“This review started as a "yes with caveats," but I realised partway through that the only positive thing I can say is that it's pretty when it runs, and a fun way to kill time. I played it when it first released in 1.0.…”
“Nice game, mostly calm with some fighting. I have recommended it for some of my kids and grandkids. It is not the same action kill ever thing, but think, plan and explore. Although I hate heights ;) it is still a good…”
“This is a game, which i would call aggressively mid. The cool part: The airship/blimp building. The idea behind it is fun. The building system is, well not great, but good. The looks you can achieve, the items you can…”

“i played a bit before the official release and the performance then was awful i had to run the game at 1080p downscaled from 1440p on a RX 7800XT and i got about 60 even though it would drop, but the entire games…”
“Hello all .. Tested this game back when it was on beta/Early acess now.. i have this game on pc and let me tell you they have done alot of improvments.. IF you try the demo for this game be sure to know ITS an older…”

“Starting off with the negatives the performance at times did drop at some place(watching the smog disappear and freeze my game before loading it back in) but not enough to stop me from having fun and completing the…”
“Very good game! Interesting story. Building airship is amaizing!”
“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.”

“Been playing this with the girlfriend after she wishlisted it. It's a lot of fun to play together as a cooperative. Only thing is that you have to eat a lot of bugs. Works on her system, Steamdeck and a 2021 $800 HP…”
“Great game, and great story. Technicali I had one "bug", I finish the game and never find the "pipes" blueprints, it was not that anoyng becouse i try always play minimalistic but if you like to automatize everything…”

“Another example why you should never buy Early Access games. Most of the time you only get unfinished crap. This game plays even worse in its "final release", than during early access: - the gameplay is boring and…”
“It isn't that I dislike it, but I would not recommend it. With the caveat that I've only played about 2 hours, I have to say I'm not really feeling like I want to play much more. This is so very like Subnautica and its…”
“Steam Store Trash. Forever Skies feels like Steam store filler more than a fully realized game. It runs poorly, and the visuals do not look nearly good enough to justify the performance issues. If a game is going to…”

“With friends, the game crashes so frequently and so much progress is lost that the game becomes very tedious, having to redo hours of work. Don't play with friends until they fix coop features.”
“No, I can't honestly recommend. It ran pretty poorly in multiplayer with way too many crashes. Not to mention the progression really felt a bit stunted and most of our building and prepping for stuff was really for…”
