Played Far Sky a bit more last night, and finding it hard to bother starting it up again, there are several game mechanics that really started to bug me.įish/hunger. Here’s the swimming game you might want to keep an eye on : I’d put it in the ‘maybe I’ll buy it for 5 bucks’. At first glance, for me, it seems like something that isn’t going to hook me in the way minecraft did, there really isn’t that same sense of ‘I can do anything’. The game may open up the longer you play, I’ll check back when I have more time into it. The environment you start out in is pleasant enough, but nothing particularly spectacular. In many ways this reminds me of “Miner Dig Deep” on Xbox, at least in terms of resource. In the case of more rare things, there are pockets of them that disappear as you mine them. So far there hasn’t been any world changing ala Minecraft, when you mine things they mostly just release chips off that you pick up. There appears to be some sort of vehicle/hand held that you can use for propulsion, this may change things. Very weird design choice and feels a bit amateurish in execution. One of the things I was really looking forward to, was the feeling of swimming around.

It’s a very off-putting mechanic, at least it is for me.

You are essentially walking on the bottom, and can do a series of 3 (if I remember) jumps that semi keep you in the air for a bit. The “swimming” is very weird…well, that’s a bit misleading, as there is no swimming.

Well…bought this, and played around with it a little bit, a couple of thoughts.
