Okay, so gameplay: very simple, any computer can run this which is a plus from me.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Rather than delivering a heavily scripted narrative, the game focuses on creating stories through player decisions and unexpected events.

The simplified visuals allow imagination to contribute heavily toward immersion.

The soundtrack strengthens atmosphere further through nautical themes that support exploration and long-distance sailing.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Ok, the only problem is that in the beginning, you don't really have many options available, so let me put this straight: Unless you're insanely lucky (or very effective when returning to the "Main Menu" before things go wrong), get used to dying; and just to add insult to injury, you only get experience points after you successful travel, so if you keep bumping into pirates or enemy nations, say goodbye to all your progress (and "hello" to messages in a bottle).
