The final chapter is a boss fight and a great conclusion to the story, I wasn’t expecting this game to feature a sweet boss fight but really impressed that it did.

101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Forward to the Sky is a lighthearted third-person action adventure that reflects the ambition and enthusiasm of a small indie team aiming to capture the spirit of classic exploration-focused games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are very appealing to the eyes, and since this adventure is portrayed through different parts of the day, we get to enjoy different weather, going from a beautiful sunny morning, into a magical night, and ending in a wrapped torrid sunrise!
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character design is playful and expressive, while the environments balance fantasy charm with a sense of forgotten history.
