    Gameplay is better than in its predecessor. The story and the new companions are better.
    But the graphic is cruel. On the Series S it is a torture for the eyes.
    Also, the game is in duration tough and I was bored too fast.

    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

    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.

    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.

    FAR: Changing Tides ably evokes the blissful passion of travel. It is the perfect antidote to overly-stuffed, bloated video games.
