"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

FAR: Lone Sails Reviews
Probably one of the best mobile games we have played the graphics are stunning and overall it was an amazing game!!
So happy to play a unique, amazing game that actually has an end and you only pay once. Hauntingly beautiful game. Highly recommend.
The game gives no tutorial or hints. You just jump into a beautiful but sad world and learn as you go. You solve puzzles and operate a big steam punk land vehicle regulating fuel and its operations/repair. The game is short but beautiful and very relaxing. We highly recommend!
Truly a work of art and the soundtrack is nothing short of a masterpiece. You can actually listen to the soundtrack on Spotify and we highly recommend. Joel Schoch really put a great score together.
We rarely spend money on a game but here we am. Suddenly our home broke in half and we crashed into a shoreline. Talk to us. Whats next?
We love this game so much. It’s essentially a puzzler / resource management game – lots of making sure your vehicle has enough fuel, stowing your stuff, fixing damage – and we love the sense of mastering our situation. But also it’s interspersed with long, peaceful stretches of just traveling along under the open sky, and the sunsets & sunrises & snow & rain, with the atmospheric music, somehow just make us so happy. For a postapocalyptic game it’s surprisingly lovely. We’ve played it all the way throigh five times now. Hope there’s a sequel.
Do not hesitate, if you like adventure and have a good pair of headphones, buy this game right away.
Very glad we gave this game a try. The first journey feels long and you feel like youre truly on a trek. Highly recommend.
If you like a captivating adventure, surrounded in a post apocalyptic world that will trigger many emotions, this is the game for you. Its almost like watching a movie where you have some control. Its not an arcarde nor a fast past game. This game is art, and as far as art goes, this is a masterpiece. Without a doubt, the best game we have ever found on the app store. Thank you.
The graphics, the style, the aesthetic, its everything we were looking for. We are sad that it ended so soon, but we would 100% recommended this game! It works your mind, is very interactive, and overall very enjoyable. 10/10!!
We liked this game so much, we bought the sound track.
The game has a story that makes you determined to finish and what a joy it is to play. The way it plays is so peaceful as you get a rhythm to power youre vessel or as you sail along with a great scenery and wonderful music as it unfolds. Puzzles are able to be figured without help yet keep you thinking. The end is satisfying story wise . Hope they make another like it :)
Solid gameplay, beautiful music and detailed environments. Captivated us from start to finish, we would absolutely love to see more of it.
We enjoyed it and left a 5 Star rating, but we really think there should be a sequel, like at the start its the cutscene from the first game and a ship comes and rescues you but the ship sinks and you have to go on a journey in a different wooden boat creation to get to the civilization and etc, please respond and make a sequel, a sequel is always important.
This is a beautifully crafted game that has everything. There is an interesting mechanic to piloting the machine without becoming overly complex. The puzzles are just hard enough. The music and aesthetics are incredible. And the story, as its visually presented, is incredible. We hope there is a sequel!
We love the game we played through the entire thing, we hope to see more like this from the developers. The only thing we can say the game was missing is maybe just a setting to change the control size because they are very small and too create an endless game mode where the player has to do their best to not wreck their ship and see how far they can get before it does. That way players could continue playing the game, we see no real reason to attempt the game again now that we’ve beaten it :(
Really cool graphics and great music to go with it, we very much enjoyed playing and we hope theyll release more games like this one. Definitely worth the 4 bucks!!
Its super immersive and tranquil, with moments of excitement. Its honestly a work of art and a breath of fresh air for mobile gaming. Bravo!
Simple and elegant. Great way to pass time. Hope you come out with another one.
This is an excellent game. Amazing Graphics and challenging puzzles. Has it all. We rarely write a review.
This one of the best games that we played in a while it feels nice the sound track is amazing then how you move though out the game is great.
Is a great to play but one thing they should have done is added more lore to it and make it a bit longer because we beat the game in 1 hour.
We have never played a mobile game from start to finish until FAR: Lone Sails. This game made us feel like a 10 year old in front of our SNES playing Chrono Trigger, or some other Square adventure of equal awesomeness. The wasteland mood, post-apoc jazz music, the clunky gears, steam-enginery, and the fairly casual gameplay is pretty much perfect, and this is coming from someone who specializes in future/cyberpunk/wasteland ambient music and videos. Its superb. Even felt some strong emotional undercurrents with the intentionally vague but symbolic storyline. Guys, you really have to try this game. Its pure magic. We cant wait to see what comes out of their workshop next. 5 stars. No question about it.
Atmospheric, great soundtrack, really cool idea with all the engines. Inspiring!
Great way to pass some time. This game will take your heart rate down a notch, which is a nice change. We’ve had this game on PC and iPad for a long time. Not sure why we waited to play it. It was worth the wait.
