    Last week we saw a lot of games drop live during the Indie direct! This is what I would say is one of the biggest ones not only in expectations but price too. Is it worth the price tag and is it as special as it looks? As always thanks for watching, liking and subscribing. This one I spent most my time handheld while I was sick and it was good company!

      It is an absolutely stunning game, I think the art style is what caught my attention first and then the game itself how you can create and personalise your ship how you want it. Brilliant game!
      If anyone reading my comment would like to join a Spiritfarer community group on Facebook that I made please do so! I really just want to bring people together as I love being part of groups like that.
      It’s called “ Spiritfarer community”

      I heard the traveling with no fast travel is a con to this game, as well as unskippable lightning storms etc. Since once you get lightning bottled there isn't much use for it after 1 specific person. I personally don't mind repeating a storm but not a fan of traveling for 5-7 mins back and forth with no skipping.

    This game really shocked me and my roommate as a really enjoyable co-op. The cat can do everything the human character can except talk, and it handles really well. We played the full story, grabbed all the collectibles, fully upgraded every structure, and had $1.36 million sitting in the bank when we were done. It took us 60 hours, probably because we were overly enjoying the resource harvesting, but it never felt like a drag to us. It’s really hard for us to find co-op games that are chill/relaxed paced and casual skill/non-gamer skill level. The lack of frustration made this a great way to unwind at the end of the day.

I also appreciate the fact that the conversations are never just negative. Even when they breach a topic of discomfort, the character often finds a positive in that moment too. Somehow. I like that.

    This seems a game I’d really enjoy, I have this weird thing about resource management games (seriously, my favourite Atelier game ended up being the spin-off Nelke because town building yay!) and a great story is something I never say no to, especially if I enjoy the gameplay and I don’t mind games that others find repetitive. I find it relaxing, getting caught in a loop where my brain doesn’t keep wandering off and stressing me out even more.
    Like Piczle Lines (no idea how to spell that) (as long as you turn off that god awful music x.X) and finding words in those Powgi games, as well as Letter Quest. Really chill pick up and play but accidentally get stuck for longer than I planned games. Same with Farm Together once I got my farm to a size I can’t really manage, but since starting out is slow I had several at the time to switch around with at first. Pro tip from my sister that played it on I think xbone.

I read a few reddit posts where people were able to just change their region and use their regular credit cards, but the posts were from a couple of years ago so maybe they changed that. I didn't think it'd be quite so simple. Many thanks for responding.
