FAR: Lone Sails

Subpar game hidden in gorgous visuals

The game looks beautiful. It also perfectly portrays the unsettling atmosphere of post-apocalyptic landscape. Unfortunately the basic game loop (consisting of refueling your vehicle and keeping it operational) is uninspired and poses no real challenge to the player. The game mechanics are unexciting, and heavily interfere with player's ability to enjoy the scenery (which is the game main selling point). Outside of the main loop the only source of variety are obstacles you encounter along the way. The problem is they are so easy they don't even qualify as puzzles, they are just a hindrance to make the player leave the vehicle for a while. I'm giving the game three stars for audiovisual quality and art direction. Apart from that it's more of a glorified clicker than an actual game. It's also rather short, but in this case it's actually a blessing. If the game was any longer, playing it would become an absolute chore.
