World Ship Simulator

If you are looking for a ship simulator buy the version before this, European Ship Simulator. It's not perfect but it's a thousand times better than this. This is bad in every sense possible. Graphically it's well below the standard we should be expecting these days. The controls are difficult to figure out and to programme, mainly because of poor instruction and appalling screen guidance. What's with the timeouts on programming a button? Seriously. Why? What's the rush? The "on the water" tutorial is poor and the graphics no better than "average" and then there's the harbour. Goodness knows what you can do in the harbour because when I moor/dock and go "inside the harbour building" the game slows to a crawl in a way I haven't seen a PC game do in about 15 years. It becomes totally unplayable and even altering graphic settings has no effect whatsoever. Not that I should have to. I have a pretty decent spec PC. However, I can see the graphics in the harbour building are as poor as...

I am a big fan of the open waters and simulations... Im still waiting for a very good ship simulator. Or just an acceptable one which can bring all the atmosphere alive what a nature, navigation, sea life means. WSS can none of these. Terrible unnatural graphics, bad controls, absolutely no illusion of being out there. Why is so hard to build a good ship sim? I do not recommend this game anyone - even for free. :(

This is a great improvement over what it is replacing. I found it fairly easy to control, and a bit slow, but then? This sort of game should be slower, right? Given the point it is at now as the starting place? I look forward to what it has coming. Water and other graphics looked good to me until going to the Tourism port by Fast Travel. Then the water disappeared or showed my port boat as more of a submarine. Outside that (which didn't crash it, as I could still moor the boat to go into the harbor offices), it looked beautiful on Ultra settings.

This game is highly inaccurate. I've been the captain of many boats in real life, so I've gotten to know the inside and outside of these vessels. That being said, whenever a boat even emits the slightest whimper, I can identify the make and model of said boat. For example, I spend my leisure time in real life on my 2009 Yahama 190 FSH, an aquatic vessel with a delightful purr that brings even the most hydrophobic lasses crawling the dock. This game has the NERVE to introduce a sport boat, yet the boat itself sounds more like a Scarab jet boat than my precious Yahama. Stuff like that honestly just makes me want to arm myself with a cartoonish hammer and bonk the devs of this game. Now as far as commercial boating goes, the crimes here are even more pernicious. The Hammerschmidt Shrimpmaster 320 is the standard for fishing boats, obviously. Yet the Hammerschmidt sounds similar to a sustained rhinoceros grunt, echoing through an aluminum tube. If these devs were fisherman, they'd know ...

First of all, it has to be said, this game is already a massive improvement on it's infamous predecesor..... that said, you can tell this is in early access stage, ok let's start with the bad.... -The night sky- This has no depth. I honestly think my grandmother could do a better job using MS paint and she can't even use a Nokia 3310! - Land bird noises out at sea- I know this may sound petty, but really, whenever I have been out at sea (7 ferry journeys this year) I have not seen a single land bird. I understand they migrate twice a year, however, definitely see a lot more Gulls than I see Robins this is for sure - Water coming through the front of the boat- This just feels unfinished as of yet so not overly concerned, however, realistic boat through water effects would be amazing. -Very small world- I hope this will be increased in size massively, I am sorry but 3 or 4 ports will not cut it. In a Sim/Arcade game, size will mean everything, a great example is Euro Truck Simulator, do...

Got this as a consolation prize when the previous design of it, Euro ship simulator, fell through from lack of support and interest in completing it. Can't say I'm surprised that this failed to meet even the same level of completion. Please don't buy it, you'll only be disappointed. I take my simulators seriously and had hopes this would be interesting. I even gave the complete change of product a chance. No more from Odin or Excalibur.

The Ship Simulation world is dead at the momment because nobody has got it right yet. I started with VSTEP's Ship Simulator 2008 which looked like it was heading into the right direction. Then Ship Simulator EXTREME's came about which resulted into a tottal disaster so I gave up on VSTEP. Next I checked out Sail Simulator which is not bad acually just a bit outdated textures and graphics. WSS looked great at the start but I don't think it's complete yet. It's got alot of work to be done on it especially optimization and I am very confused about how to play. You have to look in another place for a Ship Simulator

A lot better than the game before, also i got it for free because the other game sucked that bad ;) Right now there's a lot of things to improve, but the base of the game and the fact that there is a gameplay, is a huge improvement! If you are thinking about buying this game, i would recoment to wait a bit or buy it on sale. To the developers, good work and keep it up! Hoping on regular updates and expantions of the map.

Terrible! Unplayable, unbelievably glitchy and the FPS averages about 5 with graphics settings at their lowest (I have just been playing Elite Dangerous at full quality, so it is not my setup). Got this for free as I was stupid enough to but European Ship Simulator on release (it cost me £15 about a year ago), and I just feel offended that this is what is being offered in its place. I have now deleted this and ESS and have absolutely no intention of re-installing. This is an example of Steam (and developer) quality control being completely ignored.

This is an archaic looking arcade game that doesn't even run at 60FPS on an FX-8350, R9 290, 16GB RAM PC. I got it free after the Dev team for European Ship simulator gave up and the publisher found a new dev team. This game is ugly in comparison. But at least i runs better than the 12FPS I got in European Ship Simulator. My refund is on the way, and both of these games will be out of my library for good.
