Sheepherds!

Sheepherds! is a wonderfully positive co-op experience that embraces calmness without ever becoming dull. It’s easy to pick up, rewarding to master, and full of gentle humour, whether you’re playing with one friend or a whole group. I spent hours herding across colourful fields and came away smiling every time. This is a game that understands the joy of playing at your own pace, and the joy of playing together. If you’re after something cosy, family-friendly, and sprinkled with just enough challenge for the perfectionists, Sheepherds! is absolutely worth checking out.

Sheepherds feels most clearly directed towards families, but certainly not exclusively so. Between the cooperative nature of the game and its general lack of artificial urgency, I personally found Sheepherds perfect for playing with my significant other. I see no reason why a full group of friends couldn’t have a good time too, whether gathered around a couch or online. If you think that party games feel too active, and cozy games feel too passive, then Sheepherds will feel just right.
