Salt 2: Shores of Gold

Salt 2 is a pirate-themed open world adventur, well adventure is very generous... This game is like a sandwich made of a piece of white bread and nothing else, blan and boring

Tolles Abenteuer spiel! setzt die Segel mit vielen verschiedenen schiffen wer abendteuer mag und einfach mal abschalten will ist hier genau richtig

Salt 2 is one of the least optimized games I’ve played in years. I’m running it on a 4070 with 64GB of RAM, and even on the lowest settings, the game still lags in places like I’m trying to run it off a stack of floppy disks. For a game built around exploration, the constant performance issues completely kill any sense of immersion. The jank goes way beyond frame rate. There’s clipping in random places, including something as basic as trying to get onto your own boat. You’ll clip in and out of the structure like the game can’t decide where the player model is supposed to be. NPCs mostly just stand around doing nothing, which makes the world feel empty and unfinished rather than alive. Progression also feels strangely balanced. Skills scale in bizarre ways so you can end up with something like level 70 herbalism while your mining is still level 2. Character creation is weak, giving you a grand total of three character choices, which feels incredibly thin for a modern adventure/survival RPG. The loading design may be the weirdest part. Why is there a fade-out and fade-in just to go up a ladder to a second floor of a building that I can already see? I’m moving two feet upward inside the same tiny building. Why can’t I just climb the ladder normally? I loved the first Salt, and there may be a decent idea buried somewhere underneath Salt 2, but the terrible optimization, clipping, lifeless NPCs, weird progression, limited customization, and bizarre loading choices make it feel unfinished. Until these issues are seriously improved, I can’t recommend it.

game can be demanding on the computer, graphics could be better and multiplayer setup is a mess. i personally prefer a game where it is easy to setup multiplayer instead of all players involved needing to make the exact same world with the exact same seed and than the "host" invites the players. graphics wise id expect more from the game instead of cheaply made 3d designing and believe the company could have done way better on designing if took the time and effort for it. as for the gpu it can some times be heavy on the gpu when hosting the game. had a few times the host crashed due to gpu issues. overall id say the game is only if that worth no more than $5 USD and that is on a high price rating. overall feel though is about $1-$2 worth of value for effort, issues and complications.

Мне всегда нравился Raft, и теперь я получил его продолжение но про пиратов - Salt 2. Это неспешная песочница, в которой я просто расслабляюсь. Если ищете великие баталии и продвинутую боёвку то вам не сюда, Salt 2 простенькая я бы даже сказал ламповая игра которая затягивает именно своей простотой. Багов пока не видел, и надеюсь не увижу ))

Wer Raft mag wird auch Salt 2 lieben. Die Entwickler wollten das der Spieler Spaß hat und entspannend die Welt kennen lernt. Etwas gekämpft wird auch aber es ist niemals unfair. Es ist pure Unterhaltung.

If you are a hardcore survival player please disregard this review as most survival games have similar systems. While there is initially a lot to do, the game does get repetitive. However, also with that said, as you level up, the world (and some of things you can find) do change. But the core systems are still very repetitive once you are a few hours in. I am still enjoying myself 36 hours in.

Very good game! It is simple and does what it says. Two-developer team! It has a consistent and cozy art-style and it runs really well on my mid-grade PC. It's a little barebones but it's not trying to do anything massive. Movement feels really nice. Combat is a bit one-dimensional but it works. Game is great for folks who like to get lost exploring and enjoy pretty sunsets with soothing tunes. My only wish is that it had on-land base building, but the ship customization is fun, and it just works! Hope it keeps getting updated over the years.

Oufff... there's a lot to say here. I forced myself to finish the main storyline and I probably shouldn't have. Salt2 is a very very basic game, in all aspect. Graphics, gameplay, world building, puzzles, it's game making like we did in the late 1990s early 2000s. If you are intimidated by videogames, are looking for something to get your feet wet, and the theme appeals to you, this game might be for you. The price is friendly too. In many ways it feels like a student project where the teacher forgot to tell them to stop. At no point are you going to forget you are playing a videogame. Everything is generated, fake and planted. Unique locations and named NPCs repeat all over the place, completely breaking suspension of disbelief. Ebony is a metal that you mine. The progression is the blandest possible, with only numbers going up and nothing changing. The ship are undifferentiated. The puzzles are spelled out and obvious. It's all fetch quests and kill quests. It's 95% sailing and walking. The world is empty and only exists for the player. Technically it is ok, and the ambiance has its moments with seagulls and sunsets. But if that's what you are looking for, turn to Black Flag or even Sea of Thieves. The absence of naval combat in a pirate game is just... Controller support is tedious an lazy, with use of a cursor even to select items in a list menu (main menu for example). If you actually enjoy the basic blandness of it though, there is TONS of content. Questlines upon questlines, side quests, deliveries, orders, random loot. None of it is meaningful, satisfying or differentiated, but there is a LOT of it. As a side not, always focus on quests. I did a lot of random exploring early and it slows down progression and acheives nothing, forcing you to revisit locations onces a quest inevitably send you where you are already been. So I sunk 48hours into this and I really wish I hadn't. I hope your time is more fruitful.

Great little game. Its not nonstop action, there's plenty of peaceful sailing where you can tend to your crafting or making food. However its not without its challenges such as fighting pirates, archers, undead creatures, etc. I like that you have to rely on your sextant to determine your location and an island is only marked on the map when you use the same tool on land. Your map and sextant will become your best friends to setting a course to your set waypoint on the map.
