Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reviews: players who enjoy the sailing, trading and nostalgia recommend it, but many object to the mobile-style design and paid progression.

Many players enjoy the open-sea sailing, long-distance trading and naval combat, and several say it revives the feel of the older Uncharted Waters games. Some praise the story, the ship variety and the way the game lets them play at their own pace. The most common complaints are paid progression: late-game power, admirals and some events feel locked behind spending, and some reviewers describe the game as a cash grab. Many others criticise the grind, slow sailing, a menu-heavy interface built for phones, and an unclear economy. Several players report account and login problems, and some say the trade balance favours automated or idle play. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, mostly over monetisation and the removal of the gacha system, which some players welcome.

Praised

  • Sailing and exploration

    Players enjoy sailing across a large open world, exploring distant regions and seeing how the map and trade routes fit together.

    Many players
  • Trading and ship variety

    Long-distance trade, buying low and selling high, and a wide range of ships and fleet building are repeatedly called rewarding.

    Many players
  • Nostalgia for the series

    Players who knew the older Uncharted Waters games say this one brings back their feel, with familiar music and a similar story.

    Some players
  • Deep, flexible gameplay

    Players say the many ways to upgrade ships, mates and admirals, and to choose a playstyle, make the game engaging for years.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Paid progression

    Players say late-game strength, admirals and some story or event access are locked behind spending, which they find unfair.

    Many players
  • Grind and slow sailing

    Players report long waits during sailing, repetitive tasks and heavy grinding for materials and money that slow progress.

    Many players
  • Cluttered mobile-style interface

    Reviewers find the menus overwhelming, with many notifications, currencies and claim steps, and say the design feels built for phones.

    Many players
  • Account and stability problems

    Players report login failures, account linking that does not work, lost events and sudden losses that they feel were caused by bugs.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who like sailing, trading and open-world exploration, and who accept free-to-play systems, will find a lot to do.
Who should skip it
Players who dislike grinding, paid progression or phone-style menus should skip it, or try the older games instead.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours are more critical, citing late-game paid power, admiral costs and a thin economy, while players under 20 hours mainly praise the sailing and nostalgia.
