Nov. 2024

TL;DR: It took me 75 hours to complete all of the main guild quest lines, but I enjoyed it enough to do so. All of the below is based on early access build, Nov 2024. The things I liked: - using a sextant for navigation gave the sailing a more authentic feel than having a typical compass and mini-map on the HUD - the parrying in melee combat was satisfying - the weapon levelling system - the trade skill system - the ship decorating Things that could be better: - be nice to have a main story quest that linked up to all of the guild faction quest lines - instead of a quest sending you to an island you've already cleared, it could easily send you to one you haven't cleared - while I liked the navigation system, more convenient options in the late game would be good - placement of decorations is finicky due to the boat movements, be great if sea ports had a "dry dock" we could use when we decorate - the textures in caves felt a bit bland compared to the rest of the game - while I liked the option of "tagging" islands, but wish it was a little more automatic Things I didn't like: - you had to be way too close to an island to map it, using telescope and sextant should be enough if it's within visual range - even though you didn't have to account for weapon drop for bows and pistols, you did for throwing knives. I understand it for the bombs, but it felt inconsistent - sometimes throwing weapons would get lost under the corpse of enemies you barely missed. they're there, but you can't get at them

Salt 2: Shores of Gold is a chilled game of exploration. Your ship is your home. In a procedurally generated world you can sail and explore to your heart's content. There is danger on the islands, sometimes unexpectedly. There are caves to explore but you never know what will be waiting for you in them. Tons of crafting to do, resources to harvest, and skills to level up. I recommend you enter the world of adventure and purchase this game :) Arr!

its reminds me alot of sea of thieves just more relaxed. sadly there is no naval combat. i hope the devs will add that, otherwise a great game for people who want to relax and sail after work

Desperately needs Co Op support. very solid gameplay loop, large amount of content (so far), optimized fairly for early acces, has consistent art direction and general gameplay is solid. just a great game, looking forward to its completion. recommended.

I played the original Salt along with my family and we loved it. It was a great exploration game. Perhaps from a sense of nostalgia, I just got Salt 2 ..... 'blink' ..... 24 hours of play time later .... What a great game. Very soon after starting if you follow the simple beginner quests, you have a ship equipped with all the crafting stations and the world is your oyster. - the quest system is great and there are a lot of quests and factions. I am discovering quests lines 24 hours in. - you have unlimited storage on your ship after you craft a chest - it's fun to explore islands, there is a surprisingly large amount of content and variation, still discovering new caves and puzzles. - the water and ocean environment is excellent. It is so chill just sailing around to new islands in the different weather. you can stop and fish, dive around rock formations .. - and, there are underwater caves and a sea diver's guild, really cool. - 24 hours in and not a single bug. Absolutely superb exploration game. Really enjoying it. Really relaxing. Highly recommended if you like this genre.
