Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 125 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (640 of 697 positive).
Players praise Shipped as a fun, simple local multiplayer boat game with charming aesthetics. [1][2][3] Many note the controls are slippery and hard to master, but rewarding once learned. [4][5][6] Some reviewers criticize the lack of online multiplayer and clunky controls. [7][8][9]

Don’t let the "Mostly Positive" reviews fool you, this is a lesson in frustration. The controls are an absolute disaster; it feels like steering a brick through molasses with zero brakes. You spend 90% of the time fighting the clunky physics and a ruthless camera that kills you for the tiniest mistake. It’s not "challenging," it’s just poorly designed and unresponsive. Save your sanity and your money playing this is …

Shipped is a very simple local multiplayer boat game, but simplicity doesn't mean it's not incredibly entertaining. It features various game modes and numerous different maps to battle your friends on. Recently, a single-player mode with challenges to test your skills was added.

This game is in the "easy-to-learn, hard-to-master" genre. The ships are difficult to control at first, but getting better at it is essentially most of the game. It's now one of my favorite couch-competitive games of all time. The characters are cute and I love that they all have their own unique "voice acting" for when they win or their ship blows up. You can't play online with strangers, but it's super fun to play …

The characters are ADORABLE, the soundtrack absolutely ROCKS (the boat) and to top it all off it's ABSURDLY fun!! For only 6 bucks this thing's a STEAL (or plunder rather) Do yourself a favor and buy both it and the soundtrack this instant This is a threat btw not a suggestion, get this game rn i know where you live

Great game, but it should have: - Online multiplayer. - More minigames. - An option to skip or increase speed of bots so you won't need to spectate some bots. - 16:9.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have worked in this game’s soundtrack. However, to be fair, I will try do this review as if I had not participated in its development. I honestly think the game has a very personal control, which is difficult enough to be able to learn and improve without being frustrated during the process. In addition, the game becomes steadily more challenging as its draws on and finally achieves a high level of virtuosity. I think there are some marvellous mechanics, such as moving the boat´s sails or…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little party game. It only has a local multiplayer and bots so bear that in mind. If you aren't tilted enough yet, there is also arcade and challenge modes. It took me half an hour just beat the arcade mode with one character, can't imagine what it's like trying to 100% this game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shipped’s slippery controls take some getting used to, but those that can stomach its unorthodox approach to play will find a party title that is perfect for short bursts.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game cured my cancer. Disclaimer: this game did not cure my cancer but it's a very nice fun little game, very well made, fun to play, super charming and has one of the best indie soundtracks of the year. Also this game makes me all hot and bothered when the girls moan after crashing their ships. I give this game 10 out of Euler's number.

Myself and my friends have so many hours and late nights playing this game quite competitively the hours on my account don't even account for half of our time spent playing. There are so many rewarding moments: the feelings of pixel perfect hugging a rock to shoot the gap in a race, getting that…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

After a 20+ year in the games industry the deathblow was dealt Nov. 2022 when EA laid me off for the final time, and as I was now 40+ years old I was never re-hired and my interview count dropped from nearly 1:1 to applications to 1:500 or lower.

neutral · AI labelView post →Shipped, developed and published by Majorariatto, is a compact multiplayer-focused party game that proves how far a simple idea can go when paired with tight design and clever use of physics. At first glance, it appears almost minimal to a fault—small boats, clean arenas, and straightforward objectives—but once it begins, it quickly reveals itself as a chaotic and highly competitive experience built around momentum, positioning, and split-second decision-making. It is the kind of game that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure how its reviewed so high. Feels like a low effort free web game. Was buggy and didn't work when we had 3 controllers plugged in
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absolutely not worth it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game. Controls are good, but it takes time to get used to them. Graphics are good and kinda cute. Only flaw is that it doesn't have an online mode, but the game itself is really fun. Arcade mode gets a little repetitive but it's stilll nice. Better to play with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, even playing alone. I have a lot of fun with it, and the challenges are a great way to get out of an afternoon at work :)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It honestly doesn't make sense how fun this game is! As my one friend put it, "This looks like some major weeb ♥♥♥♥". But we decided it would be worth giving a quick try. Don't let the simple aesthetics fool you! Every single game mode is an absolute BLAST!! Some are better than others, but the low barrier of entry in gameplay, and graphical simplicity make it so that you can dive straight in, and begin raging and laughing over this silly little party game. I can't speak to how this game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really surprised about this game, i've played another Majorariatto games, like Majotori and Golfing Over It whit Alva Majo. It's excellent as other titles from the developer. Perfect to play with friends, Also has an arcade gamemode that is really fun, the "Arcade Mode" it goes by days, and you need to complete the level to advance to the next day. The difficulty is focused on the controls, since they are easy to learn however difficult to master. Probably the best Indie game launched this…

I really wanted to like this one, because the overall idea is pretty interesting and there's actually a decent amount of content here for the asking price, but the sailing controls completely ruin the experience for me. The sailing mechanic is just incredibly difficult to get the hang of. I've spent over an hour trying to figure it out, experimenting with the controls and replaying the same…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking forward to some funny game play with my grandchildrens. But what we get is extremely unjoyable hard stupidity. This is not acceptabale even for such old grandpa as me who play games for last 40 years. This is almost Dark souls level of play. Definitevly not for kids ! I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO MY FRIEND NOR MY GRANDMA.

At first you'll feel like you can't even control the ship but once you're comfortable with it you can get competitive really fast. Because this game is both fun and competitive. I've played mostly 1v1, and the sailing, cannon balls and parrys make up for a very enjoyable battle. Sometimes you just want to out-speed your oponent. Sometimes you go for the kill. Sometimes you get parried and die. The visuals are appealing and the design of…

The graphics are minimalist and cute, and the sound design is perfect for the tone. The game has many different game modes and can be played with a controller, which is a plus. I'm overall satisfied with my purchase. Negative: The game does need to auto-restart after the player dies (which happens often, specially when you're getting used to the controls) when going against bots. Also, there should be a…
