Ship Graveyard Simulator 2: Prologue

“I had to lower the graphics settings, so it now looks like something from the '90s.”

“Framerates tank to 28fps when using right click with the hammer to collapse boat parts with everything on very low. I can't even hold a steady 60fps on very low now. Putting the settings up to even medium reaches 99% GPU usage and tanks fps when approaching shop/trading counters. The game feels really unoptimized; my GPU is almost on fire with settings above very low. There are major drops even on very low settings. I meet the recommended specs, which is a shame as the gameplay is good, but the graphics don't justify the performance.”

“Graphics for a free game is even nothing.”

“Why is the mission status reset after putting all stuff from the truck into the sorting/recycle plant?”

“Yes exactly, mission failed and I can never finish it because all beds are gone.”

“Unfortunately, it looks like autosaves currently suck as I was on the second mission picking up a couple items off the floor when I suddenly got a random UE4 crash and when I launched the game again, I was back right before finishing the first mission, meaning I lost about 65 minutes of progress.”

“It's an advertisement disguised as a full game, and you're expected to pay $25 USD for the real product after seeing this advert.”

“While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”

“Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demos/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which is harmful behavior and not good for gamers.”

“Sadly, I foresee this game having the same problem as the prequel, where the bigger ships will be incredibly tedious to dismantle.”

“Upgrades are slow and grindy.”

“You'll need a second life for grinding.”

“The game seems relaxing and the concept is good, but in its current state I wouldn't recommend it as the performance is inconsistent. I meet the recommended specs (GTX 1660 Ti 6GB, AMD Ryzen 4600H with 16GB RAM) and it cannot maintain 60fps even on very low settings. The biggest issues are with saw effects when continuously sawing a random wall, where fps tanks to around 47fps, and with ship parts collapsing. This happens even with all settings on low or any resolution.”

“I could only manage low shadows to keep the fps at about 60, which is odd considering games like Dying Light push much higher settings and rarely drop below 60fps. Clearly, the game needs more optimization before release.”

“I will give it another go when the team optimizes the game further. In its current state though, the performance is awful (at least for me).”

“Especially on something you know is going to be this buggy on top of a huge time sink (freezes often).”

“The physics are laggy and buggy in several aspects which make collecting dropped items a pain.”

“I don't know why everyone is having glitches.”

“The music and some GUI sound effects just don't seem to fit.”

“You can finish the entire game in just a few hours and there is little to no replayability.”
