Jan 3, 2023Sail Forth is a cute and fun adventure title. With procedurally generated mechanics and a vast world to explore. Sadly, though, its story lacks depth and lore, and the action can become repetitive. Consequently, the shortcomings prevent it from truly excelling.

Jan 3, 2023Sail Forth might appear a little too simple at first, but it has mechanical depth. It is hard but satisfying to put together a solid fleet with varied capabilities and find ways to constantly improve its effectiveness. The game offers quite a few narrative threads to pull on. Even if the story and characters are not its best element, the sailing and management more than make up for them. Players who expect a full-on open-world experience might be disappointed. But the smaller areas deliver extra meaning for each encounter, regardless of whether it is another pirate fight or a race, or something else. Sail Forth doesn’t deliver on all its mechanics but it nails the sense of freedom and exploration.
