- FAR: Lone Sails is a relaxing and beautifully atmospheric adventure platformer where we drive a steam-powered vehicle across a deserted world towards some unknown destination.
Alex Sem · Apr 07, 2021 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Far: Lone Sails is a well paced and designed narrative adventure. Even though it's sometimes hard to see what is going on, its meditative nature, puzzle design, and overall storytelling are top-notch. Its blend of mechanical interaction, traversal challenges, and quiet routine make it one of the more satisfying games in this genre that I've encountered.
Campbell Bird · Oct 22, 2020 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Far: Lone Sails is a gorgeous little game. Like the machine that acts as your stalwart partner the whole way through, it can be clunky at times, but any bumps in the road are easily paved over thanks to some beautiful environments, plenty of exciting encounters, and the absolutely stunning music that accompanies it all. Its full of stressful challenges that made me truly care for the vehicle that carried me through them, and very few games have matched the moments of absolute bliss that come from unfurling my sails and peacefully cruising along with its fleeting fair winds.
Tom Marks · Aug 16, 2019 Reviewed onRead full review - FAR: Lone Sails is a remarkable game that attempts to convey a message through its presentation and gameplay, without using any words, and totally succeeds in doing so. The experience may be on the short side, but if you're looking for something truly artistic and beyond much that has been done so far, look no further.
Francesco De Meo · May 02, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - 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.
Graham Banas · Apr 15, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - The title starts by tickling the innate need in gamers to move forward, before gently coaxing them into a pilgrimage. In only three hours, FAR is a reminder that even when things get rough, we can always push forward.
Ben Newman · Apr 07, 2019 Reviewed on PS4 - Far: Lone Sails is a visually and atmospherically stunning game with original and intuitive gameplay. Every part of it captures the feeling of being alone in a desolate world. Though not very long and not much of a challenge, it proves to be much more than a standard 2D scroller.
Adam McGrane · Apr 02, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - FAR: Lone Sails isn't for everyone. It's an innocent and accessible experience that silently conveys a surprisingly deep story. The visual design and music complement the barren world for an enormously warm-hearted adventure. FAR: Lone Sails does a lot with so little for a simplistic but captivating experience.
Grayshadow · Mar 28, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Far: Lone Sails is a game that says a great deal without ever uttering a single word. Much like Dear Esther, it’s a journey that can be interpreted in many ways, and as such, your view of its gorgeously desperate world will constantly vary throughout. It’s a shame, however, that such a compelling canvas is slightly held back by its simplicity and its short length. Still, it’s a fascinating tale that deserves attention, just don’t expect too much from its gameplay.
Mark Sherwood · Mar 25, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - A side-scrolling vehicle adventure with a platformer’s stylish detailing, FAR: Lone Sails is a simple but charming little ride that gradually builds up momentum and never loses its way.
