Ship Explorer

This is an excellent way to discover interesting facts about some great ships. If you like big boats and cannot lie, then this is the game for you.

If you are a history nerd or enjoy large scale engineering this is a really cool game for you.

Anyone who's watched the Oceanliner Designs videos on YouTube will no doubt have been impressed by the quite beautiful digital recreations of the ships under discussion by our reliable friend Mike Brady. Here those models have been remastered and improved to allow the player to walk around freely around on them and explore them as much as they like, with discoverable collectible items on board such as photographs of the genuine ship and posters, objects, and other items that offer insights into the history of the ship and life on board, plus some new narrations recorded by Mike Brady. The results are a fascinating 'digital museum'. The player can choose weather and time of day, and included is a photo mode where you can explore the ship in free camera. The fleet available so far includes the SS United States, Morro Castle and an incredibly detailed Bismarck, playable both at sea and as a burning wreck being sunk by the Royal Navy! Interiors are minimal (but then recreating these ships fully would surely take years - maybe decades - of work ... think how long it's taken for Titanic: Honor & Glory to reach us?). Overall, a must if you're an Oceanliner Designs fan and a maritime history nerd in general (like me). Just don't think of it as a 'game' per se, as there are no objectives to complete, just a nice leisurely stroll through history. Or as an interactive Oceanliner Designs video.

Beautiful game with cool ships.

Great for those interested in nautical history.
