    All-in-all, FAR Changing Tides does all the right things you want from a sequel. It makes visible improvements over the first game, while also not overshadowing what that game did brilliantly. On the other hand, those who couldn’t get on with the original’s micromanagement aspects won’t find it to be anymore lenient.

    FAR: Changing Tides has no enemies, leveling, or missions. It's just a beautiful game. It has only you, nature and the ship, which will take almost all of your attention. Well, there are obstacles to overcome. It is ideal for those who like to relax while watching the beautiful views. And for those who spend hours in the garage trying to start their car.

    A beautiful new contemplative adventure from Okomotive with intuitive gameplay and gorgeous environments.

    Games like Inside set the bar very, very high for side-scrolling narrative art games and I’ll give credit to FAR for trying but, ultimately, there’s more art than substance here. You’ll have a good relaxing time playing it but don’t expect a tour de force. Expect a casual cruise, not an epic voyage.

    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.

    Far: Changing Tides didn’t offer up enough puzzles for my liking, but don’t let that get in your way if you’re looking for a game that gives you time to unwind. It could do with more interactive elements, but Far: Changing Tides uses beautiful set design and a touching score to capture a precious sense of hope in a drowned world.

I really liked the first game, but this one was amazing. The soundtrack and art were just surreal and made the experience completely worth the trip. The ship is really cool to use and i'm glad that there is more control over the vehicle than the first one, however it's a bit hard to keep track of everything. While this game is not for everyone, I personally had fun from start to finish.… Expand

    FAR: Changing tides, compared to its previous entry, increases in complexity through adding more components to manage on your ship. While thisFAR: Changing tides, compared to its previous entry, increases in complexity through adding more components to manage on your ship. While this makes the game more engaging, the atmosphere of the game suffers slightly. I only say slightly, as there were many instances where the game would allow you to put your sail up, and enjoy the scenery after a session of puzzling. This is accompanied by an unforgettable soundtrack, that you would be humming even after you put down the controller.
    Overall, I recommend this game if you have an afternoon to spare. The game is 4 hours in run time, and, although it is on the more expensive side, it is a solid experience.    … Expand

    It's okay, pretty much like the first part.
    I wish they added more complex mechanics or a story or movement in more directions, but the boat is cool
