Review #662

Uncharted Waters

Sailing. Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be.

Gameplay

Sailing is like watching paint dry. Depending on how the wind is blowing your ship moves quickly or not at all and everything in between.
What I wouldn't give for a map. I left port and wandered until I ran out of supplies and died. There might be a good game here but I couldn't find it.
Understandable menus which is nice.

Level Design

unclear objectives. Am I supposed to load up with cargo and trade at other ports? Where are those ports? Where's the cargo? What am I doing?

4 / 5

Theme

I like the idea and your backstory as the ambitious son of a seaman. I like the open world concept.

Art Style

NES+
Anime style headshots with tiny simple chibi sprites

Audio

Lovely music. Easily the best thing about the game.
