Ships show up as generic blobs without any distinctive markings and it’s incredibly difficult to see exactly where you’re supposed to be going. While fairly basic radar is available, it’s likely that you have a better tool in your car or cellphone right now.

For a landlubber like me, this took a lot of getting used to, but anyone with a moderate amount of experience at sea will be able to jump right in.ĭuring its search for realism, Ship Simulator Extremes‘ development team failed to come up with a quality navigation system for players to use.
The controls themselves were fairly precise however it will take a bit of time until you’re able to properly adjust to the way physics will play out in water. That means their inertia will result in sluggish controls with swooping turns, forcing you to plan ahead so you don’t accidentally overshoot your target. The boats react very much like their real-life counterparts. Ship Simulator Extremes is a simulator first and foremost. Allowing us to live out these fantasies without being burdened with the more menial aspects found in difficult career fields is the entire appeal of the genre. When we learned that being a pilot is a lot closer to driving a bus through the sky than to our expectations of flying through rings of fire, most of us lost interest. Just about everyone I knew growing up wanted to be a pilot at one time or another. When you’re going to make a game based around trying to get as close as humanly possible to the real thing, you’re going to run into some issues.
Simulation games are always going to be a mixed bag.
