The fishing is elegantly simple
The creepy eldritch setting really makes this ocean terrifying
It?s basically a Pokémon game in open water
I love the game within a game so far as inventory management goes

Nailed the ?atmospheric horror? tone
A stunningly realised lo-fi, low-poly world that is incredibly rich and always gorgeous to look at
Traversal in your boat is a dreamy experience across the seas. Calming to a degree, and maddening elsewhere
Interlocking mini-games that make up a tight gameplay loop keep you coming back for more
A fantastic story with a mild amount of choice and sometimes too much freedom, but exceptionally written
An incredible soundtrack that is worthy of an award at the end of the year
The spatial ?Resi 4? item management aspect is fun and at times challenging (BSG says it didn't borrow it from there, specifically)

After you complete everything the game dries up quickly
Not enough diversity in how you can upgrade your boat
The time to upgrade versus some of the Pursuits added doesn?t marry up well
More settlements would have been great
No New Game+ after you finish which, when you do, you?ll know is a missed opportunity

Immediate and addictive gameplay...
Disturbing and immediately fascinating atmospheres.

... But after a while, it becomes repetitive and mechanical.
The narrative and the imagination in general do not densify, they even lose their meaning.

Such a great collection of art styles.
A solid set of mechanics that make hours of play easy to fly by.
That psychological horror theming surrounding you at every moment.
Some great accessibility.

Unique and accomplished concept. Entertaining central gameplay loop. Graphics and sound bring the strange world to life.
Missing customisation options for your boat. The spookiness ends up taking a bit of a back seat.

Very short, lacks content.
