The game takes the basic idea of Battleships and expands it to cover three time periods and add tactical options. The graphics are decent and the AI good enough to give an entertaining game.
It falls down a bit on price, the content is not worth £7.19, particulalry as to unlock some of it you have to play an awful lot, and by the time you’ve unclocked it well you could play the game in your sleep.
If you can get the game free or heavilly discounted its worth considering.

Magnificent Ships: Volume 1
Nice Experience, Would Love a Snap-Turn
Played on Oculus Rift CV1 with Touch controllers. I don’t have a particular interest in ships or maritime history, so I was reluctant to pick this up. Since I like casual VR experiences, and all the reviews are positive, I thought I’d give this one a try. I purchased a bundle (Volumes 1 and 2). The wave effects and time of day changes are excellent. I wouldn’t mind a little more resolution on some of the ship textures, but they still look good. I have really enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from several of the ships. I also had fun playing with the model ships in the park.

From the same people who brought you “VROOM: GALLEON”, this is essentially just a detailed 3D model of various ships with some added effects. Spending $10 on it might be a bit much since there’s no game here, but each ship is pretty well modeled (on the exterior anyway) and you can even go below the water level to get a look at the hull, rudder and propellers/screws.
You get 6 ships to choose from: a 16th century pirate ship (much like VROOM: Galleon), an Oil Tanker, a Navy Submarine, Iowa class battleship, a Zumwalt class Destroyer, and the Queen Mary 1. Some of the textures could use some work, but overall it’s still pretty neat.

Big Breezy Boat - Relaxing Sailing
This combined with its companion “VR Regatta” takes me back to the days when I could get in a boat and handle sails.
This is very immersive and will help everyone with any interest in sailing
The devs are responsive, and the community is great BUT these products are only for VR so be warned
Most of my time has been spent in the dinghy, just getting the feel of a much bigger boat

“Be free and go sailing on your own yacht surrounded by relaxing ocean!” describes it perfectly.

Only con i can find is the day/night cycle

Battle Group 2
If you love old school type action shooters such as Battleships or 1942 then you’re going to love Battle Group 2 as it combines the best of those, it’s so easy to just pick up and play with no complicated controls or instructions and with minimal setup as well so you’ll be up and playing in a couple of minutes. In fact it’s such a breeze that any fool can play it.
This is strictly a single player game with 30 stages in the campaign and starts off very easy and gets progressively more difficult with each stage that you complete, there are no difficulty options so everyone plays the same game. Each stage is very short and your job is to control a single ship at the start and two ships after your have upgraded to fend off various waves of planes and helicopters which can be shot down with your ships guns or missiles which can also be upgraded at the end of every stage when your scores and rewards are displayed. You control a primary ship which is your main weapon and a support ship which offers backup and there are a total of 8 ships that you can collect and use throughout the game.

Despite the name, there really is not much “navy” involved except the overall setting. What this really is is skeet shooting. You don’t move, you simply mow down defenders before they can reach you, much like the good old “Missile Command” except your perspectives shift a bit: enemies can now come from the sides, top, bottom, even from behind. AND you get a secondary ship with some fancy stuff like missile decoy, escort fighters, and so on. And then there are special abilities such as satellite support (i.e. zap all the missiles or all the enemies at once), then there are the boss fights.

Similar Experience to Volume 1- I Liked It, but I Still Want a Snap-Turn
I just posted my review below verbatim from what I wrote for volume 1. Essentially, I felt that the pluses and minus are the same.

Naval Armada: Fleet Battle
I have just started with this game, grinding it out.
The default game play is “Free for All”.
This gets very boring after a short while.
I will stick it out for a few more days to see how things go.
UPDATE
After roughly 15 hrs of play, I still do not recommend this game.
With out spending money, you are given a limited number of “timed upgrades” per day, 6. I do not know what they consider a “day” however…..
I am starting to advance to where most players are buying premium vessels and upgrades, making play difficult. For example, I can be taken out with one shot while it takes me 3 to 6 shots to take out a boat.

There are a lot of in game purchases for everything from flags to armaments, so if you’re not careful it will nickel and dime you to death.
Apparetnly there are only one or two servers, the best one I can connect to is in Netherlands and I continually get kicked off due to server connection issues. Generally the game freezes during play, then kicks you to the start menu where you are then penalized for abandoning the match.
The game is also buggy in the keyboard controls, the screen during gameplay minimizes randomly, then you have to ctrl mouse to restore the screen after which your cursor is frozen and you can’t move the gun turret until you fire the gun first. /ctrl

Captain Firebeard and the Bay of Crows
This pirate game (long title, can’t be bothered to write it all down) is a charming kinetic novel with a pac-man style minigame. They really should have just written that on the blurb instead but I understand that such a concise description isn’t great for marketing so you’ll have to get your gospel truths from me!
In my usual style I will rattle through my categories:
Story, Writing & Characters
The plot is interesting and has a splash of real history, which I like a lot. Too many times have I seen things set in the Golden Age of Piracy where certain elements are taken from completely different centuries and then smashed together into one, ignoring historical accuracy. I can tell that everything here is really well researched and correct. The writing was sharp, witty and period accurate. The characters feel realistic and consistent and you do feel that you are on an exciting adventure, which is essential in a pirate tale. I liked the jokes a lot, especially those surrounding the hapless captain and his unlucky crew. My favorite character was probably Lady Wendy; something about powerful, calculating women just does it for me… mmmm Teresa May…. I also enjoyed that a fellow Frenchman was shown as being a bad-ass pirate hunter! That was maybe the best bit for me! Vive La France!

Wilhelm Gustloff’s Death
I remember when I learned about this ship once. It has a very strange and sad story looking into the vessel. Despite that it is the worst maritime disaster in human history, when I saw it come out tonight, I knew I had to give it a green light. The ship model looks good.

Very good game. The only thing that’s missing for me is entering the bridge. I have played all your games (Titanic, Britannic and Lusitania) and I had lots of fun with this. The ship model is very well done, and when I´m playing this I feel like I were on the ship when it was sinking. Hope that there will come more games with sinking ships. Good job :) (sorry for bad english, I’m from Germany)
edit: Maybe I would like a free camera mod without sinking on daylight for exploring the ship outside :D

Battleships and Carriers - Pacific War
Very interesting to buy appropriate units and upgrades depending on each mission, you would quickly surpass the enemy. But it gets boring not to see any Japanese ship’s image. Please update Japanese carriers instead of using the same icon for US and IJN carriers.
