Sail VR (early access review)

Sail VR is a swashbuckling adventure game that throws you headfirst into the world of high seas piracy, all in the immersive world of VR. Taking inspiration from titles like Sea of Thieves and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, Sail offers a unique blend of exploration, ship combat, and piratey fun.

Sail VR’s biggest strength is its open world. You’ll traverse vast stretches of ocean, charting your course and feeling the salty spray in your (virtual) face. The freedom to explore is liberating, and the world itself is visually stunning. Sunsets bleed into the horizon, and storms rage with a ferocity that’ll have you clinging to your virtual ship’s wheel.

One of the best parts of Sail VR is its multiplayer mode. Gather your crew of friends or set sail with a ragtag bunch of online pirates and set off on adventures together. The social aspects are a highlight, and working together to manage your ship and overcome challenges is a blast.

While Sail VR offers a thrilling world to explore, it’s not without its shortcomings. The game is still in Early Access, and some users report occasional bugs and glitches. Combat can also feel a bit clunky at times, especially when compared to more polished VR titles.

If you’re looking for a visually impressive VR pirate adventure with a strong social aspect, then Sail VR is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared for a few bumps along the way as the game continues development.

Overall, Sail VR is a promising game with a lot of potential. If you’re a fan of pirates, open world exploration, and swashbuckling adventures, then this VR experience might be just the treasure you’re looking for.
