Title: Spiritfarer is the Closest We've Ever Come to a Playable Studio Ghibli Film

Trust me: A person who willingly watched Tales from Earthsea

Spiritfarer is a game that is not going to be everybody’s cup of tea; it is made up of a lot of busywork mixed with a good amount of waiting around. If I had to come up with a comparison to other games I’ve played, it feels very similar to what would happen if you smashed together Stardew Valley and Wind Waker, but as you’ve probably guessed by now, I think it’s also the closest we’ve ever gotten to a playable Studio Ghibli film.

Have you never heard of Ni No Kuni?
This is perhaps the stupidest article title I have ever read.

Ni No Kuni comes up in the video. He's referring to the laid-back tone of the game; its focus on everyday struggles; and its themes, not its visuals.

That said, it's not like Spiritfarer is particularly unique in that regard, especially in the Indie scene.
