I really wanted to be impressed by Professional Ship Simulator, but at the moment I’m pretty mixed on it.

played the Demo in hopes of improvement upon release but unfortunately not :(

It’s not necessarily bad, it just feels like it needs to cook for WAY longer. The whole experience currently feels quite bland and old-fashioned, rather than like a modern ship simulator.

Visually, I’m particularly disappointed. The graphics have this strange slimy/plastic look to them, and at times it genuinely feels like we’ve digressed back to around 2007. I wasn't expecting photorealism, but I was expecting something with a bit more atmosphere, detail and life to it.

The AI voice doesn't help either. It regularly pronounces things incorrectly, which might sound like a small complaint, but in a simulator where immersion is a huge part of the experience, it sticks out immediately and makes everything feel that little bit less polished.

The biggest problem for me is that it just feels bland. Nothing has really grabbed me yet or given me that feeling of being aboard a working vessel. The foundations might be there, but it needs more character, atmosphere and polish before it feels like the modern ship simulator I was hoping for.

There is definitely potential here, which is why I don't want to write it off. Give it some time, improve the visuals, sort the AI voice and inject some life into the overall experience, and I think it could become something really enjoyable.

For now though, it feels less like a finished modern simulator and more like something that's still cooking as it is Early access, im gunnu wait until i see improvement. Sorry.

I am soo disappointed about this. Now I understand why the demo was so short. It feels like a version of Virtual Sailor from 20y ago. The graphics are not up to standards. The controls are not that in depth. The mooring and vessel manoeuvring is not up to the "professional" standard. Aerosoft messed this up really good, as well.
The game feels rushed and not finished. It just not up to the 30euro requested.

Has potienal.
is very rough around the edges and loaded with bugs

cant even do the tutorial missions in story mode.
it locks, wont complete the tutoiral, or unlock the next one


core itself is good. hope they stick with it and iron out the problems.
