    Three hours of boring gameplay for $15. Those claiming good gameplay think that watching a kettle boil is both mentally and physically challenging. The art and music are good, but the rest is MIA.

    I avoided Far for much of the year, thinking it was another bog-standard indie exercise in gloom and ambiguousness. I was delighted to instead discover something beautiful, unpretentious and even hopeful. Don’t make the mistake that I almost did.

    Easier to understand than Dark Train, a more soothing Inside. A steam sailboat hurries through the wilderness, and you switch between admiring wonderful visuals and keeping the machine running. [Issue#288]

    FAR: Lone Sails is an emotive trip through a dying, yet beautiful world. It's a journey that doesn't last for long, and whose low replay value makes it hard to come back to it... and yet it's also one that's hard to let go once you start it. Fans of such games are definitely advised to give it a go - oh, and don't wait for a discount because its worthy of its price tag as it is.
