Great game to play with a controller. The gameplay is easy to learn, relaxing, and surprisingly addictive—I sat down for what I thought would be a quick two-hour session, only to realize five hours had flown by. Definitely worth your time if you're looking for a low-stress sailing and exploration game.
I've been looking for a game like this for a very long time and I don't know how i missed the release of Sail Forth as it is fantastic. Sailing in this game is a joy, and the battles are awesome. However, islands feel somewhat deserted and battles get easy once you get the harpoon, as you can board better ships that have small crews and capture them. Currently playing on a M1 Mac Mini with 8GB, with predefined graphic settings at 1080p, and it runs really good. Frames may drop when there are 10+ ships.
Its a good game and pretty chill. Perhaps some more sailing mechanics might be nice or something optional to do while sailing. They have added that you can't sail straight into the wind or at a very close angle to it and that the best speed is gained from wind perpendicular to your boat which is a nice touch and often overlooked. Very pleased with the game and this one won't be giving me nightmares anytime soon! (Maybe we could help the slug chap a bit? I kinda feel for him... :<)
I have mixed feelings about this game, but it has a lot of character and I think deserves and overall positive review. The game is essentially a mix of Mount and Blade where you are exclusively on boats with the whimsical feeling of exploration of BoTW sprinkled on top. Conceptually amazing, but this game is a much smaller scope of either of the previously mentioned titles, so don't get too overly excited or you will be left disappointed! The good: *good customization allowed for boats, gun placement, colors, decals, etc *interesting mini games for unlocking cosmetics (fishing and photography) *Humorous dialog, the creator could have left it stale, but chose to put a lot in a lot of humor that would have made otherwise boring repetitive dialog fun. *chill atmospheric music *bright/fun colorful aesthetic The bad (gripes): *I am no sailor, but the wind mechanic for sailing makes no sense to me. There would be times when the wind would be directly behind my sails and my boat would be crawling along and other times when the wind was perpendicular to my boat and I would be cruising. I never could figure it out. *When the wind is blowing against your sail you just stop and can't turn or do anything without back rowing at a snails pace. This is extra annoying which fishing or interacting with anything completely stops your boat and if you are stopping against the wind it can make thing tedious. I eventually stopped fishing midgame because I was tired of trying to get my boat coasting to a decent speed again. *The range on all the guns feel like they should be longer. I never felt like I could strategically use my guns by strafing on enemy boats with how short the range on all the guns were. All ship battles were just going in minicircles trying to shoot the enemy boat until a) out boats collide and get stuck or b) the winds slows my boat to a halt and I am a sitting duck. At first the ship battles are fun, but eventually turn into a tedious cluster especially after you add a few ships to your fleet and are fighting multiple enemy ships at once. *Due to the annoyances with the wind as soon as I unlocked fast travel I exclusively traveled this way unless I had to discover a new locations which I think shows how punitive the wind mechanic is. Its slow down effect needs to be lessened I think. I think it would also be nice if the game said how many knots you are sailing at to better gauge speed. *The grab distance should also be increased for items that are dropped. The number of times I beached myself trying to get an item off the coast of an island or next to an object is absurd. *some objects are in the game, but not for use? You can get Tek destroyers in your fleets, but are not supposed to command them? If you try to outfit the frog submarines if you get one in your fleet the game forces you to unequip their torpedoes before returning to play. Not sure why those objects are in the game if I can't utilize them. I realize my gripe list is long, but I really enjoyed the concept of this game (a whimsical sailing game that is easy to pick up and play) and I want it to be better, but I feel the scope and quality of the game is appropriate for the cost. My play time is closer to 20 hours for 'beating' the game, I had my PC running with it open while AFK. That being said to add a final gripe, I am unsure if I beat the game or not, I just did story mission until I couldn't find anymore and called it good, so maybe that can be a final gripe. No clear conclusion?
