What players say

95% of 53,373 reviews are positive · 87% of 231 in the last 30 days

Players praise the hand-drawn art, music, and story's gentle treatment of grief and loss. The most common complaint is that gathering, crafting, and passenger care become repetitive busywork that stretches the pacing. Several players with light sensitivity also warn about frequent flashes during routine activities and say they cannot be disabled.
