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?”
