Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 21, 2026)
A chaotic co-op boat trip built for laughs with friends, this early release scores 63.3 but is weighed down by bugs.
👍 Strengths
Multiplayer ranks 72nd of 642, and 65 reviews say it is a great time with friends, with some calling it hilarious and best with a full crew of four. 52 find it fun for a couple of evenings, and a few enjoy slapping other players around or feeding mushrooms to teammates. 5 praise the visuals, and some like the nicely designed areas, the ship and the simple fishing mechanic. Several point to the low price, and Pricing & Fairness ranks 424th of 1399.
👎 Where it falls short
Tech & Support appears in 67% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1363rd of 1399. 69 reviews report bugs and glitches, such as a broken harpoon, the boat launching into the air, falling through textures and progress lost to checkpoint saves. 14 say it runs poorly and needs optimization. 11 find the controls clunky, and some point to boat handling, poor visibility and jumping, while a few find the inventory cumbersome since items are carried one at a time. Gameplay ranks 1337th of 1396.
