Forever Skies

I like the game design, the style/graphics, how you build your base and explore the planet. One of my fav games is Raft and it feels familiar. But there are so many bugs, lags, crashes. It destroys your progress and you have to start over again. I just upgraded my PC to good specs, better specs than recommended for the game. I have to play mid settings to even connect to the world without crashing the game engine. Don't try it!

I want to like this game but 9 hours in and Its gotten pretty stale quickly. The loop of flying around exploring the same structures with minute differences to try and cobble together enough scrap to build something so you can finally fly to the next story point and do the routine "find these two things, now make this, now go somewhere else" quest has just gotten very stale. I have no frame of reference how deep into the game I am. Am I close to the end? Do I have another 20 hours ahead of me? I have zero idea because everything is just the same. I make progress and the new places I go are barely different than the last. That isn't even touching on the combat in the game, which is clunky and very unfun. Its such a neat concept but it just fails to keep me hooked.

I don't generally leave reviews. But this one kind of got under my skin. I watched one of my favorite youtubers play through this game when it was still in early access. I left it alone because of the jank he kept coming across, figuring it would be smoothed out given enough time. I think this was over a year ago. Bought it recently and played through some of the quests and worked to get enough upgrades that I could start customizing my airship (I love building in survival games and tend to focus on it.) Then, I got to a point in the main quest where you have to interact with a laptop at the top of a greenhouse in order to progress. However, there seems to be a bug that you cannoth break certain things in the area until after you have activated the power for the laptop or it registers as still unpowered. I did not know this at the time and so my entire save was soft locked because I can no longer progress without activating that laptop. I could still build with what I have but I cannot get the higher level items or continue the story without completing that quest. Not interested in restarting my save at this point. I was really looking forward to this game, too.

Excellent blend of exploration of the various locations and creativity for building your airship base. The story is intriguing and the monsters a little spooky.

Nach fast 50 Stunden Spielzeit kann ich sagen: Für ca. 17 € ist das Spiel absolut okay. Es erinnert ein bisschen an Subnautica – nur ohne das Tauchen im Meer. Statt in die Tiefe geht es hier mehr nach oben in die Höhe. Die Grafik ist nicht ganz so gut, aber das Erkunden der Welt macht trotzdem Spaß. Leider gibt es auch ein paar nervige Stellen: Man stößt öfter gegen unsichtbare Wände oder fällt durch Plattformen, obwohl es so aussieht, als könnte man darauf laufen. Das Kampfsystem fühlt sich außerdem etwas langsam und unbeholfen an. Man merkt an manchen Punkten, dass nicht alles ganz fertig oder mit gleich viel Liebe gemacht wurde. Trotzdem gilt: Für den Preis bekommt man viel Spielzeit und eine schöne Spielwelt. Kein perfektes Spiel, aber es hat mir Spaß gemacht. 👍 Empfehlung, wenn man es günstig bekommt

I just came back to play this again after a year. Still have not fixed the outrageous lag issue or added more for a better story line. Many places you explore are virtually empty of loot. I would recommend this game if they had ever fixed the lag issue but at this point i can't. There is no setting in the game or Nvidia or windows that you can change to fix it. It's been a chief complaint for a long time now. Get it together devs.
