Good 2D survival/crafting game.Controls well and has good mechanics.Fun to play.Main thing missing is content.Maybe some kind of back story as well as current story and things that hamper surviving would make it better. Things like animals or some mobs that you have to fight/avoid or just watch out for would add a lot. This could lead to more reason to have variety of weapons and a leveling up of weapons.This really is a fun game in early access which I totally forgot to mention....until now.Price is not very much at all now......with proper good additions current price will be a steal. Developer is dedicated and wanting feedback to help advance their game.....which is usually a good sign for a early access game in my experience. So overall I am not a professional game reviewer but I do know if I like playing a game or not and a few things I personally would like to see in a game,so I like playing Faraway Islands and recommend it to all. I see it getting better with a little love.
Edit:3/05/2022- A complete story has been added along with lots of new content.It is a very fun casual story driven survival game that is worth more than the asking price in my opinion. Would recommend to anyone.

At least, to me this gas was bullshit.
No tutorial, complicate UI, Uncomfortable combining system and fucking FRAME DROP while raining.
You'd better to buy another game until the maker fix this shitty game.

There's no music, the graphics are really basic, the English is bad, and there is barely any handholding - and you know what, I sorta don't care. All of the basics are there, the crafting is logical (so far), tools degrade, there is hunger and thirst. The combat with the slingshot is a little wonky, but the spear works just fine lol.
It isn't the best game in the genre, not by a long shot, but I can honestly say I've played worse. Maybe this guy will make a much better game in the future, so I don't mind supporting him now.
The negative reviews are all from 2017 and who knows, they might stand by those even today, so take a gamble or don't...

Read the effort put into the early access game description, take all those feelings about how much this developer does not give a sh*t and then the game is that much sh*t, nothing added to the basic survival and craft formula with even less reason given to explore and without 3d graphics. Shame could of been something that contended but under someone who has no faith in their own game unless others do what does anyone expect. RIP Greenlight, hopefully games with half a thought can get some light again.
