Faraway 3

I’m posting this on all three “Faraway” game reviews. These were THE most challenging and unbelievable games, I have ever played in iOS history. I am absolutely devastated that I just now finished the third one. I’m not sure what to do. PLEASE...whomever is the brains behind this just HAS to come out with a fourth! ...developers...can you shed any light on if there is a future for another one? I’m sorry to report that in my opinion, none of the other games even compare to these. While the graphics may be more advanced on the more recent games, the simplicity yet complexity of the first three cannot be surpassed. I bet you for more!

This is truly a fantastic game. The graphics are beautiful, the puzzles are challenging but not so difficult that you get stuck for more than a couple minutes. However, since I was so enamored with the free trial that I purchased the full version, I was disappointed when the game abruptly ended. All of a sudden I was going from level to level, finding cryptic and exciting messages along the way, when I got a message that I had finished the game. I was so sad! I wanted the story to continue!! ESPECIALLY since I spent money on it. I guess what I’m saying is that this really is a great game, but if you decide to purchase the full version, don’t be surprised when you all of a sudden beat the entire game without warning.

Now that I was able to finish the game after a bug in level 18 was fixed I can update this from my previous 1-Star review. Overall it’s an excellent puzzler.... with some minor issues. There’s a bit of a strange inconsistency with puzzle difficulty. Puzzles earlier in the game were sometimes harder than later levels, and the last level’s puzzles were shockingly easy (although appreciated to check out both possible endings). More importantly (and this is a complaint in the series), if a puzzle is completed and there’s nothing more to do, it would be nice after a cut scene if the game would back-step out a level automatically. But these are minor nitpicks.... overall good job!
