Boaty McBoatface Island Adventure 1.0

Do you remember when there was a twitter poll to name one of the new British research ships and the public in their infinite knowledge decided that that boat should be called “Boaty McBoatface” well now we have Boaty McBoatface Island Adventure where you can sail what looks far more like a pirate ship than a research vessel around a small island while firing cannons and…well not much else.

We have to give the developer and artist respect though because to be fair the water is incredibly well rendered, it’s just a shame the rest of the game looks so basic and that there is no real kind of objective (well there is one objective and that’s to hit the target boards dotted around the different islands) but it’s not enough to keep the game interesting for particularly long and once you have managed to hit each target with your cannon then it’s all over.

Boaty McBoatface Island Adventure could be like the blueprint for a very interesting sea based game especially with that great looking water but at the moment it’s just a fairly monotonous experience that you are unlikely to play through more than once.
