This is an absolutely unacceptable PC port. I pray you add essential PC functionality and options before the full launch
  • There is no display options such as a real resolution option.
  • There are no proper graphics options to change things like motion blur, texture quality, effect intensity, etc. Just a button that toggles between 3 presets.
  • There are no mouse smoothing/camera smoothing option.
  • You can not rebind any keys in-game. You can circumvent this by using third party programs.
  • No exclusive fullscreen
  • Is there Vsync? I have no idea.
  • From reply by Kondra: No mouse cursor in menus.
  • No accessibility option letting you disable the flashbang screen transitions where the
    entire screen turns white.
  • No mouse sensitivity options This has been added, bravo developers.

Probably more things I am missing, I saw some people mention that there are unskippable cutscenes, which, even if an integral part of the game's experience, should be up to the player if they want to skip.

EDIT: I didn't make this thread for me (or others) to ♥♥♥♥ on the game. I love the game, it is amazing, might be in my top 25 games of all time. It is just an unacceptable PC port, and that needs mentioning.

Some newest AAA games don’t even have that option 🤣😂

But yeh, you are right. This port seems to be lazy port straight from mobile version. Would be nice to see proper menu / settings / controls implemented.

Only Issue I have myself with this port is that it’s frustrating to navigate the menus and such with the controller. I haven’t tried mouse/keyboard.
Yesterday I found out that holding the shift key enables the mouse cursor, although being able to see what button does what outside of the tutorial would certainly help.

Partially correct, but the good news is that devs have been actively reducing the amount of unskippable cutscenes in the game. There were far more unskippable cutscenes when I started playing the game years ago.

Also notice that all cutscenes are unskippable during the first playtrough of the game, and sometimes during ng+ they may still be unskippable due the game being buggy, but after beating the game couple times the bug should be gone.

How does this game also look rougher than Journey? Is it just me?

Are you getting controller support? It didn't work for me (using a PS4 controller, haven't tried any others.)

I know this is a bad excuse, but Sky was originally a mobile game.

It's true that Journey had graphical features like wind carrying sand realistically around your character. Sky doesn't have features like that, because it has to be possible to run it on older mobile devices.

Hit the Z key on your Keyboard. ;-)

"No exclusive fullscreen

What for? This is a literally smartphone game just ported to PC, why in the name of God you need these settings? You asking for a lot of gimmick basically. I haven't checked if this game runs on UE or not but if it does, you can most of it do yourself via Engine.ini file.

Sky uses it's own engine.

Keep in mind that Sky is an unfinished game. Not just on PC, but on every platform. Riddled with bugs, glitches, players fall through the ground, few settings, etc. If you check the version of the game on any platform, it starts with "0." and it's no coincidence. So I kinda expected that the PC port won't be similar to other (indie) PC games. But despite all this I do love the game and enjoy playing it.

This is quite a bad game. Graphics and visuals are 3 generations behind, it is not charming nor inspiring in any way. The UI looks and feels like something from the soviet union. Movement is slow and boring. I don't get it.

Yeah standard PC video settings, not a part of a mobile game. I believe the game provides enough settings of what it is, if you need more or have issues with such simple port then I believe you either run this on a potato machine or you really just are entitled and think you need to have everything just 'cause. Also thanks for the points.

It works fine. If you hit Z on the keyboard it tells you all the menu's and keybinds.
