The gameplay of the simulator is noted for its realistic mechanics, including sailing speed control and engine management options, which enhance the overall experience. However, the lack of tutorials on game mechanics may hinder new players from fully understanding how to navigate the game effectively.

“There are no tutorials on game mechanics or how things work.”

The game's optimization is heavily criticized, with users noting poor graphical quality, frequent crashes, and a lack of engaging multiplayer content. Many feel that the game is overpriced at $40, suggesting it should be valued at no more than $10 due to its subpar performance and limited features. Overall, the lack of attention to detail in both graphics and gameplay significantly detracts from the experience.
“The graphics could use a bit more work, particularly in terms of decorations aboard the ship, higher overall graphics quality, and improved graphical optimization.”
“The graphics could use a bit more work, such as decorations aboard the ship, higher graphics in general, and more graphical optimization.”
“I had to come back to change this review. As much as I like ship sims, $40 for a game that works only half the time and crashes the other half, with only free roam and a very poorly optimized multiplayer, this game is worth $10 at absolute most. The only good thing about the game is the multiplayer capability, but speaking of the fact they are asking $40 for this, there is never anyone in multiplayer to do anything with. If the price on this game drops to $10 max, that's the only way I could consciously recommend it. The ship models aren't even good; they only focused on the exterior with zero care in a simulator about the interior. How can you even call yourself a ship sim and charge $40 when Ship Sim Extreme is only $20 and has way more to offer in terms of visual and actual gameplay simulating what ships do?”
