I can see their vision, needed more time

I preordered this after seeing some gameplay that piqued my interest; and tried to return within 20 minutes of being able to install it. How this was allowed to be released without any option to remap the keys or controller layout is beyond me. After waiting a day for GOG to respond, I decided to punish myself and just play through it. The graphics are reminiscent of Breath of the Wild ( you can even craft a glider that serves nearly no purpose). Kara looks great (her name only mentioned in the games description.) along with the various wildlife and weapons. The environments are sparely used until the last 2 chapters, which I would have loved to see more of early on. Unfortunately, the chapters are mostly empty with only a handful of islands worth exploring merely to find your typical power-ups ( no dungeons or caves. only destroyed huts and alters and graveyards.) The title music and calm sailing music are great but everything else will become annoying by chapter 2 if you choose to scour the chapters section of ocean. Sounds tend to glitch if your using any type of elemental bow. Combat feels awkward in the sense that aggressive enemies can out maneuver you by speed or appendage and feel like they have smaller hit boxes yet bigger attack ranges and are often launched into the air like a rocket when defeated that may or many not be harvested. I completed the game in story mode in 6-7 hours exploring all the islands I came across. you could probably burn through this in 2-4 hours if you just hit the towers. Survival mode merely to allow you to grind shell spirits to be offered for unbreakable gear or artifacts ( just craft a Tempest Bow) if you want to collect everything by dying and playing through the chapters again The story try's hard to be a fusion of Journey meets Abzu but failed to connect me emotionally, since you encounter nothing, no NPC's, not even another washed up body. This is not worth 30 bucks, at 10-15 it would be worthy of a third star

Unfinished / Abandoned?

bought the game on day one at first it was a really neat concept of a game but after few months decided to return back to the game to see what was added and then i realized that nothing had changed it's still the same unfinished shell of game, sailing around aimlessly and diying over and over i got the sudden erge to return to a game that's got far more fun and has far more in the early access then this game does Valheim.

Beautiful

Beautiful waves, Beautiful ocean physics, Beautiful sailing experience (especially once you start expanding your boat). I would've liked the game to be harder earlier though. Once it gets going there's not many chapters left.

Soooo much potential, but...

...too repetitive. It's still a good game with an interesting premise and interesting ship building mechanic. Grab it cheap, enjoy it.

A great game for cheese

I seldom review, but seeing mostly negative reviews, I feel the need to add my own, more positive, take on it. I like are the beautiful graphics , the exploration and the thrill of discovery when you discover a tiny island and wonder what it will hold, and the cheese. By cheese, I mean using the overpowered Sea Witch's Staff of Cleansing to attack when standing on rocks. The staff generates three pink orbs. Like short range magic missiles, they attack the creature closest to you, and never miss. Creatures cannot get on top of rocks, so you are safe and can use ranged attacks. Creatures will usually move around though, so rocks and arrows are likely to miss. Not the staff's orbs. Without it, combat in this game is hard. Any attacks against you is brutal. The game expects you to dodge and parry to avoid getting hit. You can cheese fighting creatures with the staff from safety, but not the boss fights. Those are in an arena with no safe spots. To win boss fights, you need to learn to dodge attacks at the right moment. The Night Stalker Cowl helps you there: it is one of the items found with a treasure map, and makes dodging faster and cost less stamina. Make sure you have it and the staff before fighting the level 3 boss. Dodge works against almost every attack, except area of effect attacks. So dodging wins you most fights. Only one boss (the chapter 3 one) has an area of effect attack, but he seems to only use it if you are far away. So stay close, wait for his attack animation to start, then dodge and counter attack. If you use the witch's staff, wait to attack him until you have all three orbs. Because the orbs are more powerful the more you have of them. If you are trying to get Witch's staff from pumpkins and the Beast Stalker hood from treasure maps, but get other items instead, just have some animals kill you and restart. That will respawn the world, with new pumpkins and treasure maps for you discover. You retain any boons you've already found!
