FAR: Lone Sails

I really enjoyed me time with Far. There's something about it that makes it quite fun despite being very simple, having little challenge, and essentially no story. I loved the mechanics of keeping the craft fueled, repaired, and running as well as the speed management aspect. The upgrades you find as you progress all feel significant and improve your craft in a way I genuinely appreciated. The atmosphere is really intriguing. I found myself excited to see what I'd come across next. It's also clear they tested extensively and the game is very well designed because of it. The controls are tight and I love the way the main character slowly floats down from heights. The music and sound brilliantly subtle and really added to the desolate yet beautiful world. I want more of this.

The game took me 3 hours and 3 minutes in one sitting. Really enjoyed the game. It is really beautiful and catches you with it looks. The gameplay is engaging and fun, you will love it if you like miromanaging.

This is one of a game where I could play much more longer, so beautiful - great atmosphere and so relaxing. But I liked to donate for the game, really good stuff from Switzerland, I hope that we will see more in the future!

I played this game twice over: once alone and once with my 5 years old daughter and I can say that we both enjoyed it very much! Yes, the game is short and does not have a narrator straightforwardly spoon-feeding you the story - it`s all about exploration and your imagination. Do not speed though the game - look at every scene, every relic of the old world, every sign and poster and you will be able find all the puzzle pieces you will need to understand enough of the game`s story. Indeed, this game is all about the atmosphere and how it makes you feel - it`s rare that a game will actually get you to fear that you might not make it to the next scene or get your hopes up that this is the moment when you find something important. It`s an emotional roller coaster if you let yourself be dragged into it. Especially the ending is unexpected and quite different from most games and I guarantee it will not leave you indifferent. I highly recommend buying and playing this game!

Played it through in one evening. So it was the right length for me to enjoy it in one piece. The story happens in your head while your traveling through this world, solving simple puzzles (with only little chance to fail by destroying your machine). The music is awesome just as the graphic is beautiful. I can recommend this game to all players who don't have to much time anymore to play all day but who want to have an experience which is more or less unique.
