How far can you make it? What will you find? "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 Catherine Ng Dellosa, pocketgamer.com 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.
