Our Expert Score

95/100

Far: Lone Sails is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece of atmospheric storytelling. You are the pilot of a massive, jury-rigged vehicle traversing a dried-out seabed, and the game is entirely about the relationship between you and your machine. The gameplay is a peaceful, rhythmic cycle of managing fuel, adjusting sails, and performing minor repairs while the gorgeous, watercolor-esque landscape rolls by.

There is no combat and no dialogue, yet the game evokes a powerful sense of history and scale. The puzzles are mechanical and intuitive, often requiring you to stop your vessel to clear a path through the ruins of a lost civilization. The soundtrack is breathtaking, swelling at just the right moments of discovery. It’s a meditative, emotional journey that proves you don't need high action to create an unforgettable experience.

"There is something therapeutic about tending to your ship and then just moving along slowly through the day. ... Not a lot of games are brave enough to tell a story this way, and to me, that’s exactly why FAR: Lone Sails is a gem." 5 / 5 - Platinum Rating
