An extremely esoteric game, but discovering every single thing it offers doesn't really matter. [Issue#257, p.78]

Simogo are capable of making extraordinary things, but this isn’t one of them. The name “The Sailor’s Dream”, it turns out, is apt. Like a dream, this an experience you’ll forget all about soon after leaving it.

To give in to its spell, you just need to let go. [Christmas 2014, p.123]

It’s precisely this fascination with mirroring form and function that makes The Sailor’s Dream so uninteresting to rate. To rank neatly among a pantheon of other toys assigned numbers. If there was every any question of it before, let there be none now: Simogo is doing the most significant, impactful work in mobile today.

The Sailor's Dream is as much a "sound game" as it is a video game--if it is a game at all, a proposition its own developers have posed.

If you are looking for a space to contemplate, a place to linger, a path to walk in patient consideration, you will find yourself at home in The Sailor’s Dream for quite some time. And in the moments when you are not playing, you will hear the voices within the labyrinth sing to you.

The Sailor's Dream is a gorgeous, meditative experience with heart and soul. But it's lacking in substance, depth, and meaningful interactivity.

It’s merely a fine, uninspiring story, with well delivered dialogue and art, but lacking that something that can truly engross those that are eager to set sail.
