"If you’re after a unique experience, Wandersong completely has you covered. The singing mechanic works perfectly, and while it may feel a bit too easy at times, the combination of the visuals, writing, and various gameplay objectives across a generous seven-act structure make for an incredibly compelling platforming experience that you’d do well to check out." ...

Playing as a bard trying to save the world, this puzzle platformer delivers on as many laughs as it does feels. Everything from combat to trying to advance to the next area is done through singing, which leads to a lot of creative writing with the wacky characters the game introduces. For only a 20 dollar asking price, you get a lengthy ten hour long journey traveling the land as a wholesome bard, enjoying beautiful music of the world and having a lot of wholesome encounters. I honestly can't bring myself to say anything bad about this game, and recommend it to anyone who wants a good smile.… Expand

I have just recently finished Wandersong and I cannot get over how good of a game it is.
The game takes place in 7 different acts, each in a different place with different characters. Every act is the perfect length, so you get a beautiful breath of fresh air every now and again. The characters are some of the best in any video game I've played, each filled to the brim with personality and backstory. It's just plain fun to run around and talk to people. The gameplay, art style and music is gorgeous. The singing mechanic is used in so many different ways, wether your luring birds or using it as a light, singing is marvelous. No spoilers, but I will tell you that the ending is incredibly satisfying. Deserves a sequel. 10/10… Expand

I’m usually one defending games that are mediocre because there’s usually a redeeming quality or maybe people just didn’t give them a chance. Well I heard awesome things about wandersong...I was going to just buy it in the switch for one of my long trips but just held off and boy am I glad..this game sucks and I hate to say that. I’m really glad Microsoft put it on game pass because they saved me some coin. All you do us go around with a radial bar around you that if you press it in a certain direction the bard sings a note. So the story basically is about saving the planet and only you can sing to maybe stop the catastrophe...I played the first 3 chapters and kept wondering if the game is going to get better..where’s all this awesomeness and mind blowing experience I’ve been hearing about. I went from boring dialog to solving parts dance dance revolution style by pushing my analog stick to match what the enemies or puzzles wanted..snooze fest...maybe I’m just not deep like the neckbeards out there and only games like these make sense to them because did you ever talk to those lads with fedoras...they just go in just as dumb...so yeah..this game gets the masterful 1 out of 10..thanks game pass for saving he money...I just didn’t get this game at all. What’s so good about it… Expand
