In-game

« Great game if you are interested in travelling time. You will start playing at a given point in time and end your session at 5am a few days later and remember you forgot to eat. »

« Started a peaceful farming settlement. Ten minutes later, half the population died of diarrhea, wolves ate the rest, and my only survivor was a guy named Ulf who lived off berries and trauma. 10/10 authentic medieval life simulator. »

« This is Banished, but bigger, better looking, more complex, and perhaps a little more forgiving. I've yet to see if the late game problems (death waves and such) exist here as well, but early and mid-game is pretty much a carbon copy. »

« In a sea of sub-par city building games that seem like chimeras stitched together from copied and vaguely understood game mechanics, Farthest Frontier rises above as a game with real game design talent behind it. Well done Crate. »
