    You're in charge of taking care of your ship, so you drive it, cool it, repair it and figure out how to progress together. As a reward, it will take you through a beautiful environment to somewhere far over the horizon where you might find a new home. As well as the perfectly crafted splash of waves, the sound of the wind and the creaking of the remnants of civilization, there's some amazing music to accompany your journey through the silent world.

    At the end of a trip it is normal to wonder if it was worth it or not. The answer is yes, with a more than adequate duration so that it doesn't become repetitive, an entertaining game dynamic and the whole sea world to think about yourself, FAR: Changing Tides is an easily recommended adventure for any type of player.

    FAR: Changing Tides is a real triumph. There's a phenomenal depth to the experience here, from its striking ambiance through to a compelling gameplay loop, while the sense of exploration is truly remarkable. Fans of FAR: Lone Sails will no doubt love this, but those who have not played the first game should not shy away from this one.

    FAR: Changing Tides is a game that needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated. Filled with wonder, challenge and discovery, this is a game that rewards attention while keeping the gameplay fun and peaceful. If you are a fan of indie games that try and push the bar on what is possible, you owe yourself a service to give FAR: Changing Tides a shot.

    Far: Changing Tides follows the same idea of Far: Lone Sails, an adventure that will grip you from the first moment, whose art will blow you away and that. Unfortunately. It's too short.

    Game length is about right and although there is very little narrative, the story does come full circle and has a satisfying conclusion. If you are looking for a chilled-out, unusual puzzle-solving game I heartily recommend this one.

    Despite its shortcomings, FAR: Changing Tides is stunning and is an atmospheric triumph. I loved the developer’s vision for a doomed future, and the array of environments you explore.

    Because Far: Changing Tides is an indie game, you must not spect excellent graphics, intense music, or very complex history.

    What you will find is an elegant and entertaining game. The story can be simple, but the atmosphere will introduce you deeply to the feelings of the protagonist and his intense adventure to find other survivors of the flood. Other games with huge budgets but boring histories and large cinematic never accomplish this challenge.

    I enjoyed the relationship that the protagonist has with his ship. He is entirely alone, but they need to take care of the needs of his ship, creating an exciting feeling of companionship.

    I recommend this game for these types of seasonality where we are in the middle of the AAA launches at the end of the year the last year and the end of the current year.

    The cons: it is very simple (it will never be considered one of the most fantastic games of all time), and the challenges don't have enough clues to resolve them.

    I don't give a better score because, even though it is a good game, I consider that the scores of 8 or above must be for more complex games    … Expand

    Giant snoozefest with clunky controls that oftentimes fails completely at communicating what it wants the player to do. The puzzles are OK,Giant snoozefest with clunky controls that oftentimes fails completely at communicating what it wants the player to do. The puzzles are OK, but it's nothing you haven't seen done a lot better if you've played the likes of LIMBO and INSIDE.
