I rarely write reviews for games. In many ways I feel unqualified to talk about a game experience, especially when there are so many professional game reviewers who critique the media for a living. That said, I couldn't help but feel compelled to write some things about Farewell North. Before release, I saw a preview for Farewell North and thought that sounds right up my alley. My partner and my beloved border collie passed away earlier in the year so playing one to experience the joy of herding, tracking, and running as fast as their legs can possibly take them sounded like just the thing I needed. Hoo boy did I have no idea what I was in for. The beautiful way which the story guides you gently along, discovering memories as the islands reveal themselves bit by bit is so genuinely heartfelt. I very rarely felt like I was just playing a game, but unraveling a story. And I think that's where Farewell North truly transcends beyond most games. Exploring grief, joy, curiosity and overcoming hardship are themes that are so difficult to nail down in a game in ways that are so deeply relatable as this has. It felt like this game was made for me, personally - and I don't think I've ever cried with a controller in my hands before... until now. Do yourself a favor and play Farewell North. Then when you're done, hug those you care about and enjoy making memories together.

This was a beautiful f**king game. 1000/10 The music, the views, the story. Everything was perfect. I perfectly shows how our dogs can help us re-connect with the world after a lost. Reliving our most cherished memories, and reconnecting with lost loved ones. As a Scottish girl myself, owned 2 border collies, this game felt so personal. I can't recommend it enough!

A hauntingly beautiful game. I've only just started the 3rd island and I'm already blown away. The gameplay is simple and relaxing, the story is beautiful and impactful while the visuals and music just set the scene perfectly. Truly a gem of a game and a steal at the price. I also fired it up on my steam deck and it ran like a dream.

I don't usually leave reviews, but for this game I have to... Why? First of all, the fluffiest good boy doggo :) I've been anticipating this game for a while, since playing the demo. In the demo you could already tell how much effort, love and feeling was put into this game. I personally thoroughly enjoy this way of storytelling and how the envoirement and atmosphere of the world adds to that story. For me, it's the perfect way to completely immerse myself in a game. I have only just started playing the full version, but so far I haven't lost any of my initial excitement. I can't wait to discover the rest of this beautiful game and story. Kyle, you really have done a wonderful job creating this game and also a wholesome community alongside it! You should be very proud of what you have achieved with Farewell North! I think this will be one of those games I can return to and replay anytime for a comforting and healing experience :)
