Yes, the story is emotional and the environment is beautiful, but if you are not expecting a walking simulator broken up only by running around the current area doing puzzles, it is probably (at least at first) going to be a SLOG. The 2.5 hours I've played so far in my first sitting were moderately frustrating. There's only a very simple compass while paddling (that I actually kind of forgot about and paddled out into the open sea, I think I missed it in the intro) and no kind of minimap on land, which is especially tough for me because I have a really garbage working memory and struggle to orient myself for navigation. There's also a limited stamina for running, for seemingly no reason but to motivate you to collect wisps, and the main character's face is pretty expressionless for such an emotional story. Sort of uncanny valley. But the voice acting is excellent. I do really enjoy running around as the dog, jumping up rocks and occasionally herding sheep, but I don't know if it's enough that I'll pick it back up again. I'm not mad I bought it.. just glad I got it on a really good sale.5 found this helpful

Its such a great game, that makes it worse. I'm going to be stuck like this for hours. Thank you to the devs for this earthshattering heartbreak. I loved the game so much.
It was a relly fun game loved the ending the music was excellent and so was the story line
Chill game, great ending
Fun little game with a heart warming story well told. Also Border Collie.
