Out of Reach: Treasure Royale
7.8 hours of gameplay, here’s my take:
Mechanically speaking for a BR, it works. There is minor input lag that has nothing to do with VSynch as I don’t use it, but it’s not game breaking. The combat needs a bit more polish as it can be a little rough. It definitely needs more human players, but the community is organizing lobbies so there is opportunity. The ship combat is pretty fun too.
The fact this isn’t a pure BR in the sense that you aren’t just killing makes it fun, and the ship combat gives it an extra dimension so it could appeal to people. The bots are extremely aggressive, I liken them to raider scavs in Escape from Tarkov for difficulty. The fact there are Ring of Elysium style bots helps you at least have games, and the low lobby time means you get into the game fairly quick.

Joining the official Discord helps a great deal.
To those that think this game is too difficult; at the time of this writing, I am on 59 victories out of 124 rounds played.
This is a Battle Royal with a Treasure chase, you can speed up the game by being the first to get all the treasures and get to the central altar.
Cons:
-
Inventory weight can be a bit tricky if you don’t manage to find satchels.
-
Each game is rather quick, you either get all three treasures, loot for perfect gear or have some ship battles before doing the final fight.

Maelstrom
This game is very fun to play with a good overall community. It’s a fairly small community at the moment but with new players comes more ideas and things for the developers to work with. If you’re looking for a game to sail around in a ship and fight in an arena style battle game, this is a game you should probably check out. The developers are very active with it’s player base and are quick to respond to suggestions, bugs reports, and things of that nature. I honestly haven’t played a game where the developers are this interactive with it’s players that are always trying to find things to make the game better while still working on upcoming content. I see reviews popping up from time to time about “dead game” or “things are buggy or inconsistant but it’s just not true. Sure there are bugs or glitches that happen to some people from time to time but it’s a video game…..they all have issues from time to time but the difference is this development team reacts to comments well and offers updates to let us know what to expect or if fixes were found, etc.

To be honest i had my eye on the Maelstrom even before it went F2P, but i either had no money or was kinda wary of buying the cat in the bag, that i may not even enjoy.
But since it’s now free to play i’v tried it and i absolutely love it.
What is this game? Think - world of tanks but in the fantasy universe and on the ships. Ah, and it’s a battle royal as well. You fight for the naval supremacy either solo or in a team of 3. Maximum number of players in the match - 12. There are also NPC ships with very useful boons, natural hazards like whirlpools and monsters, and a very sneaky circle of the constantly constraining dark water with even more monsters. All this may sound a bit hectic, but belive me - this game is tons of fun.

This has become one of my go-to games to sit with some friends and just laugh and have fun. There is a little bit of a learning curve with the controls but it isn’t frustrating. The only real frustration you get is when your friends edge you out. I would like to see more game modes in the future; however, what the game currently has is more than enough for some hours of entertainment with friends.
The local multiplayer can support up to 8 friends or bots and is definitely a joy with more people. Simple yet extremely entertaining.

Español: No he probado el juego mucho rato pero COMPRA RECOMENDADA da igual si no tienes amigos con los que jugar, osi (en mi caso juego por Parsec), modo singleplayer ten buena como multiplayer. Muy buena banda sonora y en mi opinión mejora mucho si juegas con mando.
English(i’m not excellent at english): I don’t tried the game for too long,I TOTALLY recommend it to you if you don’t have any friends to play with or if do you have them(in my case I use Parsec to play online),very nice playing singlepayer. Very nice soundtrack and in my opinion the experience is much better with a controller rather than with a keyboard
