The value story

The lowest price on record is $24.99, set in June 2026. In 61 days of price history it has never once been discounted.

On value it sits in the top 17 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 71 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Crusader Kings III ($49.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats House of Legacy ($14.99, scores 43).

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 346 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

What players say

I Like All The Playable Characters. I Like All the Story. I Like collecting all the items, ships, and discovery around the World. and also the Naval Combat is so Simple. but, some mission don't track well and it's make me confuse. Overall it's a good game. and I still play it.

Sailing Era is the best looking and the closest game you are going to find that's a new Uncharted Waters.
DyterrellRecommendedafter 28hJul 2026Read on Steam
inconsistent systems make a great looking game awful to play. the tutorials are bad or non existent. example starter Q: bring 25 wine from A to B. get to A, buy 8 wine (the max for your little ship), go to B. cant deliver needs 25 at once. adjust cargo space (after googling how to do that), max space is 12. cannot complete Q, FAIL correct answer? go to A, go to the tavern for Q and the game temporarily and magically...
