After impulsively buying and playing this game, It looks like it has the potential to becoming an excellent ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.

In its simplest form, Salt throws you into a water abundant world full of scattered islands inhabited by Pirates and various Flora and Fauna. You'll find yourself darting island to island Gathering, Looting and Killing to upgrade your Tools, Weapons and Armor. The game does get somewhat repettitive (from what ive played of the game) but grinding up to cool new weapons and rare armor works as a neat incentive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Positives: 1: Sailing. Big boat or small, manning a ship and sailing it island to island is amazing. Not to mention sprinting
and jumping off your ships deck onto an island and charging into a pirate camp with your ship full
mast, sailing into the distance, is even more amazing.

2: Customisable Ships. With smaller ships you can throw some torches for extra light, or storage crates. For
bigger ships you can put up weapon plaques, chests, fire pits and even a bed.

3: Armor/Tools/Weapons. There are an expansive variety of different armors, tools and weapons, all with
different uses and buffs to suit what you want. Most noticable are armor set
bonuses that can give out extra sailing or movment speeds.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Negatives: 1: 'Boat Menu'. As you work throught the game there are several different vessels you can craft, however
when you eventually craft a boat its saved to your 'Boat Menu'. After that, they pretty much
work as summonable mounts, useable at any time. Allthough its not a major issue, I feel like it
breaks the immersion of the game.

2: No death penalty. From what i've seen, theres no real death penalty with a regular playthrough and with
the mentioned Boat Menu theres no real detterant to staying alive. There is a Hardcore
setting for this game, so for now it has some optional difficulty curve.

3:Bottomless Inventory. Once again, as far as i've played there is no restrictions to how many items you can
carry. Besides the point of having too much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clogging up your inventory,
the storage crates and chests and not much use.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expectations: 1: Misc Customisation. I would love to be able to stick down flagposts with a sigil and colors that i've
picked out to represent my character, More of a finished product thing, but would
still be great.

2: Additional Fauna: Im enjoying hunting down deer with my bow and arrow, though it would be nice to see
some other smaller or larger game to hunt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Almost all my points are subject to change at this point in time, but I strongly urge people to give it a go. Its not too bad
for $15.00 and it will be great to see some of the additions and alterations they make in later patches.
