Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Ship Inc. on Not
0:10
These are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:14
department. Links to this review are in
0:16
the description below. Let the reviewing
0:21
Pros: Repairs included. I was a little
0:24
surprised that we'd get items that were
0:27
already broken and we could fix them.
0:29
While I do enjoy cleaning stains out of
0:31
clothes, I'm wondering if fixing pottery
0:33
and glass is a bit too tedious after a
0:36
while. We do get paid for repairing
0:38
items, but the question remains, are we
0:41
gluing everything back together?
0:45
Cute graphics. I absolutely adore the
0:48
graphics this game has to offer us, not
0:50
just with the items, but the town
0:52
specifically. It just looks so wholesome
0:55
and clean. Not super detailed, but
0:57
doesn't have to be. It's charming.
1:00
Cons: It became a chore. I started
1:04
losing steam with this game around the
1:06
3-hour mark, at which point I was in the
1:08
mind-numbing fog of doing the same thing
1:11
over and over again just to earn money
1:12
and achievements. There was a moment
1:15
where I had to fix several pottery
1:16
items, and I was just like, why? It's so
1:20
tedious to piece together the same thing
1:22
over and over. I get that you don't
1:25
actually have to, but you also kind of
1:27
do if you want full payment.
1:30
Soundtrack was killing me. The first
1:33
soundtrack you start to listen to, that
1:35
is. It was okay, and I didn't mind it
1:38
until I'd been listening to it nonstop
1:40
for a couple hours straight. My teeth
1:42
were grinding at that point. I just
1:44
couldn't listen to it anymore. To help
1:47
with this, they placed an MP3 in a shop,
1:49
which allows you to change the music to
1:51
a few different ones, but it sort of
1:54
annoys me that I was forced to buy it or
1:56
turn the music volume all the way down
1:58
in game. A change in music should be a
2:00
perk, not a necessity.
2:03
Tutorials lacking. Maybe it's me, but I
2:07
really struggled on first playing the
2:08
game after the tutorial taught me the
2:10
basics. I didn't know where to put the
2:13
box I emptied. It goes in the recycling
2:15
shoot. I wasn't sure what to do with the
2:17
breakable item. I was confused by the
2:20
red icon on it. I didn't notice the
2:22
shredder for the finished orders. It's
2:25
not told that we can send for a second
2:27
truck if we can't fit all our boxes in
2:29
at once. And then there's sometimes more
2:32
money in putting one box in a truck at a
2:33
time rather than filling it up. It's not
2:36
cozy to have to sit here and frustrate
2:38
yourself into figuring something out.
2:41
Where did it mention we had to wiggle
2:42
the bubble wrap over an item in order to
2:44
wrap it? Nowhere. Where did it say what
2:47
to do with thieving items? Nowhere.
2:51
Where did it say when we need to buy
2:53
other labels? Nowhere. Okay, that last
2:57
one is petty, but still. The tutorials
2:59
were slim, and I felt that mommy left us
3:02
alone in a mall to figure it out.
3:05

Thanks for watching everyone, and don't
3:18
get in too much trouble when you say,
