If you're looking for the best adventure game 2025 has to offer, one with heart and soul, then you might enjoy single player indie title Farewell North. In this video, games journalist Chris Stead takes you on a behind-the-scenes gameplay walkthrough shown at SXSW. It's pretty impressive for a game solo-developed by Kyle Banks (published by Mooneye Studios).
It’s also a contender for best games with dogs, best indie games and best single-player games categories.
Farewell North is an open-world adventure game where you play as a Border Collie named Chesley. Your mission is to restore colour to a dark and desolate archipelago alongside your human companion, Cailey2. As you explore the atmospheric islands inspired by the Scottish Highlands, you'll uncover hidden paths, herd animals, and free wildlife to bring colour back to her world.
The game features a unique story about saying farewell, filled with emotional depth and companionship. You'll solve puzzles, interact with the environment, and help Cailey overcome her grief while discovering the events that led to the loss of colour in their world.
It's a heartfelt journey that combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and a touching narrative, making it a must-play for anyone looking for an emotional and immersive experience.
