Ça a marché ! Au début... On sent bien maintenant que les idées de puzzle s'épuisent un peu et on sombre souvent (dans cet épisode) dans le cryptique, l'indéchiffrable. Alors que j'ai parcouru sans forcer les jeux précédents, j'ai préféré abandonner celui-ci car certaines énigmes sont vraiment trop obtuses, confuses et surtout, même après avoir consulté la solution, on ne comprend toujours pas ce qu'il fallait faire. Faraway est un bon concept, mais qui a fini par trébucher sur ses propres marches, et qui aurait certainement dû s'arrêter avant. ### 3/5 — Spiel ist wunderbar, aber ... *2025-07-20, version 1.0.3* Ich habe alle Faraway gespielt. Alle sind schön gestaltet, an manchen Stellen muss man ziemlich knobeln aber genau dass macht das Spiel interessant. Warum zwei Sterne Abzug, wenn man zum Schluss das Bonusspiel angepriesen bekommt aber im Spiel selbst nicht den Hauch einer Chance hat diesen auch zu bekommen, dann fühle ich mich betrogen. Die Spielsteuerung, die von den Entwicklern vorgegeben ist, lässt es nicht zu sich umzusehen. Wenn es dann bereits im ersten Spiel nicht möglich ist die dritte Notiz zu finden. Dann will man das auch nicht. Dafür gibt es die Abzüge. Ich bezahle lieber und will dann aber auch alle Kapitel spielen dürfen. Herausforderung JA, verarschen NEIN ! Ansonsten sehr empfehlenswert 🥰 ### 3/5 — Very Glitchy on the new iPad OS *2024-11-28, version 1.0.3* I loved this game when I first played it years ago. Lots of glitches on iPad OS 18. ### 3/5 — Level 16 *2024-06-01* On level 16 and have watched all the vids of people who have finished this game.. no matter what I do with those handlebars for that third note never pops up for me. so here I am stuck and, can get through, but I don't have the third note. I don't know if there is some twist the person leaving the video tutorial has a different set up than me? ### 5/5 — Yes *2024-05-26, version 1.0.3* It’s nice ### 5/5 — Keep making more *2024-04-04, version 1.0.3* Love these games!! ### 5/5 — Nên chơi nha *2023-09-28, version 1.0.3* Game rất hay ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-09-25, version 1.0.3* Great game ### 5/5 — Love these games *2023-04-20, version 1.0.3* These games are always my favorite, great quality ### 4/5 — 以前からの *2023-04-10, version 1.0.3* ファンです😍 移動の時、ビューーーンと行くのがいいね😊👍 難易度は今回は少し難しめかな。 でも楽しい😆 ### 5/5 — Ok *2023-03-03, version 1.0.3* Hay ### 2/5 — Doesn't work on iOS 9 *2023-02-07, version 1.0.3* All the Faraway games claim to run iOS 9, and they all work fine except this final chapter. This game loads the opening logo page and then quits. It's a shame. ### 5/5 — Hay *2022-11-23, version 1.0.3* Hay quá ### 4/5 — Would give 5 stars ⭐️. *2022-11-10, version 1.0.3* I have had got all of these games and find them very relaxing . They are good for the memory as I am in my late 80s , but I’ll be buggered when I play Galactic escape level 16 that I can never get the 3rd memo , switching the stick back and forth left to right and vice versa , I would really like some help on this THANKYOU 👍. ### 5/5 — Faraway: Galactic *2022-11-09, version 1.0.3* Excellent ### 5/5 — Love this series! *2022-09-26* I loved the music on this one. I completed all of the other apps, every puzzle, every page. This last batch of notes is so strange. I couldn’t follow it. It’s like he has slowly turned mad. I swear he turned into his wife at some point? And his daughter destroys the world? Lol I want lore behind this. I want to understand. The second pages were harder to find on this one than the other ones…sometimes harder than figuring out how to find the 3rd page. You really need to look at everything critically. Some of the puzzles were a little challenging for once. I didn’t mindlessly go through them. Please make another game. It says he ended up in 1955? I don't know if it is his madness but I think you should do an apocalyptic type of world! ### 5/5 — Farawy *2022-09-05, version 1.0.3* Love Love Love Love all the Faraway games, not too hard & not to easy, just enough to work my old brain, perfect ! ! ### 5/5 — Fantastic. *2022-07-19, version 1.0.3* Love the whole Faraway series. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 😢😢😢 *2022-09-24, version 1.0.3* Игра не загружается😕☹️ ### 1/5 — I don’t understand any of the puzzles I’m just playing the hints *2020-07-15, version 1.0.2* I don’t understand the puzzles. I’ve played all of these so far, but I just don’t get what the puzzles are looking for. And making every puzzle about numbers is difficult for those of us not naturally inclined in that area. This was not worth my money. ### 1/5 — A fuir *2020-04-26, version 1.0.1* Payer 4€ et des brouettes pour un jeu qui plante sans arrêt, ça fait cher la crise de nerfs. ### 1/5 — Faraway series *2020-04-18, version 1.0.1* This series is fantastic and I’ve bought everyone although none of them will load with the latest iOS update- such a shame and hope they can fix it ### 1/5 — 何も *2020-04-10, version 1.0.1* ロゴ画面から何も変わらない ### 1/5 — 遊べない *2020-04-05, version 1.0.1* ゲームのロゴが表示された後、ゲームが落ちてしまい遊ぶことができない。 ### 1/5 — Faraway Galactic Escape *2020-03-28, version 1.0.1* This game keeps glitching from the beginning. Have had to delete it twice now after doing a reboot twice on my device. The game won’t stay open. It keeps exiting. Don’t recommend this game to anyone ### 1/5 — bad *2019-12-07, version 1.0.1* because it’s for 3 years old ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2019-12-07, version 1.0.1* Game doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Cool *2023-08-10, version 1.0.3* 🙀🙀 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Garming *2026-04-29, version 1.0.3* Awesome ### 5/5 — 3D zooms.. *2025-11-03, version 1.0.3* I played for all of around two minutes..not even. For those of you whose stomach drops..with each move (mine did..)Then you’ll hate this…Otherwise the music, ambience was good. ### 5/5 — A quand la suite ? *2025-01-19, version 1.0.3* Vraiment cool comme série de jeux. J’aimerai bien en avoir un autre. On sent que vous mettez du cœur dans votre travail continuez comme ça. Merci à vous. ### 5/5 — おもしろい *2024-12-08, version 1.0.3* 単純にクリア出来てストレスフリー ### 5/5 — Excellently entertaining brain challenge!! *2024-11-15* This game certainly makes you think on an exponentially large level!!!! ### 5/5 — Fun little game *2024-10-27, version 1.0.3* Fun little game. As with all the faraway games keeps you thinking. I play them over and over. ### 5/5 — 다음 시즌 주세요ㅜㅜㅜ *2024-09-01* 너무 재미있게 한 게임이에요 다음 시즌만 기다리고 있어요🥲 ### 5/5 — Ok *2024-08-18, version 1.0.3* Ok ### 5/5 — 智障都覺得很好玩 請加個BGM *2024-06-30, version 1.0.3* @.@ ### 5/5 — Good game. *2024-06-02, version 1.0.3* Love the mechanics, pretty visuals. Feels like a puzzle game that someone made personally. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
