Never have I had so many mixed feelings about a game. It's fun. It's impossible. Imagine a roguelike game in which you die a lot but never actually get stronger. The game relies heavily on RNG that is outright terrible at times, like sticking you in a halt with zero wood and giving you the goal of gathering 500 wood. Or giving you a pupil with the cooking specialty, but then giving them a trait that forbids them from cooking. The "campaign" is a brief tutorial that doesn't teach much, and a lot of things are left unexplained. There are lots of ways to put points into things to make your life easier, but none of this is discussed in the tutorial, and the margin of error is such that you don't have time to experiment and figure stuff out. When I got to the last tribe I kept dying of hunger despite having lots of food. Took me several runs to realize I was dying from lack of wool. The main game would really benefit from a sliding difficulty scale or the ability to add more difficulty modifiers (you can do this in a custom game, just not standard). And yet, I keep playing. I'm not even frustrated. I can't say why. Maybe because the music and tone are relaxing? It's harder than Frostpunk and yet I feel no tension, not even when I'm about to lose. Is it worth it? I think so. Just know what you're getting into and don't expect updates. The game doesn't appear very popular and I was able to find plenty of comments complaining about many of these issues back when it was released. I doubt the RNG will get fixed.

a prewarning now: this game is intentionally difficult, there are definetly strategies and ways to succeed, but it will take many tries to, and despite the tutorial, there is minimal guidance on how to win this game is a true roguelike in which to say, you win by dying if you do not enjoy difficult games or roguelikes, i would not recommend this game however, if you want to try a roguelike with an interesting twist, i would highly recommend this game as far as the eye mixed ecological concepts and environmentalism with the reality of survival as a tribe you must balance caring for the land (both spiritually and physically), or decide to decimate the world, but expect consequences it relies on time and resource management, as every turn the clock gets closer and closer to the end of your people i would prefer more information on what the traits themselves are in-game, but ultimately overall it is a well made and interesting game, which utilises its premise against the player (in a good way)

Absolutely beautiful art style that does not give away the punishing gameplay. In As Far As The Eye, you play as the wind, guiding a nomadic tribe to safe land. I very much enjoy the different take on the resource-management genre, with the journey broken up into multiple halts and obstacles. The short-term goal is simply to make it to the next halt before the step counter runs out and the flood arrives. The non-combative gameplay focuses on harvesting different resources instead, and actually provides a decent goal-oriented focus within which to use them. Since each halt is procedurally generated, with varying amounts of ressources available, planning the journey ahead is essential for a realistic chance of making it to The Eye. Resources must be carefully managed, since they are simultaneously needed for the journey and the progression of the tribe per halt. At the beginning, I often struggled with rations and faced starvation among my Pupils. Only after many hours spent figuring out the mechanics, the gameplay finally started to feel fair. The challenge lies clearly in the fact that mistakes can’t be undone, with the single save file being overridden every turn. Overall, I enjoy the simplicity of the gameplay, setting up camp over and over again, strategically placing buildings, and managing resources. The task-based progression of the tribe fosters a sense of attachment to the success of the Pupils. And I particularly love seeing them shapeshift into animal spirits based on their assigned trades. Although limited, the lore of As Far As The Eye fits seamlessly with the gameplay mechanics. This even makes me appreciate that excess resources gathered and left behind count against the final score, since the Pupils live in harmony with nature.

6.5/10 - Decent Buy on sale. Worth the campaign and a run or two. I can't remember how much I paid for it but about $10 CAD feels reasonable. Really cute game. Pretty decent challenge and strategy. Satisfying to play once you learn. Tip: 1. Start training a druid early. 2. If you can't find your pupils, look for their balloons. If I had anything interesting to say, it would be that the bottlenecks between halts serve to really narrow my focus. I'm not talking about the requirements to reach a halt, I'm talking about the inventory bottlenecks to reach it. I found myself caring less and less about my pupils, their really cool skill trees, and what capabilities I could unlock, because I would likely need to throw away resources anyway to make room for food and the one mobile building I threw together. It's really hard to get extraction up and running without a good supply of food for the beginning of each halt. But the amount of food that requires takes up most of your caravan's inventory, making it hard to build anything right out of the gate. If I could change one small thing that would make the game significantly better, it would be to double the amount of food per stack in the caravan's inventory. That would open up way more possibilities for interesting choices per run on what buildings to make mobile and what resources to take with you.

A well-implemented rogue-like strategy game (which seems somewhat rare). Interesting combination of cute and meditative vibes while your workers die of disease or starvation.
