Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I had high hopes for this. It has turned into a multiplayer game, requiring you to join with others. I don't play that way. I wanted a single player game.
Simulation meets Arcade. Vorab: Seafarer kann tatsächlich Spaß machen, aber nur wenn man keine Simulation erwartet, denn dafür sind die Schwerpunkte falsch gesetzt. Zur Erklärung: Selbst Schiffe mit Azipod - eine eingetragene Marke von ABB - fahren sich nicht wie auf Asphalt. Zwar spricht der Azipod schneller auf Ruderkommandos an, jedoch nicht wie in einem Arcade Spiel. Fahrwassertonnen gibt's bei Stettach und sonst? Untiefentonnen? Die Tonnen sind auch nicht auf der Seekarte eingezeichnet. Ein absolutes MUSS! Positionslichter anderer Schiffe ei Nacht? Nö, wozu auch. Eine Fähre, die nebenbei immer Vorfahrt hat, stoppt mitten en Route, damit ich vor ihrem Bug passieren kann. Collision Regulations? Noch nie von gehört. Crew, die tatsächlich Aufgaben erledigt wie Deckwash und Pönnen, kurz gesagt das Schiff in Stand halten, gibt es nicht. Die stehen einfach nur doof rum. An den Mooring stations auf See. Aus Gameplay verstehe ich, dass man viele Aufgaben übernimmt, die man normalerweise nicht übernimmt. Kein Offizier fasst die Twistlocks im Betrieb an, besteigt irgendwelche Ladekrane oder schlägt Leitungen an und ab. Aber alles dieses sind Aufgaben, die anders verpackt werden müssten und nur am Anfang vorkommen dürften. Offiziere delegieren die Aufgaben und davon gibt es an Bord genug. Allein das Lademanagement mit dem Ballast wäre schon eine echte Aufgabe ohne, dass der Kran betreten werden müsste. Aufgaben für die Deckhands müssen verteilt werden. Z.B. Schäkel kennzeichen, Lashings farblich kodieren, Rostkloppen und Pönen. Squarelines flechten etc. Das Anlegemanöver könnte man etwas realistischer gestalten ohne den Trockenmatrosen zu überfordern. Spring an Land, dann die Achter und Vorleinen. Bitte nicht falsch verstehen ich erwarte keinen absoluten Realismus. Vielmehr eine Annäherung an die Realität. Derzeit lässt sich konstatieren, dass die Schiffstypen existieren. Die Wetter Simulation jedoch treibt mir die Weißglut in die Adern. Das HUD sagt die Windgeschwindigkit zeigt einen Orkan an. Also 12 bft. Die See sagt, ach nö ich fühl mich eher wie an einem lauen Sommertag auf der Nordsee. Also 5- 6 bft. Das passt nicht zusammen! Ein Orkan peitscht die See so richtig auf. Da gibt es Wellenberge und Brecher. Keine Dümpelwellen. Im Großen und Ganzen ist es kein schlechtes Spiel mit einer relativ guten Grundlage. Als Simulator möchte ich es aber nicht bezeichnen, das es mir dazu noch zu Arcade lastig ist. Mit 18,5 Kn ballert man nicht durchs Breakwater. Wenn wir das seinerzeit aus Jux und Dollerei im Simulator machten, kamen der erhobene Zeigefinger und sehr deutliche Worte. Vieles fehlt derzeit noch. Manches ist falsch dargestellt. Und anderes schlichtweg nicht berücksichtigt. Das alles lässt sich ändern. Nicht unbedingt schnell und einfach, aber das Potenzial ist vorhanden. Grundsätzlich ist es ein Spiel, dass wenn man seine Erwartungen herunterschraubt tatsächlich Spaß machen kann.

I think instead of adding features they should first focus on gameplay, half of the features are not fully worked out. Bad optimazion, broken campaign, arcade like repetetive gameplay. Hope they will improve because the game has potential.
I don't understand what the game wants. I sail into a harbour (Fort Westport) in the Herbert and get the message that I've discovered it, but when I go to my Tablet, that harbour is still locked and I can't view the available cargoes. The only two harbours that are unlocked are Mettington (which has Oil on offer at 165) and Sandham (which wants Oil but only at 154) so I would lose money on each cargo. In earlier sessions I've ended up soft-locked at the end of a mission where the last step is "Return to Ship" when I'm already on the ship and no matter where I go it won't tick off that last step. I had to create a new Profile and start all over again to progress. I managed to rescue/repair a stranded boat, but later could not manage to rescue shipwrecked people from the water. No matter how close I appeared to be from the helm, when I got to the side of the ship the lifebelts would not throw out far enough! I eventually threw about a dozen overboard in the general vicinity and then ran over one of the survivors and managed to pick him up by fluke (perhaps knocking a lifebelt into him?). I think I would enjoy the game if I could only work out what I'm doing wrong (or why what I'm doing doesn't work)
Spent $15 to play crane simulator. Remove us having to do the loading or some way to speed it up bc i spent 25 minutes just loading containers.
Runs like straight poop from a butt and it's not a simulator BUT if you are looking for an arcadey ship game then this is perfect. if you are looking for a simulator then go for ships at sea or stormworks
wouldn't recommend until they improve optimisation, it doesn't run well on any settings regardless of pc specs
No wonder the mixed reviews... Many people complain the simulation is not that realistic, engines behave and perform unrealistically and the sea itself also has some generous nature to it. But that was fine by me, after all, I was looking for something more relaxed, yet detailed enough to enjoy, and seeing the screenshots with the interiors of these big ships, thinking it would mean I could manage the ships with proper immersion, it quickly got my attention! But as it turns out, most of most ships are just empty, and there's not much to do (steer and some vague QTE maintenance in the engines, that's all). Not even going "for a drive" feels fun in the game, is little more than a screensaver honestly. But "no worries" I thought to myself "it's EA and I am sure the devs have plenty in store!". Alas... the game leaves EA in less than a month, so this game is clearly not getting any better. I am glad it happened just within my refund window!
This game should be called Seafarer: The Cargo Loading Sim because that's what you'll be doing 90% of the time if you want to sail the larger ships. Very repetitive gameplay and very slow progression when it comes to increasing level, reputation, and earning money. The game needs passenger ships and passenger missions. The graphics are okay. Ships and ports look good, even the water looks okay. The wake your ship makes looks absolutely horrible. I want to like this game because there really aren't any modern ship simulators out there but this game is just not fun in it's current state. It feels more like a chore.
I was very happy at first. Then the problems started. There is no way to see in the dark. An essential part of any seafarers equipment, is a torch. There are none. In the pitch black, below deck, how is one supposed to see? I have also had other bugs and reading many posts, it appears the game is full of bugs the further one progresses. I am not wasting my time finding out. When the game has been fixed, and is playable without game breaking bugs. I may return.
