A very meditative game that relies a whole lot on it's vibe to get by. Some of it works, some of the areas you'll be exploring around while sailing will be enchanting, especially when the music hits just right.
Unfortunately, there are many times when the vibe just doesn't hit. Then you're left with a dragged out boat maintenance game that just feels tedious and boring.
Mix in a few puzzles that are fairly boring and repetitive and it's really just a shame when one of the moments that has everything come together perfectly returns and you're back to being reminded of what the game could do.
I can definitely see this whole vibe working for others though and this being a personal taste thing so I'd still say give Far: Changing Tides a shot if you're into games that are more about vibes than its gameplay. It might be enough to get over some of the lulls and tedious gameplay that just didn't click for me.
