Like its predecessor, you’ll spend much of Changing Tides trying to maintain an oversized piece of junk that serves as your vehicle, gradually adding new parts as you pass through obstacles along the way. Only this time it’s set entirely in water, which adds some cool new elements to traversal that keep it from feeling too similar.

That said, I think its somewhat bigger scope (particularly with having more of the ship to keep up with) was a detriment since it felt a bit more tedious to play through for me. And the ride between obstacles can be pretty lengthy, but the scenery and music were still pleasant to sit through. Wouldn’t say I liked it a lot less than Lone Sails, but it’s not really an improvement either.
