StoneTide: Age of Pirates

I understand early access does not mean you are getting a full fledged game but this game should not be early access in its current state. The gameplay has potential but the lack of direction given to the player and the various technical bugs that delete items in your inventory makes the game incredibly difficult to start (especially for new players that you want to impress). The hunger meter staying depleted after death is acceptable but there is little food so the player is dying from hunger almost a hundred percent of the time. I am going to refund the game in its current state but if there is improvement shown in a couple months I will pick up the game again.

imagine, if you will, you spent ten dollars on a map, which led to a oversized treasure chest filled with coins. and each singular coin represented an early access title infesting steam. now imagine each coin is crap, because early access is a curse, but every so often, while sifting though the fake coins, you come across a pristine, good one. one which is a keeper. one that, despite a few flaws or rough edges, is still worthy of your time. when you take that coin, and close the chest, you realize. this game is that coin. and the ten dollars you invested were worth it.

Alright, I'll start by saying that although this game is definitely an early build it already lends itself very well to the concepts and ideas that the developer has put forward. That being said, I've filed a few bug issues already via the Discord server that they've introduced for feedback. Surprisingly the developer has offered almost immediate responses to even the silliest of questions I've had about the game, and feedback regarding bugs I've experienced. The developer themselves has even gone so far as to directly address questions and complications I had experienced learning how to play. In a market being flooded with Early Access shovel-ware, abandon-ware, and games that are barely past the point of concept this game stands out for having been released in a state where many mechanics that are rough but at least already in the game and functional with a little bit of fiddling. I'm quite confident that this game has a bright future ahead of it in which this develops into a shiny gem of an indie title. Only time will tell, but I remain firm that I believe the game has a bright future ahead of it especially with the personality and dedication of the developer.

This is by far the worst game on steam do not buy this garbage waste of money. You will get cancer from this game.

Been playing this game for a couple days now and I gotta say it's been a real joy. Despite the bugs, it seems very promising with lots to expand on. For a $10 early access title, I say its well worth it and I look forward to seeing what this game will have to offer in the future.

game's great, glad I waited as long as I did. There bit of a learning curve but that's what the wiki is for.

good to play with friends, has some bugs like that does not let you open the settings in the main screen

This game is fun and it has aloth of potential. It need some work but i didnt play much because i just buy it. But creater if you read this go on with this game it is realy good.

Great game! It's very unique and enjoyable :)

Great concept and a great game, the devs always updating and fixing bugs when you ask them about it on discord. I like fighting the ghost admiral boss lots of fun.
