kinds of games I found the bathhouse gameplay here to be really enjoyable. - Exploring & experimenting with the overworld is rewarding, with lots of secrets/puzzles to find & figure out as you play. Exploring never really left me empty handed. - The whole aesthetic of the town is very unique & I liked how it all looked. Set in the modern day, in a rural Japanese small town is a cool setting & I'd love to see more of that in other life-sim games.

Can't run. My run button doesn't work. I can only walk at the slowest pace ever. It seems to work fine for a minute or two but once I walk north and south he can only walk at the slowest pace. Sometimes walking inside a house fixes it but only until I walk n/s again. There have been reports of other people having this problem. Walking to the bathhouse takes forever. https://www.reddit.com/r/Spirittea/comments/17ugh1v/slow/ Update: it works fine on GeForce but not my laptop. Yes, I have minimum specs. I will not change my review because even though I like this game and will spend more time in it, I shouldn't have to subscribe to geforce to play a game that should run natively. Especially one with such low spec requirements.

[h1]Ce jeu est incroyable.[/h1] Au début, j'avais un peu de mal avec l'esthétique très "old-school". Puis on découvre assez rapidement qu'en fait l'esthétique match totalement avec l'ambiance et l'atmosphère du jeu, et y contribue. Bienvenue dans ce Japon rural, hanté par des esprits perdus qui ont oublié qui ils étaient, et sème donc le chaos dans le village. Votre mission sera de restaurer le onsen local, et d'y rassembler les esprits. Le concept est original et fonctionne bien. Alors oui, parfois il peut y avoir quelques longueurs dans certaines boucles de gameplay, mais personnellement je considère que c'est cohérent et agréable (je rappelle qu'on est dans un petit village de campagne, dans une atmosphère rurale et pas dans le rythme effréné de la ville, et que parfois c'est pas plus mal d'avoir un jeu chill). Dans l'ensemble, je trouve que Spirittea est une expérience très réussie, même dans ses côté un peu "rudes" en terme de gameplay. L'atmosphère du jeu y joue pour beaucoup, et a quelque chose d'assez unique je trouve. Bref, j'ai hâte de passer encore de nombreuses heures sur ce jeu !
