Score: 78/100

Story: N/A

Gameplay: 5/10
The gameplay concept isn't bad it just gets repetitive. It's just maintenance on your ship and puzzles every now and then. If it wasn't for the great moments this game had, I probably would've got really bored.

Graphics: 8/10
Technical stuff alone, it's alright. The set pieces on the other hand are spectacular. Whether it's sailing past huge abandoned cargo ships or the ending 15 minutes which I won't spoil, it all is just breathtaking.

Artstyle/Direction: 10/10
This game just had me in awe almost from start to finish. Especially in the moments where it's just you and your ship sailing in a beautiful open area.

Soundtrack: 9/10
Speaking of those moments where it's just you and your ship, that is when the soundtrack really picks up. You are accompanied by soaring music that fits the mood perfectly. The music always comes in at the right time whether you are trying to sail away from imminent danger or just cruising around the world and it made the ending 15 minutes one of the most amazing video game moments ever.

Sound design: 6/10
It does the job.

Extras: N/A

Overall fun factor: 9/10
Even though it's short, this is one of the most breathtaking video games I have ever played. I recommend FAR lone sails to anyone wanting to have a short chilled-out experience.
