    An adorable resource management game featuring poncho-wearing creatures that hold balloons. A strategy game of optimisation where every decision matters and where every decision is interesting. A surprise gem!

    I can’t believe how much I am gushing over this game. It looks like a simple and relaxing city builder at its surface, but there is so much more to it. Even with its deep skill trees and challenges, I found the game incredibly relaxing. Listening to the whispers of the wind and the dulcet strumming of an acoustic guitar as I guided my pupils to The Eye was a memorable experience. From the beginning to the end of any given run, the pupils would gain personalities in ways that made them feel more alive. I cared about the pupils in this game, I felt connected to the atmosphere and settlements it offers. This, paired with a great blending of theme and mechanic, make this a truly unique game.

    As Far As The Eye is a charming rogue-like resource-management game which brings the player into a truly relaxing atmosphere, despite its strong strategic system.

    As Far As The Eye is an interesting title, but it feels more artistic than functional. It is a perfectly serviceable game and it has lovely production values, but this is not the kind of title you look to for depth or range. On the other hand, if you want a specific, focused peaceful survival experience about tribes making their way to a safe place and don’t mind this being more of a puzzle than a proper strategy game, definitely give this little indie title a try.

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 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 »
