StoneTide: Age of Pirates

Amazing EA game and not only has the developer responded to all the questions in the forum and discord channel but they're constantly updating it which is great for an EA title.. Hopefully they will add sea monsters soon etc :D

The developer's claim that this game is out of early access and fully playable is incorrect. There are UI issues that make any form of control frustrating at best, and literally unplayable in windowed mode. Basic gameplay elements such as drinking water to keep you alive past the ten minute mark are presented in-game "lore friendly" ways with no actual help with control difficulty. There also doesn't seem to be any resource provided outside of the game that provides real help, and even random youtubers seem to hit the same wall at entry. Seafaring realtime RPGs are like, exactly my wheelhouse. I held on to this game for weeks and kept trying to get into it. And hey, maybe if you do manage to figure out what it wants you to do, there really is a fun game hidden in there. But this game having a "Mostly Positive" rating in its current state just feels dishonest.

Super Buggy

Has the potential. The only downside so far is the lack of content, but its early access so its understandable.

Early access but I just love the gameplay! xD

Wow I love pixel art games! The gameplay is amazing and this has a ton of potential, definitely worth a play!

Very cool game!

Ships are so unique! Great game to play with friends!

Game was very cool, i'm a big fan of pixel art games. i recommend you hire a mercenary as soon as you have 100 gold because the mid level monsters can whack you pretty quickly. overall had a good experience

"Collected wood, crafted a ship, killed a ghost pirate, good game."
