Sail and Sacrifice

This is by far the worst experience I've had with a game. I don't care if I only played for 0.3 hours, a third of that was loading, another third in options, and the rest started causing me actual mental and physical pain. [b]TL:DR[/b] It's a buggy disaster with absolutely no polish whatsoever. It's the kind of bad that only someone trying can achieve. They're still patching it which almost makes me feel bad for what I'm about to say, but they're asking for money which immediately negates those feelings. [h1]Let's go down the list of usual elements that bring a game together![/h1] [b]Gameplay:[/b] Perhaps the worst part. Floaty, spinny, jerky movement. Teleporty, unresponsive, weightless combat. Ships control like cars with a worse turning radius. [b]Writing:[/b] I couldn't stomach the game long enough to see much. The "story" introduction cutscene was generic. Our character has no introduction. The first character we meet is what amounts to an MMO quest giver without a personality...

This game feels like the spiritual successor to the classic Sid Meier's Pirates (which is one of my all time favorite games). There is plenty of land and sea to explore to find loot or combat. The combat system is a little difficult to figure out at first but once you get the hang of it, its very satisfying to chop[ your foes in half. It has a similar open world feel to the elder scroll/witcher franchise, which are also some of my personal favorites. My only complaint is the controls are a little stiff but overall I see significant potential in this game, especially at this price point. I feel like I am just beginning to dip my toes into what the game has to offer and I'm looking forward to the secrets this Indie game holds within.

This game does not work,it crashes immediately when you press play.so until its fixed i don't reccomend

glitchy beyond all belief

Ha ha ha ! Don't bother. It's worse than what reviews describe. Utterly unprofessional product. These kids can't code a basic GUI and they try to make a complex game. Then they have the audacity to ask money for it. And then they proudly advertise the game on their online resumes. Epic levels of delusion. The Save button does nothing. The autosave they say they wrote doesn't exist. I've tried and insisted, forced to start from scratch 6 times. Plenty more issues, of course... if I wanted to flog a dead horse. Seriously, don't bother.

The developers have a long way to go on this one, but at least Sail and Sacrifice seems to have a lot of potential. The graphics are decent and the environment is immersive to the point of saturating glare, just like Caribbean beaches. The character direction seems to be story driven, so there is no character creation. The main character seems to be some sort of tribal dude and the opening screen describes the basic plot with terrible voice narration (serously guys, get a sound booth or just make it text). The controls are the standard WASD and the devs are working on the controls. At one point, I hit a key that threw a grenade at my feet and I died. At another point, I hit a bug and it froze my character's pose. Restarting the game fixed it. Saving seems to be done automatically at checkpoints, like discovering settlements/towns/camps. I haven't crashed to desktop yet, but I haven't played that long either. I hope the developers add in icons for wind direction and speed because s...

Wow, what can i say. The worst game i have tried in the last couple of years. Very bad graphics, bad controls, bad fps. For short a very bad game. It would be better to take any game on a ps1 emulator and put in on high graphics and it would look better than this game anytime. Steer clear from this game as you would avoid the plague.

There is a good game hidden here, but it's broken as hell. First of all, optimisation is all over the place, does not matter what setting I use minimum or maximum, the same performance basically, maybe 5-10 fps difference in the 10-60fps region, if you are very high up and look at as much stuff possible the fps can drop down to 15-25, fluctuates a lot without even moving, prolly because of the foliage and maybe the pirates and natives fighting in the distance. Couldn't enjoy much of the story, seems to be about immortal pirates invading natives, something about 3 relics (first being a periscope). You can choose whatever faction you want right from the get go and seems maybe always change with what fanction you want to be with. Who you can recruit is limited by the fact if the have enough "respect"/know how towards you, or if they surrendered to you after you killed their 2-3 mates before, you can have both factions in your crew at the same time. You can fly around the same way like ...

I hadn't noticed this game come off of Early Access, it sure still plays like an Early Access game.
