This isn't a big "STAY AWAY" sign and overall the game was okayish but I honestly don't like it when compared to the original FAR: LONE SAILS. In the big picture this game is pretty much like to the first one but to me personally it just seems that whatever was added felt worse than the original (From how I remember it, which WAS a while ago.): - Throughout the entire game it felt much more like a slog than the …

One of the best indie gems out there! I'm glad to find that the sequel is great as its own. FAR: Changing Tides is a chillax game where you sail around the destroyed world with some puzzle and micromanagement elements sprinkled in the way. Unlike many other relaxing indie games which get boring after the first hour, this game throws you just enough gameplay variations and interesting settings enough to entertain for …

Absolutely gorgeous game. In most ways I feel that it improves even on the first game. I have to chuckle at the reviewers who say that the game has "too much dead air". Like, dudes... c'mon. The game is about soaking up the post-apocalyptic environment, on your own, journeying across a desolate, flooded planet. What were you expecting? Zombie attacks every 30 seconds?! It's no "Grand Tourismo", that's for sure. This …

FAR: Changing Tides is a serene yet emotionally weighty journey that transforms a flooded, desolate world into a canvas for quiet storytelling and patient exploration. As the lone protagonist, a child wandering through the ruins of civilization, you discover and eventually bond with a multi-function sailing vessel that becomes the heart of the entire experience. The game takes the companionship between traveler and …

Playing this right after FAR: Lone Sails, this game was overall good but not as good as its predecessor. FAR: Changing Tides added a bit more complexity in the new vehicle. Which in my opinion over complicated the simplicity of the first games controls, the first game was very comfy and easy to play. Some of the puzzles were genuinely confusing sometimes. Acquiring fuel was also more tedious in this game as the new …

neutral · AI labelView post →I think what I enjoy most about The FAR games is that they do something which I don't think most games do well anymore. I've been playing computer games now for over 37 years and the one thing that always makes me enjoy a game and remember them, is how much wonder they stir in me. These games have such distinct moments of wonder in them, they really are in a class all their own. For the price, they are beyond worth it, but speaking as someone that likes how certain games can introduce you to…

neutral · AI labelView post →. No other words are as boring as meditative. The first game was alright because it was rather short. This game had so much dead air that I had no idea what to do. The screen was just moving right, and there was literally nothing to do, nothing special to look at. About 50% of the game is dead air.

neutral · AI labelView post →Although I really wanna like this game, it's just a disappointment compared to the first game. In the first game you had more time to appreciate the environment. But here it's idk harder and more resource management. I mean, it's not bad, just not as good as the first game, and sometimes the game was really tedious, and I just was hoping to get this done quickly.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish there was a "meh" option. It was cool, and I really liked the first one. It doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from the first one, and has less cool things happen. There are some cool moments, but nothing as cool as "the moment" from the first game. If you really liked the first one I guess I'd recommend it, but don't expect anything mind-blowing. 6-7/10

You are correct, that consumer wise, this would be a very efficent and ideal product for commuters.

The second game felt more challenging than the first one. The puzzles became harder, while the first game had easier and more enjoyable puzzles. About the story, the ending connects well with the first game, which was nice. But during most of the game, I didn't feel there was much story compared to the first one. I still enjoyed…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve played the previous game, as well as another title from the studio, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed, and this game does not disappoint. It’s similar to many cozy adventure games, comparable to Journey, so don’t expect an action-packed experience. This is something you’ll enjoy if you’re looking for a relaxing game with minimal puzzles. I liked how they tied the game back to the first one toward the end, and I’m looking forward to seeing more from the studio. For players thinking about…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a lovely, relaxing, casual game, best enjoyed for the gentle pleasures of sailing the seas at your own pace in a steampunk-esque vessel to visit parts unknown. Although there's little story to speak of, the joy of the game is in learning how to work your vessel and then simply sailing/motoring it along. I think it's left to the player to 'fill in the gaps' of the story themselves when they're gliding along out at sea. I think the game's strength lies in it's depiction of the sea: your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend playing the first version of this game first and then playing this version because the entire ending of the game depends on the first version. If you don't play it, you will be a little confused. But apart from that, the story, music and concepts of the game were amazing. And if I were to talk about the game, you will be in the role of a character who is trying to survive in a drowned world and you will face many puzzles and ups and downs along the way. Overall, I highly recommend…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Far series is one of the best atmospheric puzzle adventure games on the market. I dare say that it qualifies as a masterpiece, but one thing that holds it back are the controls. They're a bit clunky, but nothing game breaking. It's just a little annoying trying to pick up some items, and having to press the x button to push a switch. Rather than holding x, the game requires you to press x and then press it again when you're done pushing the switch. This causes a lot of unnecessary…
