Ships At Sea

I know it is an EA game but still my feelings stays same. If you liked this game play their older titles. This one just isn't it sorry.

Cant recommend this ship sim enough. Its very relaxing to cruise from port to port, delivering cargo, people, or the fish I've just caught. Its still in early access but this is the best team of developers I've seen on a game. They have such a passion and give progress updates all the time. In the year I've been playing there has been so much time put into the map and updates with new boats, fish species, and so on its worth it in my opinion. Looking foreword to many more hours spent on the open seas!

Can't wait for ferry update!

Unique game with a lot of potential! Can recommend if you like simulator type games and fish!

So this is an complete re-write of my original review, which was negative. I have now moved this to a positive review, with issues. Gameplay: Starts off extremely slow. A major issue with most of the reviews are due to journey times. I'm not going to lie, its pretty rough to begin with. You have 3 main ways to play the game. Cargo, Fishing, or Service. You'll start in a rowboat, with enough money to purchase a motorised boat. Do this immediately. I spent the first hour in the row boat, which is painful. I think the tutorial needs to steer you towards a career path right from the start in my honest opinion. I've now tried cargo, and fishing(Longline, Jig, and Net) and fishing is by far the most involved career path so far. There's finding the fish, baiting and prepping, as well as reeling in and gutting the fish themselves. On top of these career paths theres passenger running, fish farming and whale spotting. There maybe more but i'm yet to attempt them. Journey times: This did get easier after I moved into tier 2 and started fishing with a fully upgraded engine. Up to that point.. I did my best to keep cargo runs as close as possible. Moving just 4 NM, was an hour of getting up …

I really like this game. I’ve been following it since practically the start of its development, and I decided to hold onto it to give it a chance. I don't regret it at all now. I’ve seen how far it has come, both visually and in the behavior of the water and the ships, as well as the activities available. Also the devs still have plenty of plans for the future. For me, it’s the kind of game I regularly come back to when I want a quiet moment to unwind with some music. It relaxes me, and that’s ultimately what I look for in a game like this. I’m eager to see how it continues to evolve.
