Salt 2 - Open World Sandbox Pirate Survival RPG

[@mr.m12345]

Pirate Survival! I am in! (Reads comments) OK, after reading what Salt players are saying, I will put it on my wish list and see how it goes before putting down some daubloons .

[@liloconjetudo9045]

I'm in the same road, 9 months later from this comment i think is going on a good way actually, it kept getting updates and (for now) is not abandoned

[@_ric]

Bought Salt the first time round. It really sank without trace, no pun intended. While I appreciate there could be many reasons for it to do that, but if they are doing a sequel then they need to show they are willing to support the game, rather than bail, like they did last time.

[@Jumptownwore]

Thanks... Was about to buy it. Now I won't.... Until it is well established.

[@azarinevil]

@@Jumptownwore Smart choice, I own Salt and this sequel is what they promised us last time around. The Devs are definitely not to be trusted and I would go so far as to recommend avoiding them at all costs. They gave up on Salt to start a kickstarter for this one.. never a good sign especially when this is the same game with a face lift and features promised in the last early access.

[@XShrike0]

This reminds me of what my friends wished Sea of Thieves was. We wanted to do the content without having to deal with other players raiding us.

[@lanceuppercut6168]

That's what pushed me away from SoT. Hopefully these guys deliver to scratch that itch, tho based on the comments I'll wait til 1.0 and see how it stands at that time.

[@Ironhideunlimited]

Yeah that game should be called Sea of Trolls

[@FrankRomine]

After reading through the comments I must say I'm severely put off by what former salt one players have spoken about lack of follow updates on the last release. It seems like the developers definitely did them dirty.

[@bytemeah]

I am one of them. Pretty pissed that the dev just went and pretty much abandoned Salt 1 after not delivering any of the promised features.

[@Malikyte13]

They're not even "follow updates", Lavaboots straight-up just abandoned Salt 1 so they could instead make money off Salt 2. Salt 1 is such a barebones shell of a game that the "finished" 1.0 release might as well just be a demo for Salt 2.

[@ravebiscuits8721]

To be fair, if nearly nobody bought the first game, it makes a lot of sense to push forward to the sequel. How expensive was the game? Was it a complete enough game to be fun for the money?

[@NoLifeButMyOwn]

@@ravebiscuits8721 People don’t want to spend money on empty shells of games? Wow.

[@azarinevil]

As a Salt owner.. can't emphasize enough this is a dev to avoid. Salt still needs a ton of work and this game is essentially what they promised us with the last title. They are very likely to get to a point where they will abandon this to start Salt 3 before finishing what they started.. again.

From the look of it, when sailing at night, you could have used the compass to choose your heading, then use the stars to keep on it.

[@DamsdelDrennon]

I want to say, as a game on its own, it's a reasonably good base to build on, the world is beautiful in its simplistic style, the quest and narration work together. Then remains to see what gets added and how it's done. Looking through comments is a bit of a cold shower, I've been in the same position of following a game for years and see its development "halted" for the sequels to be announced years later. If it doesn't destroy faith or optimism necessarily, it attach a big weight for the new game to drag along. Hoping for it to fulfil its potential and players expectations.

[@BooTeaCheeks]

Salt was something I stumbled into on steam before I understood the whole early access thing. I had no idea about what was and wasn't promised to players and honestly found it kind of unique. It didn't hold my interest too long but I never had any regrets. That being said, I hold developers to a higher standard now, especially ones that break their promises to their fans! I will probably hold off and read the reviews.

[@callithasmed8468]

Good to see the old boy's still about! I haven't listened to Splat in a couple of years, and my mental health declined dramatically since!

[@TT-df9hp]

I'm going to pass on this. The dev took the original Salt out of early access too early, barebones and didn't fix bugs and started working on the sequel.

[@FireSprinklerSifu]

I never played Salt 1 and just dove right into this game. I paid just under $20 and I've put in around 30 hours to the game so far and I've really enjoyed it and would say its worth the $20 price tag. I've just hit character level 40 although my skills (woodworking, mining, etc) haven't caught up yet. Its a game where you need to loot EVERYTHING because pretty much everything is used towards crafting. There's plenty of inventory weight capacity and it seems as though chests on your ship hold an infinite amount and the chests are also linked (so really there's no point in crafting more than one loot chest). Combat is pretty simplistic, they could certainly use some work on that to make it more interesting. The one thing I've been really impressed with is how rarely I've come across identical cave systems. I'm sure eventually I'll see them all, however the dev's did a great job creating a variety of different caves to explore so the game hasn't gotten stale and felt like a complete grind. I will say the game is certainly very grindy at the moment, its a push for levels but to get levels you need resources. End game is going to be grinding epic materials to craft epic weapons/armor (probably multiple of the same pieces) because there's "traits" which are randomized with each item you craft/find. So eventually it'll become a... craft the same thing over and over again until you get the stats you're looking for. All in all the game has great potential, as a single player open world crafting game its been really fun so far. After reading the comments I'm a little discouraged hearing the first game was full of promise with no delivery so I hope the dev's stick with it on this one.

[@azarinevil]

Wait a long time before you buy.. this dev abandoned Salt 1, gave it a facelift and is running a kickstarter for the sequel without delivering on what was promised. Shady AF and not worth buying in Early Access. I made that mistake with them last time.

