    A art piece using videogames as it's canvas to express atmosphere and convey a sense of loneliness in a apocalyptic setting. It's all intended to be left to be interpretation like any good art piece is.

    Nothings too difficult, takes too long to figure out. Once you get the basics down it's barely a puzzle as what you're supposed to do is bright red.

    I liked it, it was cozy, pretty, reminded me a lot of the magic of what I felt playing a game like Journey. Still felt like it was missing something though, maybe something more climactic or more emotionally impactful. It all was just tame and lonely.

    Its also very short, which is fine, you don't need a long game to show off an art piece. Maybe wish it was more challenging though or had puzzles. The atmosphere was bleak and well expressed but kinda wished for more then that too.
    Still recommend it.    … Expand

    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.

    More meditative than contemplative, FAR: Changing Tides is an invitation to tranquility, so assertive that it sometimes becomes sluggish. Between the long crossings, moments of grace maintain the interest of the experience, translated by intuitive puzzles and sound design at its peak.

    A suggestive (but a little too quiet) sequel that follows the path of Far: Lone Sails' unique appeal and stretches its simple gameplay mechanics.
