Ship Explorer

--Pitch Perfect and Full of Potential-- First, a clarification of what this is and isn't: This is an interactive historical experience where you explore the exterior decks of ships from different eras. As of August 2025, this includes two ships: the liner United States from the 1950s, and the liner Morro Castle from the 1930s. More ships are planned as DLC, with the battleship Bismarck upcoming shortly. With the exception of two rooms on the Morro Castle and some covered promenades, interior spaces are not included. This is a point of criticism that other reviews have brought up, but I think the level of modeling and detail is appropriate given the overall goals that the experience is working toward, and the fact that this is the product of a very small development team of less than 10 people. This is a product that intends to explore the design and history of different historical ships with a very small team, and succeeds admirably within those constraints. A full interior model for...

Wow! amazing. Ive played over an hour just in the dry dock, the details are amazing! Well worth the price and experience even if you cant go inside, its still worth the experience.

i love this concept of exploring ships. that being said, i am dissapointed that you largely cannot ENTER the ships. there is a dining area you can enter on 1 but on the same ship you cannot get to the bridge. i was expecting to get down into the guts of the ship. the chartrooms, radio rooms, state rooms engine rooms are all completely inaccessable.

I watched the preview videos and read the blurb, so I knew going in there were no interiors to explore. So I wasn't disappointed by what was included, You get to wander the decks, alter the time, season and weather. Add some aurora to the night sky. The ships are beautifully rendered and some nice effects. Performance on my PC is good. I have the sim running at a 2K resolution with effects set to high. All buttery smooth. I have no fancy setup either: 13th Gen i7, 32Gb DDR5, RTX4070 and Samsung 990 Pro NVME. I bought it as a peaceful experience, to imagine what it was like to be on those decks back then. I think you need to be the right sort of person to fully appreciate the sim. It perhaps doesn't meet the needs of the instant self gratification world we live in. That said, it would be nice if we could interact with a few things. Even just being able to sit on a seat on the prom deck. Overall, i'm happy though.

This is way cool!

Really neat! I was a volunteer on the SSUS with the conservancy for a while before she left Philly, so being able to wander around again is a really cool feeling. A little disappointing that you can't explore the interiors (though I think this is a WIP) and I'd love to be able to climb the stacks again, but the exteriors are modeled really well and the display and weather options are cool. Really only entertaining to play if you're *really* into ocean liners/historic ships, otherwise it might get a little boring.

This game is so eyecandy that it gave me diabetes rlly good game for being pretty small, only complaint i have is performance issues when you change the weather/spawn into a certain weather like rain

a bit mixed but manly good you could spend hours playing this game and just relaxing and 3 hours have passed

Great game, love learning about the ships, my 12 year old son has spent a lot of time on it. I love that he is learning

As a person who likes this era of ships, I'd say yes, buy it. But as a person, I say, Value for money is decent, but you dont get as much as youd expect, such as you'd think oh theres interiors, nope only Morro Castle has those.
