Age of Water

This game started off very good, but they screwed it up in the second season by locking everything behind a multiplayer mission, now the have changed the energy rating on ships engines and generators so it harder to build a functioning ship even with heaps of extra parts.

As of 23-06-2025 new patch pretty much ruined game for any long time player and invalidating there many hours of grind for ships, weapons and upgrades, alienating the few remaining players.

The game has a really unique theme and relaxing vibe, but the mechanics...... like researching to unlock stuf... feel a bit like an old-school RPG slave system. Still, it’s a really fun and one of a kind experience.

I was thinking about jumping back into the game but they trashed it with their recent power update, everyone's builds are the same because they cant afford anything but generators to power weapons.

Game continuously crashes. Done everything I can to get this 2#$#$%# game running to avail. POC game.

Depending on how you play, the quests will keep you busy for 30-40 hours, or even 50 hours if you take your time. The last few quests are also quite difficult and you have to see how you manage to complete them. The endgame is unfortunately very bad. Up until yesterday, lots of players met up with the world boss Dreadreaper. He spawns every 40 minutes far in the north of the map. Since today, that hasn't worked anymore. We once saw him spawn by chance far in the west of the map and with only 2, 3 or 4 players he is practically impossible to defeat. Since the in-game global chat does NOT work and the boss is only shown when you are relatively close, you can't communicate or coordinate. This has made the last task you had in the game impossible, a disgrace. Oh, and if you like playing co-op with friends in a group, you can forget about that in some missions/quests! Unfortunately, you can steal your friend's objectives (kill steal).

Fun game to chill out and play. You dont have to take things seriously and if you die its not a huge impact. Ship upgrade system needs a rework because unless youre a premium player its a hell of a grind.

Much better then Water World, just which more people were playing the game.

Really nice game, good concept, shinigami approved

Really fun game. Most of the early progression I have seen so far is locked behind the quests so you cant really get far by just sandboxing which bothered me just a tiny bit. Other then that it is a solid game.

Honestly i have had a lot of fun with this game and it has potential to be much more. the pvp events are plenty, lots of good quests and side quests with many stories, lots of Easter eggs if you know where to look, and lots of big pve battles for single ship or your whole party. Tho there has been a few issues that need to be addressed. First is the in game chat. it does not work at all, second food is really hard to come by.(fishing doesn't seem to give much if any at all), third is fiber has no good way to farm it like the other resources and you need a ton of it. there are probably more but those are the issues i see the most. Ill definitely keep playing and i hope they will eventually be fixed.

Easy to learn fun to play. Customize and fight with your ships as a pirate or police. Multiplayer open world sandbox.

The game is really fun but I can't overlook the stability issues that can damage hardware. I play with two others we all get the same thing with various RTX cards. Graphic drivers crash leaving you a black screen and no way to recover no Alt+F4 or anything. It will also lock up the whole PC. These issues only have one fix. Hard reboot that could blow up your whole OS in the process. They really need to fix this.

I’m usually not an enjoyer of these kinds of games but this is quickly becoming my after work chill game‍

ship modifications are one of the things that make this game good, and fun.‍

This game reminds me of crossout with the building of your boats minus outrageous pay to win. So far i've been having a blast getting new new boat frames and trying out different builds on each of them. I'm excited to see if there's an end game, the boats later on are massive, and same goes for the weapons. Overall id say a solid 7/10

June update ruined the game. It was quite enjoyable before the update but now i don't want to play. There wasn't really anything wrong before the update. Just adding more quests or additional content would have been way better.

An interesting opening world, a mix of Rust, Tarkov, Stalker, and probably something from the mobile games of the mid-2000s. At this stage of the game, we can definitely say that this is an extremely promising project. It's worth paying attention and playing for a few evenings, waiting for new mods and playing again for a few more evenings. In any case, I recommend it to all lovers of crafting and open worlds. As a bonus, a cool picture.

