3 stars seems a little unfair
I really liked some aspects of the game, but ultimately I feel it was just ok. The world and music and general tone of the game are all really stellar. I was ready to fall in love with it in the first couple of hours. But the actual gameplay loop became very uninteresting. I was hoping/expecting it would turn into a resource puzzle as you sailed your landship across the dried-up seas, needing to be more efficient and mindful about the fuel you consume and utilizing the environment as resources became more and more scarce. Instead it becomes: sail for a while never having to worry about fuel or resources ever; get stopped by some obstacle; figure out the puzzle to remove the obstacle; repeat. This isn't bad per se, it just isn't much of a game. The puzzles are trivial enough most of the time that they become elongated "press x to continue" segments. However, I think for what the game is, they are the right level of difficulty as being more difficult wouldn't have made the game better, just more frustrating. As it is, I did not find the game of solving checkpoint puzzles to be compelling or rewarding. The best parts of the game are when you are just cruising along, watching the world go by, which never seem to last long enough. The game itself is also a short stay. but I don't think that is necessarily a negative. For what it is, the game's length seems appropriately succinct. That said I'm glad I don't regret playing it. I just wish it could have been a little bit more engaging as a game, in addition to being an engaging visual and aural experience.
