The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was September 2024. Its cuts run 90 percent off as a rule. There have been 73 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. On the same math Among Trees ($14.99, scores 19) and House Builder ($19.99, scores 46) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 40 percent of the 389 reviews written there were positive, against 52 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
This game is newer then the Xbox 360 version and I'd still rather play the Xbox 360 version. They removed 90% of the stuff the game originally had and some how made this game so buggy it's unplayable after season 2. The machine on the boat like to quit working randomly to the point were you can walk threw them and see inside the machines textures. Things they removed and changed. The main boats from deadliest catch...
If i had the chance to go back in time 4-5 years, when i bought this game, i would have said to myself "Its one big bug now and it will STILL be one big bug in 4-5 years. Dont buy it and if you ever meet someone who was in dev team of this game..please ask them to stop!" This "game" is on sale for 1.19£ atm, and its STILL 50.00£ overpriced. DONT BUY IT!!!
Enjoyable, very small learning curve but incredibly fun to experience. Need decent ram which was my only issue previously. Cannot wait to jump back in after upgrading all my hardware so i can run it at full graphics experience vs mid tier...
