Sailist

It's wants to be a game, but at the moment, it's more like a glorified tech demo than one. Has a good concept, but fails in multiple areas due to bad game design and/or lack of features that are a must have in a game of this nature, such as: ">" = Importance >>>A global map of any nature, the mini-map in the corner is all you get and it's extremely hard to read. >>>UI at sea that signifies what you're looking at (Ship types, allegiance, town name over the town as you are going to it, etc) >>>Sails as consumables. Considering hemp sails in this era could last up to 20 years and linen up to 6, it's a strange choice to make when no other sailing game worth it's weight has done that. Give them a quality rate that degrades over time if you need them to break that isn't them getting shot at. >No activities to do while actively sailing, you just stare at water. Uncharted Waters solved this with player skills at sea. At least it made it a little active. >>>No logbook of any kind recording what towns carry what, contribution levels, specialty, etc. I'm very sorry, but I will not be keeping a notepad close at hand. >No activities to do on land, at all. (Save for building villages if you r…

don't expect a map. just sail around and make money. also we should have sea monsters.

Really can't recommend for now

Sailist is shaping up to be one of the most promising pirate simulators I’ve played. It strikes a perfect balance between depth and accessibility—the crew and ship management systems are rich and rewarding, without becoming overwhelming or micromanage-heavy. One of my favorite parts is the sense of immersion: watching your crew actively move around, handle sails, reload cannons, get drunk, really brings your ship to life. The sailing mechanics, trading, and settlements give the game a solid simulation foundation. I especially enjoy the calm pacing—it lets you really take in the world without pressure. That said, I’d love to see more audio immersion: crew voices, sea shanties, working sounds, or background chatter would make the ship feel even more alive. All in all, a very promising pirate game with a clear passion behind it. Looking forward to see where it goes during Early Access!

Fun, sailing game with a fair few things to do like trading, pirates, building outposts, etc. Definitely recommend to anyone that likes sailing/pirate type games.
