Far: Lone Sails doesn't look like much when you look at game play or review videos. I kind of dreaded it even though seeing really really good reviews for it. It's a pretty simple puzzler, that doesn't really apply to much stress to you. It is actually kind of a relaxing game. The sites and sounds are just so beautiful that you just want to sit and watch, but you have to keep your vessel moving. You have to feed it trash for fuel which creates water. This powers you up, but you also have to make sure to release the steam. You also have to watch the sails to use some wind power to not over do your fuel, and run out. You also have to check your trash collector to make sure it isn't full so you collect fore trash, while making sure none of these items get damaged or caught on fire. In that case you have to repair them with a wielding torch, or put the fire out with a hose. You see why you don't have time to sit and admire Far Lone Sails the entire play through? Don't worry you can beat it under two hours so more than likely you will load it right back up to enjoy it some more, and capture the achievements or trophies. In my opinion that might be Far Lone Sails only weakness is how fast it is over. Your just enjoying it so much, and then before you know it it comes to a end. 

It really has the classic Indie masterpiece feel like Limbo or Inside. Just way shorter, and much more simple. Everything else is there though the beautiful graphics, and wonderful music and sounds. You won't regret your time with it I have no doubt. Just look at the reviews it has piled up on Steam, and seems to really bringing the high scores on the console as well. 

Pros: Beautiful Graphics
Wonderful music and sounds
Smooth gameplay
Runs perfect and glitch free

Cons: Kind of short

Overall: 9.0 Far:Lone Sails is one of the best Indies of 2019 to hit consoles. it really delivers a smooth unforgettable gaming experience that most will enjoy.
