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. CEO Andrzej Blumenfeld acknowledged player disappointment and outlined areas of dissatisfaction, including technical performance and uninspired mechanics. The studio, Far From Home, plans to address these issues in upcoming updates, which will include enhancements to animations, aim assist for controllers, new loading screens, and bug fixes.
