A little generic but the gameplay and art style are impeccable.

Loved it

Unpolished but a 10/10 atmosphere

Darktide is the game I wanted Back4Blood to be

Excellent foundation. I'm excited to see what they do with it

I love blizzard day as a crew mate.

At this point, at least for me in pub lobbies, everything has gone to absolute ♥♥♥♥.

The crew mates who wondered off the night before are presumed dead or thralls. Any crew that remains are in bad shape, and are ready to gamble their last life on a desperate plan to salvage the mission.

They head up the lighthouse to rush Nitro, you wish them luck knowing it will be the last time you hear their voices until the end.

You salvage every last piece of coal you can and secure it on the ship while frantically searching for any signs of the thrall - knowing that any successful sabotage at this point in the game is guaranteed game over.

You would have gone with the nitro team but there is no time. The mission is all but doomed, albeit still technically possible if all crew pulls their roles off flawlessly.

You sit in the captains quarters, slowly adding wood to the fire to preserve your heat for the final moments of the game and just listen for any signs of life.

It’s quiet now except for blizzard which is deadening not just your hearing but all of your senses. The silence is eerie and weirdly peaceful. It signals that your death is imminent, and at the same time your just thankful you don’t hear the thrall.

You hear gunshots in the distance, and then silence.

For all you know you’re the last survivor, warm but starving, when suddenly you hear the explosion. The ice berg disappears off the compass and you rush to the boiler to fire it up.

Escape feels more possible then ever now, but far from certain.

You man the wheel, studying the path ahead of you in case of a white out, and nervously glancing at the coal meter hoping you have enough to get out.

Your heat is draining fast now, even faster than the coal, but thankfully you thought ahead to bring tea.

The path to escape is straight ahead, and you mash the W key as hard as you can while shifting your eyes between the coal, heat and health bars to see which is draining the fastest.

You are for sure the last remaining survivor at this point, and just when you think it’s all over new text appears on the screen. You have survived. The mission was a success.

What a rush.

Fun enough to keep my attention, but the player base is already dead months after release.

Am I going to sink 1,000 hours into this game? Probably not, but for $40 (and no subscription fee like most MMOs) New World is an excellent value and genuinely a fun world to spend time in.

Simpler game than what I thought I was buying, but still very charming. Took about 15 hours to complete everything. First 5 hours are incredible, last 5 was a grind fest. 3.5/5
