    "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.

    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.

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