The gameplay is reminiscent of Minecraft but incorporates transportation mechanics, offering a mix of building and combat that shows potential for depth. However, many players find the current experience lacking due to frustrating tutorials, limited server access, and underwhelming physics, which detracts from immersion. While the game has addictive elements and a solid foundation, it requires significant improvements to fully realize its potential.
- “The gameplay is everything I hoped it would be.”
- “It actually forces you to learn the mechanics and makes you want to improve your designs over and over again.”
- “Game concept with enormous potential and incredibly addictive gameplay.”
- “More in-depth tutorials on the mechanics of the game are absolutely needed.”
- “Like everyone else has said, it has potential but right now Sea of Craft just feels bare bones with the annoying tutorial stages, can't connect to any of the limited servers (Europe and Asia only) just to continue past the tutorial to play any single-player content, and lackluster content both graphically and gameplay-wise.”
- “I did strongly consider refunding the game prior to the 120-minute mark but decided against it as a 'leap of faith' with my wallet. I haven't had any tangible fun so far with the 3 and a bit hours I've played upon writing this, as most of that time was spent checking out the creative building mechanic and how the game is played and how the physics engine works.”
