    Really nice sequel that ties it all together. Just like the first one this one is a relaxing little adventure with beautiful music and dreamy atmosphere. I recomend to play the first one before you pick this up tho if you want the fully experience.

    FAR: Changing Tides is sequel to the first game FAR: Lone Sails. It was very atmospheric puzzle game, which I reviewed and gave score of 5/5. Is the sequel any better?

    TO THE SEAS
    FAR: Changing Tides is very much like the first game; player has to maneuver the ship across the sea and do puzzles to open blocked pathways. The ship gets new upgrades along the way so it can go even underwater this time. I found the gameplay being very simple and after learning how the ship is controlled it became easy to sail. The ship can be powered by the sails or burning materials found in the bottom of the sea. There is a sonar scanner that shows when there’s materials in the bottom, making it easy to collect them.

    Graphically the game looks almost the same than the first one, its very simple and clean. Overall gameplay and controls are easy, nothing special to mention.

    THE VERDICT
    FAR: Changing Tides is nice little puzzle-adventure game, that is about 2-3 hours long. It’s relaxing and easy going, just perfect size to play through one sitting. It implement new things such as the submarine, making the gameplay new and interesting.    … Expand

    "Far" has a lot in common with games like Journey and Inside. Most of the time is spent pushing your ship forward by controlling the sails or feeding the furnace of your ship's engine, as well as maintaining other aspects of your maritime life. Sometimes you pop out of your ship to solve some puzzle that is keeping you from progressing.

    It's a beautiful voyage across a desolate ocean, interspersed with contemplative moments like coming across a swarm of luminescent jellyfish. I love love LOVE games where there is no talking, and the gameplay speaks for itself.    … Expand

    Easy puzzle and platforming gameplay with beautiful visuals and music. I think the ship is a little cumbersome to operate which does take away a bit for the gameplay; It makes it hard to appreciate the the sights and sounds when you’re fumbling with this mechanical monstrosity. Overall a very fun game though with a charming wordless story.

    That 6 user rating below makes no sense and needs to be removed. This game rocks and more need to be made like it.

    非常棒的游戏，叙事节奏，美术风格，音乐。没有言语胜过千言万语，或许穿越千山万水，只是为了遇见你的那种感觉，表达的如此诗意。当然游戏并不完美，但在2022里已经算是难得的好作品了。

    A beautiful, “zen” 2D sea journey with clever puzzles and a captivating atmosphere. This is what indie and video games in general should be like.

    A meditative journey through a desolate world, this vehicular adventure celebrates your ability to persevere. Make sure you're along for the ride for this one. [Issue#13, p.94]

    As someone who usually doesn't enjoy meditative gaming experiences, I must admit that FAR: Changing Tides completely captivated me.
