I'm giving this game a 5/10 Some very cool ideas here, and some solid simulation building. The CONCEPT of the story is very cool. All that said, I am kind of offended as to how little research the developers did into the actual Coast Guard. I was in the Coast Guard. Its nothing like this. This is more like the story of the most well funded, die hard auxilarists the world has ever known. Also special mention has to …

This game was awesome, I loved the gameplay and the story. You have an option of a gun the entire game, I never used one. I was stuck on two parts for probably an hour each, so not including that, I don't really think 19$ is worth 7hrs of gameplay. I wish the game was longer and had more to it, thought it was going to be a heavy simulatiton game but it is alot more of an investigation/puzzle game. Pros: Great idea, …

Around an hour I spent on the first mission, the ghost ship. No denying I enjoyed the majority of it. The game has real potential, and the different elements mixed together do work very well - sure, the first person sequences are rough and require work, and there's bugs galore, but there's the essence of a great game in here. Unfortunately the simple lack of a basic save system meaning you pretty much lose …

Should be named "refugee saving simulator" After having to save refugees, you would think the story gets more interesting with a crime happen, but then it's again all about refugees. I played it 100% with both endings, but more or less just because it wasn't hard and I wanted all the achievements. However, the content isn't that much and it can get REALLY frustrating doing certain things just because the developers …

Well, this Game could have been Good but sadly the Game is riddled with Bugs, Logic mistakes, bad Physics, crap Performance on all Quality Options (down to 20FPS with Xeon 1231v3. GTX970, 16GB Ram). If you want to get that Game, wait for a Sale. Like i stated above, the Idea is great and thats where the good Things already end. If you play for Achievements expect somehwere between 8-10 Hours for 100%.

Players who liked COAST GUARD talk about engaging story with mystery elements; those who didn't talk about bugs and glitches are common. Which matters more to you?

Just imagine if a Coast Guard ship was pursuing one of these boats and disabled it with a burst from a .50 cal. Then, they pull alongside and just shoot the survivors. There would be no question it was murder.

neutral · AI labelView post →Feels like the budget or timeframe for release was severely curtailed. Spend half your time going to what sounds like a cool mission... but that mission doesn't actually exist, just a waypoint that is in reality a delaying tactic to occupuy your time while the narrative catches up. The time-frame jumps around distractedly, to confuse the player to build a so-so mystery-plot. Too little coast-guard gaming, too much jumping around. Could have been great. Should have been great. But fails…

And still there are some which embolden the smallest among us to dare to do great this. Coast Guard is a game which does none of this. It is an absolute waste of money, time and disk space and may god have mercy on your soul if your purchase this ridiculously expensive piece of sludge.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really liked this game, i don't know why it has so many bad reviews from the others, it's one of the best games i've ever played. It's kind of an action adventure with the criminal investigation, good story with decent playtime and 2 endings. Only downside is that it's not really good optimized - my fx6300+r9 270 is not good enough, getting only 5-30 fps
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm having a hard time "getting into" the game. Lot's of objectives aren't clear and vague, only to make you look everywhere to guess what to do. Gameplay is slow as well! Water effects are decent... and it stops there. It is an interesting blend of simulation and adventure but as of now, I'm not in the mood for something this slow and its vague objectives. I may give it another try once it get's cheaper as I'm gonna ask for a refund... 20$ for this game is overpriced in my book.

Althought I was disappointed by the fact it is not realy a coast guard game, I had fun with the adventure. There are flashbacks in the game. After a mission, you might wonder what you are doing on an abandonned ship. It's normal, you find out at the end. The game is centered on a few mission, but the main action will take place on an oil rig. You will have to solve…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good quality simulator. It's more exploratory that most simulators, the instructions are a bit vage that makes you think and sometimes desperate, because you don't know what to do or just realize you are not doing anything wrong. Storyline is good, gameplay is good and visually beautifull. 6.5/10
