FAR: Lone Sails

It's fast and with good atmosphere. But not long.

I feel strangely attached to it. Short and sweet

It is like a beautiful painting with an orchestra playing while you admire it. Use your own imagination and it will come to life. It's a short experience but emotions are not measured in quantity. I can grind countless hours for loot in one game or let my imagination fly and embrace the emotions that come with it. I will enjoy the first but I will never forget the later. For me 5 stars with a strong recommendation - a great debut title - but it's not for everyone.

Despite the relatively short time you'll need to beat the game i think 15€ is more than worth it. What a great experience. The game design ist just beautiful and although most of the puzzles were rather easy, i felt well entertained throughout the whole game. You basically travel from the wastelands of a post-apocalyptic world to... well better no spoilers. You do that by means of some steampunk-like-vessel, which needs resources to be operated, can be upgraded, repaired, etc, but of course you'll come across some obstacles (resembling said puzzles). What makes the game perfect for me is the simple, tranquil yet not boring game play, the absolutely beautifully designed world and combined with that, an absolutely phantastic sound track, which, as the story developes, shifts from relaxed to dynamic moments an vice versa. I really hope to see more games like these in the future. Piece of art really.

It's a short experience but an amazing one. The art, music and atmosphere are superb and I loved every minute of it. If you are into these kind of games this one is deffinatly worth picking up. Don't buy it if you want an x amount of hours for your Euro/Dollars or a game with complex game mechanics; this is not that kind of game. It's an atmospheric game where you maintain your steam machine while driving through very pretty painting-like landscapes with the occasional puzzles. There is no explaination of what the world is about other than it being post apocalyptic (no zombies thank God). Nothing is explained and I personally like that; it lets you fill in the blanks for yourself. TLDR: Great little game with amazing visuals and music. Worth the money.
