The Real Review

It's a harsh, beautiful slog that splits people right down the middle. The gorgeous, realistic visuals of the northern seas are universally praised, but they're wrapped around a punishingly difficult and often tedious sailing game that many bounced off of. While the story about searching for your family gets a decent reception, the core gameplay loop, and especially its technical performance on PC and Xbox, is where most of the frustration lies, making it a tough sell for its price.
