"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

TouchArcade Game of the Week
"There are some games that aren’t really about testing your reflexes, or your high scoring prowess, or any of the many other video game-related skills, but are more about offering up an experience. And boy is FAR: Lone Sails ever an experience. ..."
Jared Nelson, toucharcade.com
"A short, intimate and memorable experience … This is one game that’s a must-play for just about anyone.

Ratings and Reviews
Great game, clunky controls
If you liked Limbo you’ll probably love this. It has a very similar vibe. Only thing that lets this game down is the clunky controls. I find myself frequently missing the tiny buttons on my iPhone 11 Pro. I think a virtual joystick might work better on the left side similar to other games (or at least an option to increase button sizes).
A lot of potential but buggy
I keep hitting a bug where I can’t see inside the ship while inside, even when fully zoomed in. This essentially means I have to blindly try to jump around until I either manage to stop it or ride the elevator to to the top to regain sight of my character. A simple toggle view button would save this.
On top of this the tiny movement buttons are a real chore to use. A straightforward virtual joystick would solve this issue.
I understand that the game was made on a shoestring but a tiny team and as such it’s an impressive achievement, so it would be a real shame if it failed to be all it could be for what seem like some fairly minimal fixes.
Beautiful
A wonderful contraption! A Limbo/Inside journey with a magnificent vehicle! People who say it’s boring and repetitive are missing the point. If you can’t get anywhere you’re not too bright! You have to figure out what to do, no hand holding! If you can’t get it to work you need a better device don’t blame it on the game! The game works perfectly!😎👍
