Today’s game is Salt. This initially was going to come on time but Lemmy was giving me issues signing in. So I had to wait.

Anyways, Salt is a game i believe has featured in here before. The only way i can think to describe it is Windwaker meets Oblivion. It’s a lot calmer than either of those two though. From what I gather the objective is to sail island to island beating bosses. It’s nothing amazing but it manages to be a somewhat cozy experience that has managed to find its way in.

The game is really pretty notably. My favorite scene so far is just sailing the ocean at night and looking at the stars. It provides a relaxing landscape to just chill out and sail too. I like it too because there’s not anything aggressive on the sea to worry about.

It does have the issue of becoming a bit mundane, as there’s nothing out there as I mentioned. But it’s not the worst thing in the world. Especially when you have friends.

Anyways. I wanted to feature this because I took a detour today from my “projects” to play this and wanted to share. I’ve always wanted to play this after I saw a YouTuber play it when I was young, so getting to share it here is also very cool. Anyways. I’m gonna go lie down now as whatever was going on with Lemmy had me up late to check

    See travel of any distance seems difficult to make consistently interesting. Valheim’s has the occasional enemy but is still boring. It’s been a while since I played Sea of Thieves but besides the PvP aspect I feel like the land wasn’t super far apart.

      I feel like the only game that wasn’t that bad for me was Assassin’s Creed Black Flag because it had the Sea Shanties. Without those I feel like it would get old fast
