Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 Reviews

After giving it a good shot plus a few DLCs, its safe to say- its a hate love relationship. i can spend hours on one ship- yielding no where near enough money for the tool upgrade + next ship. BUT!!!! I love that the mechs are so easy to learn and its very repetitive, not a lot of brain goes into game time and its a "watch a show and boom boom a ship" time. highly recommended to people who enjoy this game style. it can get buggy at times, nothing too major that makes it unplayable for me. get it while its on sale- the dlcs are where the money is.

The garbage sort mini game at the end is beyond frustrating. Did the Fuso contract, I must have been at it for 30/40 mins, starting to make mistakes just through sheer boredom - tedious, frustrating, never ending. No way to exit out of it without just closing the game down. I'm done.

Mostly decent, but so glitchy! The latest one, and the most annoying - its reset all my progress, almost the largest ship, all equipment on level 8, back to square one. Previous glitches have been rectified by the company, fair play to them, even if its taken a while, but this one's just one too many for me. Its depressing.

i read about someone losing their save and i mainly remember it being about their tool levels. i got literally everything except the achievements reset to the beginning and everything is gone. i was messing with dx12 and xess as the last major change, and accidentally opening the game in dx11 afterwards a few times, no idea if that's related to this. heed my warning, follow my advice; make a backup save of your progress, right click the game in your game list, left click "properties" on the menu that pops up, left click "installed files" on the menu that pops up, left click "backup game files", left click "browse", pick a folder, then left click "create backup". i hope this saves you. the game was decently enjoyable until this point, it was enjoyable enough to kill time, ran well enough to fit my tolerance level, it had some decent character to it but also appeared rough around the edges and there were some parts of it that APPEAR TO ME AS (i'm not definitively claiming them to be) ai generated and mismatched at times, referring to the contract character pictures and descriptions. i would have probably finished the entire game (idk about the dlcs) if it weren't for this. I was warned, now you have been warned. 4/10. (3.5/10? eh idk)

I have no explanation why I've played almost 60 hours of this game as of the time of this review but I have. Maybe it's the simple game play loop, maybe it's coming up with rube goldberg like ways to destroy things or my crippling OCD. Highly recommend.

This is a great podcast game, and that's the basis I recommend it on. For a podcast game I actually like this more than Hardspace: Shipbreaker. There is a lot of content here, so if you're looking for something that will last a while this is decent for that, especially if you get all the DLCs. And you might actually want to get all the DLCs, but I'll go into that more later. It can be a little buggy at times but I never really minded it. Some of the physics quirks are just part of the fun. I have a pretty good PC though, and I have a feeling that that makes a big difference, especially on some of the really big DLC ships. A lot of your time is spent hammering and sawing at structural points, and part of the fun is learning that you don't need to get as many of those as you think to break apart large parts of the ships. The ships did start to feel samey near the end of the base content, as mostly just big repetitive boxes, but the DLC ones are a lot more interesting. I'm not going to review the DLCs on their individual pages, but I'll summarize them here. One thing that makes me hesitant to recommend them on their own pages is that I don't know for sure if all of them work individually, and what I mean by that is since you have to spend money in the game to get a ship to work on, I don't know if the game gives you enough money to buy the bigger DLC ships without playing the smaller ones first. The DLCs can be broken up into similar pairs: 1. Warships & Submarines- these are simutaneously the most fun and most annoying ones. They have a lot of hazards that can be annoying to deal with, but it feels very rewarding to finally crack these things apart. Be careful where you place your containers because often times you need to break the floor below you before you can open up the ceiling, so if that's the case when you have a container down you won't be able to lift it out. I think the best time I had playing the game was when I did these ships. 2. Steel Giants & Floating Cities- These are more relaxed and closer to the base game, which actually felt a little disappointing. They are still more interesting than the ships in the main game. I'd say Floating Cities is the least essential. I think it justifies being the most expensive because it really will last you a while, but you'll want to make sure you want more of the same. It offers a new mechanic where there are safes that you can open with the lockpicking mechanic from Skyrim and modern fallouts, but it really adds nothing since it feels superfluous and there's nothing exciting about getting more money anyway.

Almost a year ago me and my friend bought this game to play together but put it down until they fixed the desync and floating objects issue. Even though its been almost a year, very little has changed, but now they're doing DLC? No no no, fix the base game before doing DLC.

Over 400 hours played. Great game for stress-free game play. They updated the game recently, and the game crashes constantly. It happens with every graphics stetting and with every version of Direct X. Way to screw over your player base. Uninstalled.

Too buggy to play. Tried to play online with friends. As soon as they used the saw, their tool disappeared from their hand and they got soft locked, leaving them unable to play unless they restarted their game. I then tried to play singleplayer. The game has crashed more than 5 times for me in the 2 hours played - the latest crash took no more than a minute after launching the game. There are no autosaves, so all of my progress was lost on each crash.

I would have recommended this game but my 150 hours of playtime and multiple DLC purchases are useless now. They changed something with the newest DLC where the game always crashes, like clock work 20 secs after opening. I used to enjoy the dismantling of ships but now i cant. I even gave the developers 3+ months of waiting to see if they would fix the issues but to no changes have occurred from my experience. whatever you do do not buy the newest Cruise ship DLC it will literally make the game unplayable
