Forever Skies Reviews
With its soaring concept and accessible systems, Forever Skies finds success where it counts – giving players a compelling, sky-bound sandbox to explore and make their own. It stumbles in depth at times, particularly when it comes to combat, but when the skies are this open, you won’t mind flying past a few rough patches. With continued updates and refinement, Forever Skies really has the potential to grow into something special. For now, it’s a polished, focused experience that knows what it wants to be – and mostly delivers.
Forever Skies' take on the post-apocalyptic survival genre is a refreshing one, balancing its airship-building mechanics with exploration and narrative trappings with ease.
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.
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 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 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 is a slow burn of a game. Whilst the constant hunt for resources means you’ll never stay in one place for too long, it does take a while to start to feel like you’re actually making progress. That said, the environments were just begging to be explored and the often tranquil nature of the game made for a relaxing hunt for items, despite the frequent dangers of infection and beasts out for blood! Although it’s not always clear where to go or what to do next, the sense of discovery and satisfaction was a constant reward throughout. For these reasons, I’m giving Forever Skies a Thumb Culture Gold Award.
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.

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.

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.
