More about FAR: Lone Sails
Critics scored it 80. Players sit 15 points higher at 95 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 14 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to November 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,077 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 1,323 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
This was exactly want I wanted to play: beautiful game with a soul. Game that will not put me into debt, I should not return here again to do things, it's over. It's just like a beautil book - you read it and it's now finished. I don't needed to read tutorial - everything is right there. Yes it's short. But I don't want it to be any longer, just to repeat things I already did. Quests are bit too easy for my taste...

This is a beautiful game and feels like a journey. Truly artistic. The music was amazing at setting the mood and wonderful by itself.
A beautiful combination of light puzzle platforming and vehicular management with some lovely environmental storytelling and a great score.
