Nov 6, 2014It’s precisely this fascination with mirroring form and function that makes The Sailor’s Dream so uninteresting to rate. To rank neatly among a pantheon of other toys assigned numbers.

-
Nov 6, 2014The Sailor's Dream is a gorgeous, meditative experience with heart and soul. But it's lacking in substance, depth, and meaningful interactivity.
-
Nov 18, 2014The Sailor's Dream is not on par with the previous Simogo productions: instead, it's a game that combines beautiful graphics with questionable storytelling and due to the high price it will be probably enjoyed only by those who like this genre of games.
-
Nov 6, 2014It’s merely a fine, uninspiring story, with well delivered dialogue and art, but lacking that something that can truly engross those that are eager to set sail.

Nov 6, 2014But when it comes to the story itself, there is a nagging sense that either a piece of the puzzle is missing or perhaps that the puzzle just wasn't as interesting as it first seemed.

Dec 26, 2014Simogo are capable of making extraordinary things, but this isn’t one of them. The name “The Sailor’s Dream”, it turns out, is apt. Like a dream, this an experience you’ll forget all about soon after leaving it.
