Forever Skies

“Forever Skies is a vivid, inventive survival game that turns its airship sandbox into a memorable centerpiece: research‑driven progression, satisfying scavenging loops, and a compact, emotionally resonant narrative deliver many standout moments. The score reflects a game with bold ideas and strong atmosphere that’s hampered by a handful of fixable issues; quality‑of‑life regressions (notably the removal of player signs), persistent pop‑ins and stutter in dense areas, and clunky UI/controls; that currently limit its multiplayer and long‑term appeal. With targeted QoL, performance, and UX patches, this could easily climb into the 9s.”

“Forever Skies offers a relaxing survival experience with a unique atmosphere and an intriguing premise. However, its shallow gameplay loop lacks depth and urgency, making it easy to put down after a short session. While the game has charm, it struggles to stand out in a crowded genre full of similar titles.”

“Forever Skies fails to live up to my (admittedly high) expectations, but it does offer a new and exciting perspective in the survival/crafting genre. I enjoyed my time cruising around in my airship, but I definitely feel this could have used a few more months before releasing out of Early Access.”

“Forever Skies adds a fresh spin to post-apocalyptic survival, but solo play suffers from buggy tools. Best experienced with friends and future updates.”

“Forever Skies stuns with its visuals, score, and storytelling—but its true magic lies in the freedom to build and pilot your own airship through a post-apocalyptic sky. It’s thrilling, thoughtful, and wrapped in a tight gameplay loop with real emotional weight. The launch had a few bumps, but with updates on the horizon, this game’s future is nothing but skyward.”

“Forever Skies offers a calm, atmospheric take on the survival genre. While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it delivers a satisfying loop of exploration, crafting, and progression — all centered around a well-designed airship that feels like a true companion. It lacks technical polish and suffers from repetitive environments, but its mood, pacing, and accessibility make it a worthy experience for those seeking a slower, more meditative survival journey.”

“Forbidden Skies is a gem of the survival genre but not a perfectly polished one. Due to technical hiccups and an overabundance of copy-paste places, it does not reach excellence, still it's well worth your time and money.”

“Forever Skies offers a fun narrative survival adventure with a unique spin on how your home base operates. Sadly, its survival mechanics feel unnecessary and its combat is quite boring.”

“Forever Skies is essentially a cozy survival game for anyone who values exploration and a dense atmosphere more than a tough and complex survival experience.”

“Forever Skies provides fun exploration-based gameplay with a dash of combat, but it's hamstrung by performance problems caused by weather effects, story areas, and building.”

“Forever Skies has a great, relaxing core gameplay loop. The atmospheres are vibrant, but still provide the feeling of desolation and complete loneliness. It's very easy to dive into, once you get past the laggy and broken cutscene at the beginning of the game. Overall, Forever Skies is a great experience, and significantly less overwhelming than other games in this genre.”

“There really isn’t one thing that I walked away from in Forever Skies that I absolutely hated; in fact, I found its approach quite refreshing to the genre. Having a lone scientist return to the polluted Earth is a great jumping point for some survival stories. And flying through the world was strangely beautiful at times, seeing the sun rise and set against the green sky and thunderstorms with the impressive lightning flashes and rain were my favorites to witness. Alas there just isn’t enough content currently for me to invest in this game fully, I don’t want to get burnt out on the limited content and then never come back to check out the game in all its glory. Forever Skies isn’t a bad game by any means, it’s just not a complete one and if you know that going in and aren’t bothered by it then you will have some fun in the skies.”
