If this update fixes any issues you’re having with the game, great! If you’re still nervous about picking it up, maybe Our 8/10 rating from 2020 will tempt you, where we say “Spiritfarer balances no-nonsense platforming, light exploration, and forgiving resource management with a beautifully realized world with a cast full of characters charming, likable, memorable.”
We still don’t know what the Jotun and Sundered developers will do next, but their dedication to updating and maintaining Spiritfarer keeps us hopeful for the future.
