Nice and (kinda) peacefully sailing adventure. Sailing in the wind is as painful as in realife

Nov. 2024

Pause the battle! I need to fish! -priorities! Do not let my game hours fool you. I've got this game on other platform and decided to get another copy on steam since I'm mostly active here. The game has been a really relaxing and immersive ride, I enjoyed every bit of it; content keeps on getting thrown out, even the Maelstrom DLC; when I bought it it only had small instanced maps, now it even has bosses and entire world to explore. The amount of various gear, equipment and ships allows you to fully customize your fleet to enjoy the game as you want. I'm glad other platform offered this game for free; since that's how I discovered it. It's been one of the most enjoyable and unique games I've played and one of the rare games on the market that I actually think they're worth their price.

This game is passing under the radar for some reason. Sailing simulation is GOOD, so much that i actually enjoy just sailing around doing nothing. Physics is good, wind changes dynamically, and with simulated waves everything work seamlessy. Combat is fun, some weapons are a bit overpowered and ai companions sometimes dumb, (not that the game is that difficoult, this is a minor complaint). There is also a kind of main quest and it gives a good impression of happening almost 'by chance' and not imposed over the player. Npc are hilarious and the tone is lighthearted. Also other side quests around. Highly suggested to anyone, even if just curious.

diaspora of ships on display, and unlike a lot of the other 'sims' on steam that over focuses on fully rigged, square sailed slop, this has a lot of brilliantly proportioned and detailed fore and aft designs. absolute rig-porn. (i made that up) combat is arcade-y but there's enough nuance to have different builds. the tech tree for unlocks is good. it can be slow at points, but you can also get by perfectly well boarding and capturing enemy (or unsuspecting) ships for their kit. Aiming could feel better, you're given a 2-d cone that represents the weapon's field of attack but not given any choice as to the vertical angle you fire it at. I concede that may just be an oversight so that combat doesn't feel too clunky, but sometimes I feel i miss shots that i might otherwise hit, given more control. writing is light-hearted and whimsical. The sound design is pared back and uncluttered when compared to many other sailing games. visual art direction is a high point: both timeless and eye catching. Visual clarity's great. Design of the ships, again, cannot be overstated how well it's done. The story progression is cool and some of the fights have more depth to them than i thought a naval game could have. overall? worth it at full price. easily. it's a very, very 'cozy' game and I will show it to my friends whenever the opportunity presents itself.

This is the perfect sailing game if the you want something similar to Wind Waker boat mechanics, but with more control. Sailing in this game is very satisfying!
