Forever Skies developer responds to ‘significant’ disappointment with the survival game’s launch: ‘It’s tough to see that the game didn’t meet the expectation of so many players’

Forever Skies is an early access survival game on Steam that allows players to explore a skyward world and build airships. Initially rated 'Very Positive,' it has recently shifted to a 'Mixed' rating due to player concerns about repetitive exploration, lack of narrative depth, and stagnation in gameplay.
