The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them
ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you
think your game has been under-rated!
| 1 Cup | Not serious entertainment |
| 2 Cups | A reasonable game, worth a try |
| 3 Cups | A good game, worth playing |
| 4 Cups | A great game, well worth your time |
| 5 Cups | An outstanding, must-play game! |
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common
for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having
a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just
getting started!
Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

This is a very good game. The graphics are sometimes crude, sometimes average and sometimes very cute and detailed (especially the parkscene). The soundtrack is generally well chosen and fits the atmosphere. Speaking of, the atmosphere is definitely the strongest part of this game. The storyline is original and interesting, there are several locations to visit and there are many puzzles that can be solved in which order you like. This is definitely necessary because they are difficult but also rewarding. On some occasions I needed help because they were a bit too convoluted but generally they were all logic.
This game takes quite some time to complete because of the puzzles and exciting story. If you want to play a full length game with fantastic immersion and clever old-school puzzles this is the game for you.
Highly recommended!

Thanks for the comments everyone! I've published a walkthrough for the game at http://thefarcornersoftheworld.weebly.com/fcotw1-walkthrough.html, so if you are stuck, that's the place to go.

Great game, everyone should play it. :)

Thoroughly immersive and enjoyable. The not-so-great-graphics didn't interfere with the gameplay at all, and the charcters and story were great. Can't wait for the next episode.

Fine writing, well depicted characters and some old school puzzle solving, I am enjoying this greatly! Tip: have a walkthrough handy, because old school puzzles can give you a headache sometimes!

REALLY nice game. smooth gameplay, only drawback is that sometimes, when you're close to an exit, you have to walk away a bit before you can leave. Also, there is music stutter everytime you switch rooms.
But, nice sequence of events, good characters, fun puzzles. Looking forward to part 2!

Don't let the looks deceive you. The Far Corners Of The World offers a well written and well paced storyline, a few hours of gameplay and many challenging puzzles.
Putting aside some minor letdowns (like forced puzzles and hard to guess solutions), TFCOTW succeeds in pulling you into its game environment. A brilliant example that graphics aren't everything.
