  I like the idea of Herdling and for the most part it does work well, trotting along behind the beasts is wonderfully relaxing.

  GREAT Herdling continues Okamotive's reputation for unorthodox titles that resonate in unique ways. Desolate and survival-driven, yet warm and freeing, it's an adventure unlike any other despite the occasional hiccups.

  Herdling is a captivating, albeit flawed experience that never has any low points, but never hits any genuine highs either.
