As Far As The Eye is a turn-based strategy game. The aim of the game is to bring the tribe to the center of the map before the floods come. In order to reach the indicated place it is necessary to collect resources needed for survival.
As Far As The Eye is a turn-based strategy in which the player must guide the fate of the tribe. Unexpected Studio is responsible for the development of the game, and Goblinz Studio was responsible for its release.
In As Far As The Eye, the player takes on the role of the wind that takes care of the tribe. His aim is to bring his wards to the center of the world before the floods that will cover most of the area.
As Far As The Eye is played out on a procedurally generated map, divided into hexagons. Before starting the game, the player can adjust the session parameters, such as its length or the number of available resources.
After hitting the map, the player has to determine the optimal path to the center of the world. However, it does not necessarily have to be the easiest way. During the journey the natives have to satisfy their needs and collect the resources necessary for their survival. For example, in order to satisfy the need for hunger, a fishing haven must be built. In addition, while exploring the world, you may meet NPCs with whom you can trade. They can also be added to the directed tribe.
The tribe may also encounter obstacles that will make their journey difficult. These may include difficult weather conditions, such as storms. Besides, there are places of cult on the map where you can make a sacrifice. If a player decides to loot them instead, he will also suffer the consequences.
In the game there is also an extensive tribe development system implemented. It was divided into three categories - work, knowledge and buildings. Each of them contains a set of improvements that affect the functioning of the settlers.
As Far As The Eye offers a colorful, cartoon-style graphic design. It was shown in isometric view.

Game Ratings for As Far as the Eye Video Game.
Checkpoint Gaming: 5 / 10 by David McNamara
For a strategy game that wants you to play for long sessions, inching your way “halt by halt” to safety for your tribe, As Far As The Eye lacks the quality of life features that would make the experience rewarding. Fans of turn-based strategy games might find enough enjoyment here to look past its most obvious flaws – there’s certainly a mechanically dense, lore-heavy strategic experience here for those willing to work for it – but if, like me, you like your games served without a healthy dose of frustration, you may want to look elsewhere.
Chalgyr's Game Room: 8 / 10
I like As Far As The Eye in terms of its concept and curious lore, but found that there wasn’t enough for me to really get into it. Despite having no combat, gameplay is reduced to passing time which fails to grip players. The success of one’s journey is dictated by a luck of the draw. Starvation is often the worst offender in the pupil’s survival but adding natural disasters and curses in the mix made the game much more interesting.
NoobFeed: 45 / 100 by Kurtis Seid
This port of As Far As The Eye does very little to make use of the PlayStation 4. The game itself has some fun ideas, and those that enjoy exploration and gathering aspects of simulation games like Civilization or Starcraft will find some enjoyment. Still, if possible, one should go for the Steam or Epic Store PC release if they have that option.