[@Malikyte13]

Like AzarinEvil said, don't give these schmucks any money. I won't be giving them any at all after the shit they pulled on us with Salt 1, but if you absolutely refuse to sail the seven seas of the internet to get Salt 2, at least wait until it's 100% finished. Even then I wouldn't hold my breath - according to the devs, Salt 1 is "finished" already even though it's an empty lifeless husk of a game, more of a tech demo really.

[@TreguardD]

Can I suggest Raft?

[@AlphaOfCrimson]

@@TreguardD I have Raft and while I do like it, the constant work needed just to stay alive is a bit much. While I do like survival, I feel they take it a bit far.

[@micah_d2]

[@Malikyte13]

The short answer is: The devs abandoned it so they could start filling their pockets with Kickstarter money for Salt 2 instead.

[@thewallachianbard6975]

Salt 2 ?! They barely got the first one out of early access, they want to release a second one ?

[@bytemeah]

Correction. The only reason Salt 1 got a 1.0 slapped on it was so that the devs could kickstart Salt 2 for all the moneys. This should have been an update to Salt, not an entirely new game.

I was excited when I saw the premise, then seeing the comments how the developer treated their first game and left those who bought it with an unfinished product. I will pass. I buy games I won’t play just to support good developers. And will pass on games I would like because of bad ones. Maybe if the developer provides free copies to those who bought the original so they get what they were promised I will change my mind.

[@Teeb2023]

Agreed, I haven't touched the original for ages, probably never will, so he/they aren't getting another penny.

[@Fox_Olive]

eh, th ings are more complicated than that. the reviews for the original are mostly positive, so evidently most consumers enjoyed their time with it. development costs money, and if you put your game out there and it just doesnt do well, you still need to feed yourself, so you move on, you go work a 9-5 while working on the sequel. if the original stopped development like a year or two ago, i'd be more apprehensive that this was a get rich scheme, but no, its been 4, almost 5 years. to me that speaks of a dev that spent time getting back on their feet and is trying again, hopefully with better results. also, early access is always a gamble, never buy what you get promised, buy what is out at that moment.

[@azarinevil]

They actually tried to get us to sign up for the kickstarter for this project.. literally their last steam announcement for Salt was them rubbing their greed and bad behavior in our face.

[@YmenTradonSax]

I don't really agree to all the comments below. I do not know what the devs promised befored the release of Salt 1, but damn I loved the game. Lots to do, tons of different bosses, different quests to do. Think I payed about 20 dollars for it, got it pretty early after the Steam release. I was super happy and put a bit more than 100 hours into it, and still didn't find or kill all the different bosses, nor did I get to finish all the quests in the game. I did stop on almost every single island I found. Salt 2, so far, I also think is great! Love it. I like the new additions they have made, the new crafting systems, the new island and POIs. I did buy Cyberpunk 2077, I did buy Halo Infinite, and I have gotten a lot more joy from buying and playing Salt than I have from those two titles. And those are huge titles, which I was more dissapointed by than Salt. Salt is made by like 2 people, who much can you even expect when the biggest publishers still delivers shit? At least these guy delivered chill and enjoyable games with lots of content. The reason they probably left Salt 1, in a state I feel is very good and not just "a shell of a game", is probably because they made another game, Wild West And Wizards. Which also is a fun game that I enjoyed playing. Cheap, lots of content and a chill experience.

Providing victuals for passing ships was a big business. The colonial powers would grab islands and ports where ships could be provisioned with repairs, new recruits, food and water, rope, sails, live animals and other consumables. Ports would have a whole little industry of people making biscuits and other edibles for the crew. Ships took on fresh water, new animals, replaced infested food with fresher stuff. There would be people like fishers, bakers, farmers and such producing a surplus to be sold. Being barred from these ports was a big deal for ships from unfriendly nations and pirates. Stealing or replacing the good rope from a ship becomes a necessity when you can't drop into port and buy the stuff. The different nations would hit eachothers merchants and naval ships with tariffs and penalties depending on their relations back in Europe.

[@NEO.E.D]

As someone who bought Salt when it was still in Early Access and played the hell out of it, I, like many others here, was disappointed when the devs dropped the game. I get it, this came out at a time when you had Sea of Thieves, Atlas and tons of other survival games, the first two in particular (mostly SoT though) were just too strong of a competition for the game to really grow, but it was still sad. That said, even though the game was somewhat barebones, the little quests were alright, not great but passable, there was a decent weapon diversity, combat was rather simple, few island types, some different ships (White Narwhal ftw) and multiplayer, which I never tried. All in all, I enjoyed my time on the game, mainly because of the sailing. Sitting behind the helm, travelling across the seas, from sunrise to sunset and then at night with the starry sky, with that neat little soundtrack playing was almost meditative for me. So, Salt devs, if you read this: please, for the love of all that is sacred, do not let this fall into oblivion like the original game. Do not leave it in that limbo of "it's not finished, nor a basic tech demo". I have been following the Kickstarter updates, this already has more than the original Salt, so keep going. As a consumer I'm willing to give you a second chance, so make this an amazing pirate survival and exploration game that we can play happily years and years into the future.

All games should be designed as single player. Alot of time and money is wasted on netcode and social gamer screeching. Developers produce less content for multiplayer games because the expect social interaction to replace content. This is why a great deal of lame games add "PVP" to their gameplay, as a stop gap for not producing deep content. Elden Ring did multiplayer and pvp right. Its secondary to content and story, almost like an after thought. No lobby. Its perfect.
