Harbours lack discerning features, instead offering a very boxy and repetitive shoreline from which to sail.
Even on highest settings, most ships look a little too flat and shiny to be realistic, and actual detail is a lot lower than expected. Utilising a new water simulation system, initial impressions of SSE weren’t too shabby, until you start to look at anything with some scrutiny. The shame is, then, that the final product falls between two opposing stools to create a title that probably pleases no one.īut first – the presentation. Whether taking a Greenpeace vessel out on the prowl for wrongdoers, piloting a tug in a harbour to assist the docking of cruise liners, or simply cruising tourists around some interesting coastline, it’s clear that developers VSTEP have really looked to add to previous titles by really pushing the envelope for realistic ship piloting. Now, it’s only fair this is taken in context – SSE is a realtime ship piloting simulator, featuring a variety of realistic ships and situations for the player to enjoy, meaning the actual market for it is a little limited to shipping buffs. And in this case, Ship Simulator Extreme is clearly my penance for recent hits. However, at times, we have to review things that are the other end of the scale – limited, turgid titles with very little to offer the average gamer or their friends.
Sometimes, being a reviewer is a joy – getting your hands on a copy of the latest blockbuster before anyone else is both thrilling and allows us a sense of importance. When the ship goes down, you’d better be ready….Įurgh.
