Our take on JETT: The Far Shore + Given Time
Rather than centering its adventure structure on combat and equipment upgrades, the game mixes cinematic chapters with ecological investigation, low-altitude travel, social interludes, and light survival. Its open-world systems sit inside a story-led science-fiction campaign.
What is JETT: The Far Shore + Given Time?
JETT: The Far Shore + Given Time is a single-player science-fiction adventure spread across five acts and two connected campaigns.
Players pilot a low-flying jett over an ocean planet, examine unfamiliar plants and animals, adapt to environmental dangers, and use scientific equipment to solve obstacles. The story follows scout Mei and her fellow scouts as they investigate the hymnwave, an interstellar signal linked to their people's search for salvation. Ground Control provides first-person social sequences between expeditions. Encounters include evading pursuers, navigating hazards, and outmaneuvering giant kolos creatures. The game combines cinematic story episodes, open-world immersive-sim elements, exploration, light survival systems, and ecosystem puzzles. Given Time continues the story three years after the original campaign.
