“The first game, Lone Sails, is one of my favorite games ever made. This sequel builds on a lot of stuff super well! The first game is still my favorite between the two though for a few reasons, but I'll get to that. One…”
“This sequel does a good job of expanding upon the format of the first game. The submarine ship was interesting to navigate. The new environments are beautiful and the game as a whole creates a sense of progression like…”
“Wonderful game. Not much to it, more of a walking simulator, but very engrossing. Wish they would have dropped the horrible copy protection though.”

“Bigger, calmer, slower and longer than the first one. Just start it up, put on headphones and enjoy the excellent OST and chill vibes this game projects.”

“The second better longer game of the series, though I liked the first one quite a lot. 10/10 OST and visuals <3”

“In every aspect a successful sequel to the first game FAR: Lone Sails. Wonderful music, great atmosphere and just the right amount of busywork to keep things going. Some very suprising moments and a wonderful ending. A…”

“Stunning Art Style: The game features a breathtaking "hand-painted" aesthetic that makes every ruined cityscape and vast ocean feel like a piece of art. Immersive Sound Design: The soundtrack is reactive; it swells and…”

“Although I really wanna like this game, it's just a disappointment compared to the first game. In the first game you had more time to appreciate the environment. But here it's idk harder and more resource management. I…”
“This is the indie game equivalent to Half Life: “On A Rail” If I go in expecting a cute little game but instead find myself frustrated, annoyed by how the game’s bad “language” made it into a terrible resource…”
“[Meh]. No other words are as boring as meditative. The first game was alright because it was rather short. This game had so much dead air that I had no idea what to do. The screen was just moving right, and there was…”

“Go in blind after playing the first one. Great sequel. Ending actually surprised me. Only gripe was with not being able to see the radar while controlling the sails. Hoping this turns into a trilogy.”

“Far: Lone Sails was phenomenal and set a very high bar. Unfortunately, Far: Changing Tides doesn’t quite reach the same level for me. Some of the design choices feel unnecessarily frustrating. For example, many ladders…”

“This game was a bit of a letdown; but since I got it for next to nothing on a sale, I can't bare to give it a thumbs down. Game is ok, but no where nearly as good as the 1st one. Ship is too big, so it's hard to enjoy…”

“I thought I wanted another FAR game after this, but, after the ending, I'm happy with it. It builds on the previous, which is great. However, I would've appreciated if it was a bit shorter. If you liked the first one,…”
“Longer than the first one but a bit bit short still imo. However it's also Amazing! Highly recommended!”
“Too long for the story and m3chsnics. Too much uninteresting floating time”

“I wish there was a "meh" option. It was cool, and I really liked the first one. It doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from the first one, and has less cool things happen. There are some cool moments, but nothing as cool as "the moment" from the first game. If you really…”

To place or grab an item using space and e/enter ws not easy for my fingers. I advice people with clumsy fingers using…”
