« Pretty coat of paint but not much depth for a game about the ocean. Side quests go nowhere and the actual fishing and dredging are comprised of maybe 3 quick time events over and over again. If that can entertain you for 10 hours, go ahead. »

« I was really starting to like this game right up to the dredge mini game. The fishing mini game was fun and you did not have to be good at it to play. However, the dredge mini game is a game stopper. »
