Spirit (2017)

Good, easy entertainment. I really enjoyed relaxing with the free mode. Not the most advance game, but definitely worth the low price.

Pretty relaxing game with animals (rabbits) cruising around the island(s) of your control, just digging carrots and having a grand ol' time! Nice for people relaxing with a glass of wine or maybe a J. Enjoy at your own pace!

Really cute game, some fun aspects and a very relaxing game to play, I was nearly put off by the bad reviews until I saw they had only played a few minutes, I'm glad I wasn't, as you progress, the game gets cuter with some very nice touches of humour and more challenging, I definitely recommend for the smile factor alone :)

Looked cute and promising (I crave a decent ecosystem game). Unfortunately, I wouldn't consider it really complete as-is; there's absolutely no ability to save (you cannot hope to cultivate any truly satisfying ecosystem in one sitting), menu options are incredibly limited, draw distance is very small for a (very rapidly) ever-expanding island on which you are meant to keep an eye on the whole ecosystem of. The draw distance problem is further worsened by the fact that some new species will spawn a fair way out on the water, and won't actually appear on your island until you go collect it. And it's moving. There's also, often, extremely little feedback. This is true both of your actions - aside from deleting a creature/item, there's no apparent impact - and of the state of the ecosystem itself. The lack of informational panels only works when there are more sprites/models to communicate the most basic info. For instance, what are things eating? What plants are new sprouts? Which are growing old, and about to die? All in all, at least early free mode gives the impression of the worst kind of guessing game, basically just pouring energy into the flora and hoping that even does anyt…

So, in order to play, you have to go through the title screen which is watching 6 trees grow out of the ground, 1 at a time and some rabbit moving around. Then you have the title of the game dispayed for 5 seconds. If you think that's not important, just wait. I went through a few scenarios: "Click these carrots and make them grow" "click these eggs to make them grow" etc. Takes about 5 minutes each, but in between, you have to wait for the title screen to do its thing each time. The third scenario was this wierd "whack a mole" game that seemed really out of place. It was at night, in water and I was clicking on moles. .... Okaaayyy Maddened by the fact that I was playing more "title screen" and loading screens then the game, I tried sandbox mode in the hopes I could get more out of it. Fish and butterflies I think. At least, that's what ened up on my island. Fish, bugs, butterflies, and not much else. If you delete trees, that's it, no getting them back. I tried going back to the scenarios to see if I missed a tutorial or something on how to get different things on my island. I had managed to pick up a carrot and placed it on my island in sandbox mode, maybe the same could…

This game is intresting cute and fun, I love playing it.... but I can't get past past the whack-a-mole level two, and no, its not becuase I'm bad at it but rather the destroy button works inconsistently. There are still 6 other levels but a of now I'm stuck. Worth the money though.
