It's like Sea of Thieves in space, I guess? I'm not sure how different they are since I never played SoT. But Wildgate was fun for a round or two.
I liked boarding and ransacking enemy ships with my crew. Eventually we got outgunned and our helmsman wasn't able to evade our assailants.
I'll probably give it another go, but I don't know how much time I'll actually spend with it. I don't think I'm really the target audience.
