Sailing The Winds

This game is basically a cheap [i]Dredge[/i] rip-off, but without the Lovecraftian spin and without any of the charm [i]Dredge[/i] has. The fishing minigame isn't terrible, but really basic, with zero variation. The characters are uninteresting. And the quests are just boring fetch quests. Refunded. Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Sailing The Winds is a very poorly made "job simulator", if you think about the kind of gameplay you get from games like Stardew Valley where you reveal a narrative through various minigames, except this game just has one activity, fishing. Except done really badly. And don't get me wrong, there's a market for these kinds of games... Stardew Valley itself was tremendously successful, and it was made with pixelcrap. That's like winning the olympics blindfolded and with both hands tied behind your back. If you're going to get lazy and phone in the most important aspect of the game, the visuals, you better have damn amazing gameplay going on. This game does not have damn amazing gameplay going on. There's an overwhelming amount of mediocre Visual Novel/E-book style cutscenes in this game. The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game design.. "Show, don't tell." So you'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written VN text cutscenes because the developers couldn't work out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and decided instead it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time. We're here to play games, not read through hours of garbage intersituals. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. It's unclear if these are flipped assets, the quality is just so low across every aspect of this game. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 130,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 130,000+ games on Steam? Sailing The Winds has the laughable, eye-watering price of around $6 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. For comparison, the $6 asking price for this game could get you games like "Metro Exodus", "Disco Elysium" or "Mirror's Edge". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

Yes.

Жалкое подобие DREDGE.

　簡単にいうと、自分の船でいろんな島の人の依頼（お使い）をうけながら、釣りをしてお金を稼いだり、宝の地図でお宝探ししたり、その金で自分の船を強化したりしていく作品。 　船に乗って釣りをするというと、個人的には真っ先にDREDGEとかを想像する（というか自分は最初想像していた）かもしれないが、深夜を航行しても怪異は発生しないし奇妙な魚は釣れない、SAN値は変化しないし船をぶつけても損傷はしない。釣りの種類が竿釣りのみといったところか。 　船の操作は似てるぐらい。その釣りも装備が揃うと一切必要がなくなるのが悲しい。（実績などは現時点ではないし） 　チュートリアル系が全くなくかなり不便。キーコンフィングなども存在していない。また、魚を釣るためにはその魚の許可証が必要で、許可証（ライセンス）がないと海上警察に拿捕され、許可証がない魚を回収されてしまう。最初はそもそもどこにどの魚が住んでいるかさっぱりわからないのに、許可証が必要とか言われても困る。魚の種類も結構いるし。（許可証自体は安価ではあるのだが）　 　ただ、一度釣るとMAP上に表示される。またトロール船のNPCが直接魚のいる位置をお金を払うことで教えてくれる。 　自分のPCだけかもしれないが、警察や一部NPCに話しかけられると選択肢が選択できなくなり詰む。個人的にこれがクリティカルで、警察は最悪許可証を持ってない魚を釣らないということで回避できるが、一部NPC（海上飛行機のそばに行くと話しかけてくるNPC等）に話しかけられると確定で選択肢を操作できない（カーソルが出ない）ので操作不能に陥る。　回避方法は、話しかけた直後に選択肢に色がついてるときにEキーを押すと、それが確定ボタン代わりになるのか回避できる。 　移動速度は速くないのに、広めのＭＡＰをお使いであっちこっちたらいまわしにされる。釣りを売りにしてるのに中後半は不要になったりとなんとなく中途半端。 　とはいえ、雨や雷など多彩な天候の中を気軽に航海できるしイベントも割と面白いものが多いため、時間つぶし的な遊びも可能。イージーモードのDREDGEと思えば・・・まぁ、なんとか。お値段が手ごろな点もいいところか。 　というわけで、おすすめに入れておこうと思います。レビュー失礼しました。追加コンテンツなど楽しみにしています。

Классная игра. Катаешься себе на кораблике. Рыбу ловишь. Я правда только начал, но говорят там можно найти инопланетянина :) Графика красивая, погода меняется, музыка приятная. Советую!)

Очень странная игра. Так и не понял как вытянуть рыбу.

Просто рыбку ловишь на корабле, но в добавок есть квесты. Графика приятная, музыка прикольная, ещё постоянно меняется погода со сменой дня и ночи.
