April 2025
If you enjoy exploring, this is an excellent game. There are lots of locations and interesting things to discover in the Salt 2 world. I only have one gripe - The game would really benefit from a simple decent save / load game interface. As it is, you can only save your current position. And because you can't quit without saving, you can't "save in case you mess up" and then restore if you fail. So, like a few other games (I'm looking at you, There Are Billions), you are forced to quit the game and handle the backing up of save files from within the operating system. Come on Devs - What's wrong with F5 - Quicksave F9 - Quickload ?

A relaxed pirate adventure. Sail the seas and explore hundreds of procedurally generated islands, whilst levelling up your skills. Play your way; decorate your boat, go fishing, take on quests for different guilds, craft equipment, kill enemies or go hunting for food. I really enjoyed this game, great work from an indie dev ♥

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!
