This game is good, and a bit frustrating because its *almost* truly GREAT. The game is as if someone played subnautica, loved the part of the game where they got the sub, (my favourite part) and decided to make a whole game of that. Except its in the air, and made the entire thing buildable/customizable. the problem is content. Theres only a handful of kinda stock locations to go to. They get old pretty fast. And even though theres only 4ish surface areas, none of them are really "fun", its an interesting idea and breaks up the game play a bit for the first while, but you'll get very tired of each one long before you collect all the things you need to collect there. all-in-all I'm not sorry I bought it, it was definitely fun, and I'd recommend it. but its a game that you'll feel like you wish there was more to it.
i think this game definitely deserves a positive review. it's a passion project that's rough around the edges on certain spots but overall it's a very beautiful and chill game. you hop on to your sky base and move around whats left of the earth's towers and skyscrapers while managing food and water, and upgrading your ship and equipment. you can build rooms and compartmentalize them however you want, decorate them to an extent, have a garden full of different plants, and a kitchen and a storage room and a research room if you want. i would say landmarks are fairly unique and different from one another, at least the types of towers (so a garden tower will be like all other garden towers but different than a wind turbine tower, and there is fair number of poi's to visit this way). upgrading your equipment and ship parts is satisfying, managing your survival is business as usual. expect nothing revolutionary there. but there is an interesting disease management mechanic and related sub systems in the game. like using a virus analyzer machine to produce a vaccine and then injecting yourself etc. story is mildly interesting as well. interesting enough to expect from a game like this that is. don't expect lovecraftian worldbuilding here (or maybe do? :3). i really don't understand all the hate towards this game. i think it's beautiful. sunrise and sunsets create incredible vistas visually. i usually sleep during the day and explore/do stuff at night because the game is so beautiful at night. my only few negative criticisms could be summed up as follows: - i felt that progression pacing was a bit off sometimes. while playing normally, you may not find the blueprint of something very important for a very long time. and it would turn out that i had to visit a specific tower to get it, and avoid all the inventory hurdles or other similar mild annoyances if i did that. but that's partly on me. this can change from person to person but i feel like the location of some blueprints should be made more obvious to the player. so small issues with item blueprint pacing i would say. - game is a bit stuttery sometimes but it has definitely improved over time. regarding both early access and 1.0. we have much better optimization now but there is still room for improvement. - resources felt abundant to me. i was playing on normal difficulty and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ felt like i was drowning in resources. but that was partly due to my play style. i am a hoarder. i tend to hoard a lot of things in survival games like the long dark, subnautica, pz etc. but thankfully there is a slider setting for these mechanics in the game so i will give that a shot on my second playtrough. that's about it. and none of these criticisms were enough to stop me playing it. the thing is though i would suggest that you take this game slow. in this day and age of players being programmed to drill and churn through the content as fast as possible, if you rush through this game you will not enjoy it. just chillax bro and take in them sweet vistas. check your water collector, take a sip. cook a dust moth and eat that. check your ship for damage. check your database entries and read the ones you haven't read. then check the next thing you need to do. check your resources. collect resources if you are low on them. wait for suitable weather before traveling. complete your blueprints before really venturing out. and take on missions slowly. explore everything. read every entry and collect every item. that's how you will enjoy this game. don't rush through content. listen to the chill music and just look around. cheers
Game with great potential but the aimed vision does not seem to be achieved. Pros : - Great ship design and ship building mechanics. - Great ship interior design. - Item and equipment assets are very well and beautifully created. - Gardening is fun and functional. - Metroidvania puzzle design in POI's can be quite good and tricky sometimes. Cons : - All of the same archetype of POI's are literally the same. That kills the vibe to explore. - Virtual Design of POI's are not pleasing to the eye. - Some Major POI's are nicely designed but they act like a short stops to get necessary tech items. - The tech progression does not give any challenge and feels like a somewhat weak... - Game's story progression -especially the ending- is unfortunately not good enough. I recommend this game only to dedicated survival crafting/exploring loving gamers. I hope the developer's next game would be way better than Forever Skies based on their experiences. Good luck...
