Gameplay
In Sail Forth, the player assumes the role of a captain, commanding a fleet of customisable ships in an open-world adventure game. The goal is to navigate across the ocean, discovering and exploring many islands scattered throughout. The game is available in English, German, Mandarin, Japanese and Portuguese.
Reception
Sail Forth received "generally favorable" ratings from critics according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Nintendo Life compared the game's world to the procedural generation of No Man's Sky with the visual aesthetics of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. They praised said visual style, as well as the actual mechanics of sailing, but found that the game was held back by technical limitations of performance and controls.
