MY REVIEW
Finally in early access! I’ve already played the first two missions (tug boat & passenger ferry) and I’m very impressed. The game is beautiful & relaxing with very few issues to report. I can see this becoming a success story like Euro Truck Simulator 2 in multiplayer but for sea faring fans everywhere!
As for what I’d like to see in the future, well I think that while navigating on your main quest waypoints (which can take +1 hour or more on some missions) you could also have sub quests.
More examples:
1. ‘jump to next waypoint’ button should be available at all times or maybe a ‘fast forward time’ option should be implemented as well.
2. on board customer services like administrative crew hiring/firing, catering or even medical attention
3. routine engine room & pumping station maintenance checks (for all large vessels)
4. various emergency situations like random post vessel collision rescues, responding to fires or even rescuing drowning victims could be a thing as well.
5. the option to use a smaller speed boat to reach some nearby objectives would be cool too.
Overall I love this game because I see it going very far and I’m looking forward to countless hours of gaming here. Awesome job from Merge Games & Excalibur Publishing. Keep up the great work guys.

Well after a few lays I took it off the PC, no mods for it and it looks like Excalibur have abandoned it, it’s not that god.
What the fuck? This game lags like shit. I have 16gb ram, amd fx8350, r9 290x gpu.. what more does this game want?
yo quisiera saber como puedo poner el juego a funcionar
How realistic is the water physics? Do you use parametric PDE or other methods?
Hahaha, if I were the Capt. of that ship and the tug tried to take my ship into the dock on the hawser, I’d have dropped both hooks on you. I liked the game UNTIL, the your tug hooked up without a bridle and then it had you take the ship past the breakwater in ‘short-tow’ and not ‘on the hip.’ Gack! Insanity!!!!!111one
4k? not bad
Friend Jim I bought the game but me says that my executable is missing while I’m connected to the steam. Please help me I will love to play this game. Thanks.

dude how do i change the resolution in this game and other graphic settings?in the options there is only an option to select low medium or high quality.nothing more.
Hollll-leeeeee fucking excitement! Okay just breathe.. wew wew (calm down) and breeeeeeath. I SAID FUCKING BREATH!!! Thanks for almost giving me a –hard on– heart attack in this video.
How were you able to record this … I have tried Fraps and DX and both come out blank any hints ?
i love this game and im gonna get it to day
does this game have free roaming?
Nice…but those Seagull noises would drive me nuts….are you able to switch them off in the game?
riveting stuff
it was OK for 2006 when first Ship Simulators appeared, but so far after 8 years navigational features are at the same level without any upgrades. Do they intend to simulate at least somethin like basic radar screen ? Cause without it all those night or poor visibility missions have nothing to do with real bridge. The ENC plotter could also be improved after all those years
I really love the game! I really want this!! 🙂
Free Rome?
my english is poor is this game good?
I want to buy if my G940 logitech can mapping all of its axis. (R1=bow thrust, R2=center prop, T1=Left prop, T2=Right prop, trim2=rudder, S4=horn)
Where is the horn?
We now need milk float simulator. See how quick we could do a round.
