    FAR: Lone Sail could have been great. The game nails the emotional attachment to your vessel, creating a neat gameplay loop, combined with lovely art design and a beautiful soundtrack. However, the constant need to stop, combined with simple puzzles and conveying a dying world we can’t interact with created a dissonance which meant that attachment doesn’t extend to the world itself. It was enjoyable but not overly memorable.

    FAR: Lone Sails is a lovely title. Remarkable environments and a strong art direction anchor a brief but compelling title. While the puzzles and amount of resources never really hit a point to make anything truly challenging, the resource management loop is more satisfying here than it usually is in more survival-focused titles. If you don’t mind that the game isn’t terribly challenging, it’s well worth playing. The laser focused design paints a bleak, but still hopeful world, and the wordless narrative has a powerful conclusion that brought us right up to the brink of tears.

The sound design, game play, and artwork are fantastic. It took me around 3 hours for my first play through which for me is the perfect length for this type of game. (To 100% the trophy list will require at least three play throughs.) The game makes every moment count and its an epic journey from start to finish. The entire production breaths quality and I would recommend the game to anyone that enjoys the finer things in life.

    P.S. I get frustrated at the negative/average reviews of this game. They are equivalent to college beer drinkers reviewing fine wine. Nothing wrong with beer...but don't compare a 30 pack of bud light to a single glass of your finest chardonnay. Savor your experiences!    … Full Review »
