    FAR: Changing Tides is an emotionally charged voyage that revels in the thrill of exploring the unknown, proving that the journey is more important than the destination. Painstakingly crafted and beautifully presented, this is an essential experience.

    A wonderful experience from the moment you set sail, FAR: Changing Tides builds out the world and gameplay ideas of its predecessor with scale, detail and awesome moments of discovery. Okomotive has started with its original neat mechanic about a left-to-right juggernaut, then taken it in every other direction it could go.

Probably one of the best games I have ever played. No doubt about it it is at times meditative and not action packed, but that’s exactly what I wanted. It’s the perfect mix of puzzler and just powering your ship and chilling on the ocean as you set sail and fuel your ship. I felt compelled to write this review after seeing IGNs review stating they’d done worse with this release than the first game. I played both back to back and I couldn’t disagree more. The first game was good but a little too short and I was a little frustrated to find out you never even set sail. But this game is ample long enough and truly immersive. Solid work from Okomotive, can’t wait for the next release!… Full Review »

    More of the same concept as its predecessor?
    Not quite. First in the sequel you don't travel in some sort of locomotion on the ground but in    More of the same concept as its predecessor?
    Not quite. First in the sequel you don't travel in some sort of locomotion on the ground but in an aquatic vehicle, then its considerably longer and it offers a greater variety of mechanics to progress. I don't want to go further into details not to spoil those who enjoyed the first game but haven't played the second yet.
    In the end this game is again a journey through a post-apocalyptic world which is worth to be done mainly due its calm atmosphere which is supported by its hand drawn graphics and minimalistic soundtrack played with real instruments.
    This game was even more pleasant than the original FAR, the latter which has been a beautiful experience nonetheless.    … Full Review »
