    Unfortunately I don't get the appeal of this game.
    It is a very simplistic and short puzzle game with bland visuals.
    The music is OK but can get repeltitive. There is pretty much no story in the traditional sense but you can get some of the lore if you pay careful attention to the scenery.

    All in all this is a game that relies entirely on its atmosphere to get you hooked into the experience. That never happened for me though. I waited three hours for the game to get good until the credits rolled.
    I guess if the trailers look exciting to you then go ahead and grab it but don't expect it to have any more depth than the trailers show.    … Expand

    I did enjoy the art, music and story, but the gameplay is just too plain and simple. I also don’t like the way they designed to control the ship...they deliberately made it too tedious and easy to hit wrong button

    FAR: Lone Sails is fine for what it is, and I liked my time with it — but throughout it all, I couldn’t help but feel like it could’ve been even better than it was.

    Inspired by games like Journey or Limbo, Lone Sails draws you in on Switch with charming music and an expressive art design. An emotional trip through an apocalypse void of humans.

    Without saying a word, FAR: Lone Sails conveys a poignant tale of hope and perseverance, masterfully balancing style with substance for an experience that feels every bit as sublime as it looks. Sure, you could grumble about the shortness of the experience, the occasionally obtuse puzzles and the very, very minor control issues, but these problems dissolve away once you're invested in the journey. We highly recommend that you give this a spin.
