Runs like straight poop from a butt and it's not a simulator BUT if you are looking for an arcadey ship game then this is perfect. if you are looking for a simulator then go for ships at sea or stormworks

Fully focused review if you are thinking to buy this game: My name is Ian Alonso and I´m seafarer serving as an Officer of the Watch IRL, This game catched my attention because it´s not many seafarers games at the time.... After I took the step to join in this game I must say a lot of aspects must be improved but overall talking it is really good game: Tug Boat: Really amazing job, feels like one IRL an its a really close detailed experience Bigger size vessel: Them are a really nice experience but overall still not comply with IRL as the balance of the weight and also the hardening of the wheel is not close 100% Campaign: Really good story waiting for more actually... Brilliant!!! Weather System: It´s a really amazing thing to see and I wouldn´t even touch. Absolut cinema! Sea Conditions: Wave system is a thing that I will put the focus a little bit more but really good!! Tidal Currents: Nailed it! Customization: Such a grat job and really well worked, waiting for different paterns or stiker system can be added later on! I´m really surprised with all the new update content INMERSION is really inmersive way to introduce people to a real OOW/CAPTAIN job such as dealing with paperworks and regulations, talking also about the SOLAS, LSA code etc... SUCH A GREAT JOB DONE IN THERE. Conclusion: This game has a lot of potential and buying the early access would only create you the need of having more miles under you body or making you become a real seafarer. Really excited for what is coming, I would like to please beg developers itself keep working on this project because this game can conduct in such a great experience not only for relaxing as well learning and increse the knowledge for everybody. Thank you Astragon Studio, such a great job!

So I played this for a few hours just to see if it's as bad as the other reviews would lead you to believe And I found it to be nothing but enjoyable. A decent start from an early access game! Are there some realism mechanics missing? Sure. Does it make it unplayable? Absolutely not. For someone who's been waiting for a decent ship simulator game since 2008, this is definitely scratching the itch and promises to be a regular game in my roster for the foreseeable future.

I always wanted a game where I could helm a container cargo ship and steam across the sea for hours. This is that game. It has many more things to do but I love cargo runs. Fixing my engines, and such. The detail of the water, changing weather conditions, and wind makes for a dynamic and ever changing environment. It's a relaxing and challenging game. As someone who has always been fond of the maritime I thoroughly enjoy the gameplay. My only critiques are that it crashes OFTEN, however the autosave has meant that I always launch back in to exactly where I last stood on my ship. And I would enjoy a larger map with more open seas. 9/10

ETS2 - but in the water. A lot of people are complaining that this is more arcade than sim, and they have a point. The natural evolution of this title would be to add (optional and incremental) 'realistic' sim mechanics. That said - you could really level the same criticisms at ETS2, and that title seems to be doing quite well. For me, it is simple - am I enjoying playing a game? If I am (as in this case), it gets a thumbs up. The devs seems quite active in adding patches and new content to the game - another good reason for a thumbs up (I have far too many half-done and abandoned games in my Steam Library). I have had my money's worth playing the game in it's current state, but it is great to know that it is evolving too. I was put off playing this due to reported concerns regarding optimisation. Now, a game can always be further optimised, but it works just fine on my rig *and* in VR (with UEVR). If I were looking at the ships on a flat screen, rather than *being in them*, I would not have bought the title. However, it is a wonderful and immersive experience in VR. This goes in my 'fun to play sim' category - a great title to just chill out with.
