What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Uncharted Waters Online suffers from widespread player frustration over aggressive monetization practices, particularly on newer servers where pay-to-win mechanics create insurmountable competitive gaps, while technical issues like poor interface scaling and cumbersome account management further frustrate new players. The game's core naval gameplay concept has merit for some, but the community appears divided, with most reviewers concluding the game is not worth their time given its disrespect for player progression and accessibility problems.

Worst version of the game. New server already has lvl 97s after just months. How is this gonna be competitive? Its just a second pay wall cash grab server. News flash . Rerelease a Netmarble version capped at 60 and we will play. Stop rushing leveling. Otherwise why play?

They killed their own game due to greed. Introduced a new server to get players to spend and get ahead on the new server, splitting the already low player count. Would not recommend you to spend your time here, there are many other sailing games that will respect your time and money.

Not respectful of your time I can tell you this from 2 seconds of playing this.

With unmatched naval gameplay, tastefully embellished historical encounters featuring deadly sea serpents and tsunami men, it's hard to say no to a product this high quality. But in the end, saying no is what I had to do. Despite checking all the right boxes that I would expect in a historical piece, I cannot in good conscience recommend this gaming experience for the uncomfy "pro-Italy" themes it exhibits. The community is clearly an extremely tight-knit one, and when I expressed my concern for the problematic overtones, I was immediately berated and spammed some icky fascist memes. Maybe in another life I would recommend this product, but in its current state, it's best avoided altogether.

I just wanted to try the game!. Tried here and on their launcher, sooooo much of a hassle to even try to play. through steam i tried first, screen was so small to even see it finally figured out how to make it a bit bigger, then wouldnt even launch. tried the official server, password hell lets say!!!,,,,,gave up!!! More easier games to play than this pos!
