Faraway 4: Ancient Escape Apk

5 ★Love this series, great atmosphere, the sound design, music and art style are fantastic. Puzzles are not too difficult that you need to break out pen and paper, but hard enough to make you need to rethink your approach a lot. another great entry to a fantastic series, can't wait for part 5.

4 ★Although I loved the puzzles, it was very hard to distinguish certain colors and textures in the game. If you were color blind it would be very difficult to see certain puzzles. Some secret puzzles were not obvious but I recommend that it would be best to be a bit more clear since some puzzles exhibit the same characteristics. However, it was very good overall.

4 ★This game was entertaining and helped pass the time. Pretty much like every other escape game that I've played though. Except for one thing - the option to be able to take pictures in game, of the game. This is a feature I've not seen in other escapes games and I really liked it. Could have been a bit more challenging, but it did seem to get harder as I progressed. It was fun to play, but I will not be purchasing the full game.

5 ★Too short but beautiful. Lovers of Myst may appreciate the beauty & atmosphere. The puzzles are a little too easy and too few in number. Sometimes I'd solved the puzzle before noticing the pattern because it was too simple. On the other hand it isn't frustrating! I paid for the extension because I appreciated the effort put into this elegant game but I'm unlikely to spend on the others in the series as they're not quite enough for me. Thank you for an enjoyable few hours in a beautiful place.

2 ★I found this a step backwards after the 3rd game. I also found some aspects of it so annoying that I'm not going to bother with any more Faraway games or any more games from this company. The Faraway games are all pleasant and relaxing but not very challenging. They are better than the average puzzle/escape game on Google Play but nowhere near the challenge of The Room series or even "The House of Da Vinci". There's a slow ramp up in difficulty which is good at teaching how the puzzles generally work, but even the puzzles are not very hard - if you have both a good memory and a good feeling for topology. The side challenges (finding al the notes) can be fun but many are trivial and some are so stupid (and poorly signalled by the clue) that they are infuriating. Without giving away spoilers, finding the third note depends on you having solved the main puzzle; sometimes the visual clue you then receive is intriguing and satisfying, sometimes it is very simple, sometimes it is infuriatingly obtuse and requires a very stupid sequence of actions that may have to be tried in various random combinations before you succeed. I found the atmosphere of this one a disappointment after the building tension of games 2 or 3. The denouement does provide a link back to game 3 but for me that wasn't enough to compensate for a largely boring game. As with the previous 3, I found it didn't take too long to complete the main game, so I went on to complete all the side puzzles. As with those, I found I got most of them in a short time and was left with a handful of levels where the 3rd note was tough to find. And then, when I actually worked out the solution to level 6 through sheer persistence, I was so outraged by the pointless stupidity of it that I nearly throw my phone at the wall. I pursued the other three games to completion but after the sheer dumbness of the level 6 3rd note, I just uninstalled the game. I'm never going to waste my time on another game from this company. They are relaxing but rarely challenging and the few challenges are often unsatisfying. I will not waste another second on challenges as pointlessly stupid as some of the ones I found in this particular game. These were the best games I've seen from them (I tried their spy puzzle game and it was so trivial it was embarrassing). No more.

5 ★Great addition to a fine series. Challenging, yet intuitive puzzles become more intricate as you progress. Finding all the Notes can be difficult, but they only add flavor, so you can decide how much effort you want to put into locating every one of them.

3 ★It has nice graphics, and the notes are fun to read. But overall the puzzles are way too easy. I've already beaten the game, and it took me less than an hour. No walkthroughs. And the fact you have to pay for the last levels, which it only gives you two pages of 3 levels is just ridiculous.

3 ★Amazing and cool game with lots of puzzles to scratch u r mind on.....but another r 2 stars missing because I thought this game will be free of cost with some ads it it....but later after the lighthouse level it asked for money......due to which I had the sad feeling tht I won't be able to play this anymore. Hopefully this game upto a certain level made be satisfied.

4 ★It's frustrating how much the perspective character blows by/refuses to examine, give the movement through scenes & the exploratory air (& I can never find the 3rd note teased at in each scene). I don't know if the story is so confusing bc I haven't bought the full games, but it's almost a distraction. But for all that, the levels are fun & have engaging puzzle-solving. There are repeated elements across the games, but each one introduces new applications that expands the game mechanics.

2 ★Loved the game but there's a catch! So the game is nice, a actually it's not as hard as I would've wanted it to be. Not bad graphics and you can play for FREE until lvl 9 after that you have the option to purchase the full game that is says it contains 9 more lvls for $2.99.

5 ★I seriously LOVE these Faraway games. They're challenging, not easy, but not extremely hard. And the story from the notes is interesting. I always wish I had the extra cash to get the rest of the levels. 10/10 would recommend.

4 ★This was kind of hard and I really had to use my brain for some of it. Still a good challenge and also a good reminder of why I enjoy these games so much. Also, I was able to find one of the three leaves that go on the portal on the start page. I was wondering how to get the other two. Also was wondering if anyone has completed this with all achievements. I would like to do that myself.