I bought this game when it first came out and participated in the initial Beta test. It seemed like an exciting game similar to Subnautica, but in an airship. After playing the beta, I decided to wait for 1.0 because at the time, I really needed a game with a full story behind it. I spent five years waiting for Satisfactory to have a full ending, and I was tired of waiting anymore (still am). So I've just now finished it. About 35 hours worth of play. Was it fun? Sure. I wouldn't call it Subnautica fun, but it has an engaging game play and plot. But there are differences: Subnautica for me was butter smooth and I had no issues exploring. Not so with Forever Skies. Constant pop-ins. Several times I'd be flying my airship and a building would "popin" right in front of it! The grey buildings don't really exist, and if you try to step on them, you will fall through to your death. Only buildings that actually match the radar actually exist and you can step on. When I was "under the dust" the game CONSTANTLY paused, while recalculating graphics. I'd often just stop and flail my mouse around until things started moving again. This was almost every 30 seconds. I had stuttering issues through most of the game actually, but under the dust was particularly awful. I should say that I had no game crashes, or "save ending bugs" like I've read. I was able to play all the way through without a major issue. Others have gone over the janky storage system and while I did enjoy the fact that on your ship, you can build anything using supplies directly from your storage, I did NOT enjoy cycling through every storage container after a run and clicking on "deposit similar" to drop all my loot. There isn't even a keyboard shortcut for this! I got to try the weird "signs" the game offers. I built one sign, and once I discovered you can only cycle through pre-arranged texts, I never built another one again. Good thing, because the same key to "edit" the sign is also the key to "open" the storage, so for the lone storage unit I labeled, I had to be careful how I opened it, or I'd end up on the "edit sign" menu. Searching for which printer can build something was tedious. Was it on my suit printer? Ship printer? Upgrader? Distiller? Furniture printer? Many times I had resort to the in-game database to find out. It was mostly helpful. EXCEPT when building a disease item. For example, I need a Hemorrhagic Fever Item to build an "Immunity Booster". What item makes Hemorrhagic Fever? Nothing in the game says, unless you just remember. The in-game database only talks about what are the causes, symptoms and where you get it. No information on what I put in the DNA replicator to reproduce it. I had to resort to going online and looking up their wiki. Repairs: Your ship rarely takes damage, unless you're being careless, but one problem I had was finding out WHERE it was damaged. One time I was caught out in the open and high in the air during a lightning storm and was struck by lightning. I got the message "A system on your ship has been sustained critical damage". Went looking, found nothing. It was only later on when I was preparing some things that I noticed my catwalk was at 18%. Wish there was a way to pinpoint at least the area of the ship that's damaged. Death: I found the creatures in the game fairly pitiful. Even the top predator in the game was pretty easy to kite around and I could often kill it with just a knife. I did die a lot, but 100% of the reasons for my deaths were misjudging a jump. And part of that was caused by the weird way Forever Skies handles the "Run" key. Run is the Shift key. But if you hold down the shift key FIRST and then press a direction, you don't run. You have to press the direction first, THEN press shift. I died so many times before I figured that out. One of the frustrating things that happens when you die is you lose a portion of your inventory. In the early game when resources are scarce that was a major annoyance, enough that I was going to turn it off, only to find out you can't change that setting in-game! I'd have to start a brand new game with that setting off. By mid-to-late game though, resources are fairly plentiful (and I'd figured out the run thing) so it became less of an annoyance. Story: The story was engaging and fun. I particularly enjoyed the periodic drops from your home station, including the stories and logs they send you. I liked the ending choice, it was very difficult to choose. I could've gone either way (I ended up choosing the humans). The story was very linear and it felt very hand-holdy. "Go here". "Now find this thing". "Now go there". "Now make this medicine". Subnautica was much better at telling the story and letting you find your own way. Airship: You can customize your airship and I did that a little bit, but it quickly became too clunky. For example: You cannot remove the default balloon. You can MOVE it by building rooms all the way to the side and then move if there's enough room, but there's no place to land that's wide enough to walk all the way around your balloon, so you're either building in the air and trying not to fall, or you're getting into your airship and turning it around to fit on the small platform and work on that particular side. I wasn't getting into all that. I just added a new nose, an extra floor and widened it a LOT. If the building interface was better it might've been fun customizing. I got to the end where you have to find and unlock a "balloon workshop". Doesn't that sound like an excellent place to be able to customize your airship? It's right near the end, when you've unlocked the most items and have the most resources. It could have a dock/crane/device to hold your ship and allow you to remove and modify your balloon(s)! It would be perfect for this! But alas, it's just another puzzle platform that you land on and solve. As I went through it, I kept thinking that would be a great place for a major "balloon building" update. Maybe in the future. Even after all that complaining, I'd recommend this game. It was enjoyable, if quick. I don't think it's worth the current price of $29.99 but if you get it on sale it's a bargain.
Okay, my friend had this game for a bit and decided to play it for the first time a few days ago. I decided why not, games like these are way more fun when you first start out together. I watched the videos and got it so we could try it together. when i first saw the videos i really thought it was a rip-off of raft and planet crafter (little Easter egg there too haha) which are both games I like, but the excitement fizzles out pretty quickly, as with all grinder type survival games. I was expecting the same with this game. However, after 29 hours and just 3 days of playing this game.... I can quickly say I was wrong. It far surpasses my expectations. The rich story line, the exciting and sometimes very frustrating puzzles, the interesting twists on modern survival machine crafting. I love it all. Its probably in my top 5 of this genre, mostly because the interesting story and active plot keeps me going in for more which most of these types of games severely lack in. Good job Far From Home.
