Singlehandedly manage a steampunk sailboat in this ramshackle but glorious anti-open world game<\/p>\n

Far: Changing Tides melds Mario with Cormac McCarthy and a touch of nautical engineering. Human civilisation lies in ruins, and you are a child journeying to the other end of it. You can\u2019t do this on foot, however. As in Okomotive\u2019s previous Far: Lone Sails, the star is actually your vehicle \u2013 a rattling origami hybrid of sailboat and first world war tank. Scurry inside, and the hull lifts away dollhouse-style to reveal a warren of buttons and boilers. This isn\u2019t the fantasy of uninhibited traversal offered by car-based apocalypses such as Mad Max: you don\u2019t so much drive the craft as maintain it while it plots its own course rightward through flooded cities and glacial seas.<\/p>\n

Changing Tides is a game of three moods. First, the satisfying rhythms of ship management \u2013 stowing fuel and pumping the bellows while hosing down the overheating engine, or angling pop-out sails to catch the wind. Second, the mild thrill of exploration outside, whether scouting for fuel or to clear the path by, say, operating a crane. And third, the reflective interludes when things are humming along nicely and you have a moment to watch the horizons pass.<\/p>\n

Far: Changing Tides is out now; \u00a314.99<\/p>\n