Has improved from when i first played it takes awhile to build up buts gets better and more consuming

If you love ships, Crossout, or post apocalyptic settings buy this its super fun. The customization is amazing, I like that PVP is a choice and that you see other players and they actually help you take down larger ships instead of just watching you sink. The sinking mechanics are cool (hold to much cargo, cant hold as much water). Only big change I would make is better tutorials not necessarily a whole intro one but more a guide of features. I had to learn things off other players and YouTube. Simple things too that I just didn't know existed because it never told me. Even using an anchor I learned because I was changing controls and just saw it in there (maybe they told me and I missed it but I don't think so). No pay to win and I hope it stays that way. Gaijin isn't known to keep it that way but if they do allow the currency purchases in the future please only be cosmetic (there are 2 currencies and a shop for the second currency but no micro transactions yet, but you know what that usually means). There are minor things I hope they add and tweak like crew customizing but these are more wants than needs. I am obviously not at the end game yet so I may update this later but I hope it stays amazing for me.

Lots of bugs but I’m happy with how proactive the developers are on fixing them, my main issue is already fixed so positive for me‍

Build your ship from trash and destroy the world! Or what's left of it.

no way to report people. Unstable61004 ruined a missions by dunking the NPC under water

an epic survival adventure where you can craft, do quests, explore and have fun :)‍

An honest review after 50 hours Imagine you're thrown right into Kevin Costner's "Water World" where your ship is your life. That's Age of Water. A mobile weapons platform you build from ships scavenged throughout your game life. (And maybe a bit of channeling your inner pirate lol) Now imagine that each bit of progression makes you feel stronger, your time is not wasted, your efforts are bearing fruit... and this is where things get a bit choppy (Nautical pun, I couldn't resist) The Good: Progression is NOT locked behind a PvP wall. There is so much PvE content that it will literally delete hours from your clock you will not notice. (Frustrated, YES! But we'll get there) Crafting, Looting, Questing, some kid friendly "Eye candy" and hilarious dialog that will just make you shake your head. Yes, it's AI generated and it's okay, not great, but okay. Some mispronounced words or completely wrong words lol (See, hilarious!) The Bad: Progression... "But wait, you listed that as a Good Thing...What's up?" Glad you asked! See, there is not much of a tutorial in Age of Water, and what IS explained is done so very quickly and basically with absolutely NO hand holding after your first few missions. Now the real kicker... Be ready to remake your character just as you think you've finally got things figured out because you will make a mistake (Hopefully not as bad as what I've just experienced) and have to restart your character at least once, me personally..this will be my 3rd restart. "Dude!? Why!? Finish one!" That's the Bad.. I can't.. The leveling system is also linked to your tech research (I told you, there is crafting so YES you will have to research tech) The Main Story and Tech Quests are very loosely linked. I say this as a negative because I do not believe that ANY game should allow a new player to completely lock themselves out of their tech tree due to playing content. Especially content with NO WARNING! Overall I will give this game a positive review because I truly do enjoy it and am having a great time. Even taking part in PVP battles that I normally would avoid in a competitive environment. In AoW; it's actually Fun! What's not fun is being punished for doing a quest chain. (I'm literally locked at tier 2 of 4 because of it and thus, restarting) There simply isn't enough information about the game mechanics and the most recent "Beginner" friendly stuff you're going to find is a few months old. If you're up for that risk. If you don't mind making a mistake and having to potentially lose everything you farmed as well as ships you've collected then Absolutely give this a full broadside for fun! If you're not up for the risk of making a mistake that forces you to restart a character with "Future knowledge" (If I could go back knowing what I know now kinda thing) Then you might want to avoid this one. Art Style/Visuals/Optimization 10/10 (This game runs on Ultra on a Ryzen 3 and a nVidia GT 1030 with 0 lag or Frame drops) PvE Content - 8/10 (You're not giving any type of difficulty notice or slider. You'll learn that lesson Quickly!) PvP Content - 6/10 (There are only 2 PvP events currently, but it's fun, even for a "Newb") Overall - 8/10 Could the systems in-game use a bit more, I'll call it New Player appeal, Yes! I'm not asking for you to hold my hand but at the very least a "Level Recommended" and warnings on potentially character breaking (Not Game Breaking, you can still play you just can't progress) missions would be very VERY nice to have.

I am thoroughly entranced by this somewhat underwhelming game that kinda fits all categories at once.

Beautiful environments and actually cool story‍

I've been looking for a game just like this for so long and somehow, despite my constant searching, this game has alluded me. Loving it so far.
