It's there if you want it, but easily avoided and no barrier to enjoying the game. In 4 years of playing this game I have never once been engaged in player to player combat. However, with the right oversight and guidance it's an incredibly complex and rewarding time sink that boasts cutting edge visuals and an unprecedented depth to it's game systems.Īnother reviewer complained about 'forced PvP'.

It's certainly not a light game for younger audiences. Gamer of 40 years here, and father to sub 10 y/o sons.

In short the games monetization is predatory, and quite frankly in my honest opinion as someone with 800+ hours into the game I can say the practices in this game should be illegal.ĭo not play this game, it is a money sink, it is not fun. The issues with the game do not end there the list of issues is so long, this review would take hours to fully write.

This game Deserves an Adult Only rating for those reasons.įurther more the games server stability is not good, you will have a lot of instances where you have a period of full invulnerable and players and monsters can still hurt you during those periods of 100% full damage immunity, and this is a very consistent issue, also anything related too the open ocean content has high amounts of Desync and latency problems, you could be sailing out on the ocean and suddenly you die and your boat sinks seemingly for no reason, than 30 seconds later you see a boat sail past you glowing red because a player decided to kill you because they wanted too, and depending on the quality of your ship and sailors can cost you billions in repairs or 60+ USD effectively setting you back. They have a Character in the game who is essentially a child you can play as that players can just murder on site if they so choose too, and the character specializes in life skills, which is basically just Physical labor, so the devs actively promote violence on children, and Child labor, as well as predatory monetization and gambling like practices, character class the Shai.Ĭharacter outfits in the game are very revealing some outfits closing in on borderline nudity, the fact you can have your character including that child like character by the way to be able to run around in their under wear. The games community is extremely toxic, always talking about politics, always talking about sexual things with zero moderation from the Dev Team. Progression takes Weeks if not months of time, with no meaningful impact when people buy 30$ to instantly make almost 1 billion in game currency which means absolutely nothing in this game unless you have hundreds of billions, which will cost you thousands of IRL dollars. The Game uses very heavy monetization that is heavily revolved around gambling away items purchased with real life money, and is extremely pay to win.