This game took us to places in our mind we had forgotten existed. The simple gameplay made it relaxing, and the journey breath taking. Visual styling, sound design, and music (oh our goodness, the music!) make this an experience we will not soon forget. Bravo to all involved! We would say make a sequel, and we hope you do, we are yearning for more.
Perfect? No. But definitely worth it. Challenging? Yes, but easy enough to figure out everything without outside help. Yes, we didnt figure out the steam, welder, etc. Immediately, but that was our own fault for not being better at puzzle games. Our only complaint is that some of the areas were a little too dark. Not that we couldnt do it, it just wasnt as enjoyable running around in the dark, especially since the graphics were so nice when you could see them. Anyway, to the build team we say, IGNORE THE CRITICS, you did an amazing job. We pay 8-10 dollars to go see a movie that lasts less than 2 hours. This was just as good as any movie and lasted twice as long. So, whens the next one…….?
Yeah its an cool game but we dont know if its worth 4 bucks.
This is our best game we love this we can waiting for a 2 part.
Its really a beautiful game that plays perfect on the ipad-Im a musician and really appreciated the moody backdrop the game provides-perfect amount of action and not too difficult puzzle solving made a really enjoyable game-was sad to see it end.
We rarely review games, but this game deserves some praise. The art is beautiful, the game is relaxing, the puzzles not overly difficult ( we did get stuck a few times). Al in all, very enjoyable. Running the ship and getting it through the tough spots was very satisfying. Highly recommend that you give the game a shot.
We love this game but it was very short, mabye you could maks a second one where you are on a boat or smth. Just an idea.
In the spirit of LIMBO and Inside, a beautiful, suspenseful, and magical meditative, and generally simplistic (just what we needed), puzzle adventure. In the midst of COVID and routine family dramatics a lovely escape to another world.
The art was off the hook! Game play and music was terrific. Want more of this. Looking forward to next one Thank you!!
Love it Beautiful game 10 out of 10.
We enjoyed this game so much we were sad to see it end. No instruction, hints or cheats but it allows you to load a previous auto save as you figure it out. Once we started the game it was hard to put it down.
Beautiful game, atmosphere, and dynamics. Screams for a sequel. No, really, PLEASE, we BEG YOU!
We enjoyed played this game , thank you very much.
This is a beautiful game, proving that no; we dont need trillions of players competing to enjoy something. The environment is one of a kind, and a Journey reminiscent of Journey(by ThatGameCompany) One of our favorites so far!
Do not regret. The game really draws you in with the spooky atmosphere. Only complaint is the nights are a bit too dark and we accidentally threw our lantern in the incinerator. Ill manage though.
We’ve got a number of games on our phone. A few that we think would be able to keep us entertained till the end. This is the first that has done so beautifully right to the very last and that we actually completed. Thank you for a beautiful game, we are looking forward to what we hope to be the next part in his adventure.
The game works very well on our Ipad. Beautiful! We hope the author comes out with a sequel. No Zombies Woo Hoo!
This is a game that will make you feel like youve stepped into a post apocalyptic world. There is a certain sense of longing the developers were able to create and make you feel. The music is melancholic and, along with the strange and mechanical sounds, it helps create the atmosphere in a unique way. Very beautiful game and definitely worth the money. We only hope there will be a sequel. Thank you for the experience.
Such a gorgeous game! Its one of those games that you feel heartsick knowing it will end. We hope there will be a part two!
We found myself surprisingly attached to the ship/car/train/boat thing in this gamethere were times when we fell off or it rolled away and we literally yelled nooooooooo…. As we ran after it to save it. And between obstacles when you have a few minutes of flat out full speed running and its chugging along smoothly, its amazing. Like The Road or Inside, theres just enough hint of a story to make you want more. At the end we just wanted to keep going. There were minor issues with controls (I got stuck and had to force quit a few times) and the camera (being able to pan around would be very helpful, and your view ahead when moving fast is way too limited) but not enough to be a real problem. Sequel please!
This is such a beautiful game to play. We had so much fun. We really hope there is a part two coming for this game.
This is the kind of game we like: slow paced, beautiful, immersive, with quests or goals but no villains to kill. The graphics are gorgeous, the music is beautiful and enhances the atmosphere of the game, and the gameplay is well paced and enjoyable. The puzzles are not hard but thats something we like in games. We were able to complete it in just a few days, and we enjoyed every minute of it.
Honestly by far this is the best mobile game that we have ever played in our entire life. Nothing else has ever come close to this. The graphics are absolutely amazing and the game just makes us feel so relaxed and for a 2-D game, its extremely entertaining. Its just that if the developers are reading this, please tell us that theres gonna be a part 2 or future updates or something. But really, that game was something else entirely. Wonderful job to everyone who worked on it. Thank you.
