✦ AI summary

Players praise Faraway: Puzzle Escape as a fun and relaxing puzzle experience with creative, varied puzzles and nostalgic appeal at its low price point. However, complaints center on the mobile-to-PC port being unpolished, with some later puzzles lacking clear logic or matching clues to solutions, occasionally forcing players to use guides to progress rather than solving through reasoning alone.

Worked way better as a mobile game, but still a fun puzzle

Although it's unpolished at points, Faraway: Puzzle Escape is still an entertaining and relaxing experience. Gaining new degrees of motion from the original, the puzzles translate well into the more open movement style. The puzzles are creative, easy to follow and unique, but janky at a few points. The game is overall an amazing dose of nostalgia.

I was prepared to give this a positive rating up until around the 2/3 mark, but the abrupt 'ending' of the story and the obtuseness of some of the later puzzles -- a couple, it felt like the clues did not match the solution -- means I have to give this a thumbs down. I feel bad about doing it given the extremely low price I bought it for, but here we are.

Potential yet there are so many things wrong. Thought I was not understanding the puzzles properly, then turns out some puzzles actually don't make sense and its a random code and not a puzzle (likely because of phone game port issues) with one level "line" serving no purpose adding to the confusion of solutions, in addition to making the game lasers "too fast" making level 17 quite the challenge. A fun simple puzzle game this is not as you will need to look up a guide for some segments, not because of a skill issue but due to there being no logic.

Hours of game play, tricky puzzles that keep you on your toes and a great variety. The story line is intriguing as well, I recommend it and am looking forward to playing the sequels!
