Great early access game,very playable and not many bugs or glitches,however i will say for anyone who gets this game to please have patience with the devs,its important to remember that they are only a 3 man team who work very hard to give us good quality updates with minimum issues

Wow! Lots of potential here. The first true ship "simulator" in the making. Bravo! It's a little simplistic now, but I am very excited about what this game "might" become. I just spent 2 hours delivering groceries and had a blast doing it? To the developer, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! :) To me, this game just keeps getting better and better. If the developers adds every feature shown in the game's UI it may end up being a gem. As it is, the game is living, breathing artwork.

I refunded the game and got Fishing North Atlantic instead, which is, suprisingly, a really good game. I will return to SAS once there have been some more patches. Right now it is just too buggy and unpolished, but there is potential. The game needs NPCs, more to do, more to achieve, more to discover, more to interact with. Minigames have to be fluid and not wonky.

It angers me so much that people are leaving bad reviews saying it's buggy, to all those people: do you even know what an early access game is? Yes it's buggy, yes there is limited content. But if you would do the least amount of effort to look at their trello roadmap you'll see that there is so much content planned, and not even everything is on there. The early access sign isn't there for decoration you know. I know some games do that to hide the fact that it's buggy as hell and not want to fix it but not these guys. They listen to the community and if there is a bug you can address it in their discord instead of straight up leaving bad reviews. This game looks gorgeous and for ship enthusiasts sailing for hours is not a chore but an experience and fun. Updates will come eventually and I look forward to them very much.

This game is still in early access as I write this. I'll say right now, this game has a ways to go, but I still find it relaxing and fun. This could be the game that the devs have been striving to make if they stick with it. It could be big. There are some obvious bugs to patch right now (8/27/24): 1. The flying fish with the jigger 2. The water splashing that could use some work 3. SUDDEN WEATHER CHANGE out at sea 4. Boxes or nets or lines disappearing after loading save (they have a warning about this already.) 5. The net sometimes thinks there is still a fish in it and wont continue to haul or marks a fish I already did while the table is blocking it so I have to emergency stop and give up on the rest of the catch...) 6. I think it's a little too easy to damage boats, especially the ones with tires on the side. 7. The area to set boxes down should cover the whole boat, not just the middle, and I think I should be able to stack boxes and tie them or something. 8. Autopilot has a hard time following an entire route 9. The ropes dont pull the boat in closer while docking (I think this should be a thing or at least have the option to pull the boat in closer physically. 10. More light tutorial option with first time use for things like longlines. When I first figured out how to use it finally, I thought I only caught three fish and the string broke only to realize that each amounts to a lot without having to pull every single fish (which is nice.) But I'd increase it from 3 to 5 probably. Makes waiting more worth it. 11. Water physics needs work. When I land hard with a smaller vessel I see a water wall of sorts and it's very off putting. 12. I've spotted a rain drip pattern on the side of the boat... Please dont make these so obvious (: 13. If I am inside the boat, I would think when I close the door, the waves would sound softer...they do not right now. Also the waves sometimes come through the floor. 14. In third person sometimes the camera goes under the water only to reveal a vast emptiness breaking the illusion. Please add depths in case of this! Or make a dark gradient blue at least! 15. Sometimes when I try to look at cargo or place cargo on the boat and look down, it gets very dark so much so that I can't see anything... 16. If I get off the boat or on the boat, the camera view resets to straight forward and it's very jarring. Even jumping on the boat, the view resets. Here are some things that I'm sure are coming that I would like to see/comments: 1. Bigger and better fishing boats! I know the past games have crabbing or lobster boats but I would love one in this game as it is beautiful. 2. More variety of fish and maybe some fish that were accidentally caught and have to be thrown back. 3. I would like to explore the entire boat. If there's a door, I'd like to open it. If theres a button, it better have use. 4. A more interactive repair system if I'm doing it out at sea. 5. It's far too easy to make money with the fish farms. I'm very good at grinding games and while some are too hard and tedious, you can make money a little too easily in this one. While it is nice not to have to worry about the money after making millions on millions, it takes away the financial strategy of it all. 6. Faster boats (Im sure the bigger ones to come will go faster than 13 knots...) 7. Maybe a little homebase port that I can improve and store boats? 8. Fast travel if I'm not carrying any cargo would be nice. I can call SOS all day if I want but I feel like thats unnecessary. 9. NPCs working or driving boats around. It's awfully lonely out here! 10. An option to buy a cool random boat I see if I like it. 11. I would like to be able to jump and crouch... I may add to this list as I think of stuff but thats all for now. Again, this game can be so great if the devs stick to it and improve.
