(I was an Early Access reviewer, but I've decided to completely rewrite my review after reading a lot of the negative reviews)

I've put upwards of 60+ hours into this game. This top-down, boat driving, zee-beast killing, crew eating, government betraying, honey smuggling game is honestly one of the most fun games I've ever played. The negative reviews complain about it being too punishing, having you grind for hours to get ♥♥♥♥ money only to get killed and lose it all. All those reviewers clearly don't get the point of the game.

Yes, you will die. A lot. However, the way you get better at this game is by doing the actual missions and quests given to you at various ports. From one port (Venderbight) alone you can earn over 16,100 echoes (dollars) and that's one of the closest ports to home in the game.
Not to mention, once you have enough cash, you can write a will, ensuring that any heirlooms and cash you've stored at home will be passed down to your next captain, allowing your next life to be much much easier at the start.

People who complain about not being able to make enough cash in this game have not put any thought into this game.

I will continue to play this fabulous game and I will continue to lose captains to the unforgiving unterzee.

10/10
