FAR: Lone Sails Review
A thoughtful journey about what we leave behind. FAR: Lone Sails is a lonely journey through a world that is past its prime.

Should they still be a thing? Almost since the advent of video games, people have reviewed them. And with those reviews came review scores. We’ve all seen them used and we all have probably disagreed with a few over the years.
