While Lone Sails wasn\u2019t nearly as dark or brooding as those other titles, it set a striking tone as the players navigated a giant land sled across a desolate post-apocalyptic landscape, all the while looking for a new home. Far: Changing Tides is \u2013 in many ways \u2013 more of the same, but that isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/far-changing-tides\/call-of-the-sea\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instead of piloting a vehicle over land, Changing Tides puts you at the helm of an oversized boat. The mechanics of this ship are complex enough to be engaging without feeling overbearing. I enjoyed hoisting the sails and moving the mast to catch the wind or shoveling fuel into my engine to give my vehicle a nice push across the water. Along the way, you find ship upgrades, such as a chain to hoist up sunken treasure or an overcharger that grants short-lived but thrilling speed boosts. I couldn\u2019t wait to uncover my next upgrade and see how it changed the way I navigated these freezing waters.<\/p>\n<p>You encounter various roadblocks during this journey and are often forced to abandon your ship to solve environmental puzzles. These moments are rarely taxing, but I enjoyed stretching my legs to power up a rusted windmill, study the inner workings of a rotted locomotive, or dive for secrets on the ocean floor. Much like Lone Sails, Changing Tides doesn\u2019t bother you with tooltips or gameplay explainers; instead, you learn about this world and how everything works through trial and error. Occasionally, I scratched my head at what looked like a dead-end, but after tinkering with the environment for a few minutes, I was always able to find what felt like a well-earned solution.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/far-changing-tides\/call-of-the-sea\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to view embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Between puzzle breaks, you experience long stretches where you watch the scenery zip by. These sequences reminded me of the best moments of a long car ride, where you soak in nature\u2019s beauty. It helps that Far: Changing Tides is full of striking vistas and backed by a moody, often-wistful score.<\/p>\n<p>Far: Changing Tides isn\u2019t an action-packed roller coaster ride \u2013 it\u2019s a contemplative journey that isn\u2019t afraid to slow down and ask you to reflect on your expedition. Of course, this adventure is full of challenges to overcome. But whether I was watching the clouds glide over a flooded city with the wind at my back or white-knuckling through a storm as ten-foot waves bombarded my ship, I was always completely enrapt by the moment. It\u2019s a journey I hope to take again someday.<\/p>\n<h2>Score: 8.25<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/scoring\">About Game Informer&#8217;s review system<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/node\/114576?purchasefromrss\">Purchase<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/far-changing-tides\/call-of-the-sea\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviewed on: PlayStation 5 Also on: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC Publisher: Frontier Foundry Developer: Okomotive Release: March 1, 2022 Rating: Everyone Every adventure is a journey of some sort, but we are often so consumed with the destination we sometimes forget to enjoy the ride.
