Reviewing this after playing its sequel: Changing Tides and I am so pleased and surprised at how much I enjoyed them both, they both would have easily made my top 5 list the years they came out. Surprisingly, I just stumbled across Lone Sails after seeing a screenshot and going, "huh, that looks pretty" and have not heard of anyone in my sphere playing it. It's brilliant, the perfect length, absolutely stunning art and visuals, emotional music, intuitive puzzles and polished mechanics... I really have no complaints and am so glad I played it. One of my favorite aspects is since you play as a lone protagonist, I found myself getting highly attached to my vehicle, as it was sort of the character's sole "companion" so when anything happens to your vehicle it hits hard emotionally and is surprisingly dramatic. Love it. If you enjoyed this game, I absolutely recommend its sequel, they're a great little duology.
