Paws and Soul is a peaceful journey through the woods, filled with orb collecting and ghostly visions. You'll learn about David and his family along the way, and further exploration lets you learn about Michelle as well. The dialogue feels unrealistic and the gameplay can be repetitive, but the story keeps you going.
Paws and Soul does deliver in providing a story based around the Buddhist doctrine of rebirth and reincarnation, and I can see how it is quite atmospheric. Unfortunately, the story is far too depressing to make any of it relaxing. The gameplay is fun at first but quickly grows repetitive, and the only thing the game has going for it are the graphics and the vibrant environments. It’s a shame, because Paws and Soul could have been a really good indie game, but there too many vital aspects that haven't been executed well, and all of this combined seriously lets it down.

There’s some joy in experiencing the landscapes of Paws and Soul, but that’s about all that can be said for it — it’s a dull, sluggish effort in service of two boring and awkwardly-conveyed stories that don’t connect with each other. Not all purgatory games feel like purgatory, but this one sure did.
Paws and Soul is a very pretty game to look at, and if it were just a wolf-sim collect-a-thon it could be a pretty fun game. Unfortunately, the unappealing narrative mixed with poor voice acting and unfitting background music are enough to kill what little the game has going for it. Paws and Soul may appeal to those who want to play as a wolf roaming empty yet beautiful landscapes, but it's not for those who are looking to self-reflect or who want to enjoy a deep and thought-provoking story.
From its opening moments to its final seconds, Paws and Soul fails to establish any semblance of harmony between its gameplay and story.
You are a wolf that running around in the forrest , collecting light balls and experiencing the story about a boy.
It is very relaxing, no enemies, no puzzles, just enjoy the amazing graphics and soudtrack.
If you want an exciting gameplay, you are not gonna get it in this game.This game is more like a walking simulator.
So far, I am about 70 minutes into the game and while it is a beautiful game, I find myself not really caring what happens in the story line.
