Early Access Review
This game is highly inaccurate. I've been the captain of many boats in real life, so I've gotten to know the inside and outside of these vessels. That being said, whenever a boat even emits the slightest whimper, I can identify the make and model of said boat. For example, I spend my leisure time in real life on my 2009 Yahama 190 FSH, an aquatic vessel with a delightful purr that brings even the most hydrophobic lasses crawling the dock. This game has the NERVE to introduce a sport boat, yet the boat itself sounds more like a Scarab jet boat than my precious Yahama. Stuff like that honestly just makes me want to arm myself with a cartoonish hammer and bonk the devs of this game.

Now as far as commercial boating goes, the crimes here are even more pernicious. The Hammerschmidt Shrimpmaster 320 is the standard for fishing boats, obviously. Yet the Hammerschmidt sounds similar to a sustained rhinoceros grunt, echoing through an aluminum tube. If these devs were fisherman, they'd know that. Instead this fishing boat sounds like a baby ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ into an aluminum can. I can't listen to this and not be angry. This horrible mistake could only go unnoticed by the most oblivious of grass men, whose ears are so small that sounds are simply monotone beeps and purrs.


Second point, don't even bother me with a tutorial, I know how to pilot a ship. I've been on boats my entire life. My father was the captain of a large skiff, which he used to fish for crab in the Alaskan Sea. Unfortunately fishing regulations caused him to go broke. I think if the liberal up north are so concerned about the life of freaking fish they should just dive into the sea and life among the crabs, sea snails, and aquatic creatures like Aquaman.

TLDR this is BULLCRAP.

Any real fisherman knows this game is trash created by the aeronautics industry to bring a crappy name to all boating men throughout the world (including the oceans).

So your entire review is based on the SOUND the boats make and the fact that you, Mr Fisherman, don't need a tutorial when others might? Pretty salty. :steamsalty: How are the controls? How's the scenery? How are the missions? What are the oceans like? Do the boats handle properly? Are the ports busy? What's the AI like? Honestly, at 0.2 hours did you even play the game?

TLDR this review is BULLCRAP... :guard:

Ah, the sea is such a fickle mistress. Reading your legendary tales of seamanship brought a tear to the eye of this salty sea dog. May these devs be bonked mercilessly for this travesty of a game.
