    As Far As The Eye doesn’t only look nice, it also plays quite well. And it is hard! It demands a lot from the player und to get better, on really has to learn the ins and outs of the game. Too often, however, success comes down to luck, whch is a shame and makes some moments frustrating.

    As Far As The Eye is a fun little turn-based, strategy game set in a vibrant world full of adorable creatures. Whilst there's a lot to learn and manage, this quickly becomes a rewarding and satisfying experience.

    The nomadic lifestyle translates into an interesting take on the resource and management genre, that is more interesting for its ideas than its execution. However, those who fancy a more contemplative slow going game will find solid goal-oriented challenges in this journey back to the source.

    A charming, but not well-thought-out game. If you’re not ready to travel like a grain of sand on the wind, it’s best to avoid it for now.

    Issues aside of UI problems such as losing villagers, hard to click, and so on, the general pace of As Far As The Eye belie its "relaxing" appearance. Requiring a very strict, lucky, and strategic play from the beginning knocks a lot of the fun off. With how much dedication there is simply to food and not starving, it leaves little room for exploration, trying new things, or really anything beyond a narrow strategy. It is not that the difficulty ruins the game, it is that the difficulty and luck swings require such a narrow avenue to take, getting in the way of fun.

    While turning off frustrating features is a blunter solution than seeing them integrated into a better-balanced game, As Far As The Eye has a grounding in something really beautiful. I look forward to the opportunity to experience the game I saw parts of underneath its less well-implemented elements. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the one I got to review.

The game proved false. The stylistics, mechanics, sounds in the game, the musical arrangement are all very immersive in the world of the game.
    Only the most positive impressions.
    The only pity is that few game hours are required to complete the game.
    The system of studying and pumping units was very surprising.
    I look forward to continuing, I hope DLS wakes up.    … Full Review »

They said, "It feels like all of us are working onI was at a coffee shop the other day and overheard one of the devs talking about this game. They said, "It feels like all of us are working on the visuals - do you think we should have someone focus on the gameplay? And also one of us should spend an afternoon ironing out this mess of a 'story' we've built. You know, so there's some cohesion between the many disparate elements of this game. I worry that people will be hooked by the pretty visuals, but as soon as they try the game for even a few minutes they'll realize it plays like garbage, and then they'll go to metacritic and give it a well-deserved 0/10 review because we're selling it as a game and not a visual novel with a poorly-communicated story."… Full Review »

I too can go simply by the trailers and score, let's say 6 for balance.… Full Review »
