My Cruise 4+

I don’t usually write reviews (I know a lot of them start like that) but I don’t write reviews for anything including realistically, only if I really like it. Like this game for example. If you’re ok with watching some ads about decision making and pirates for some extra $ then this game is for you. No but seriously it’s worth it. The game is interesting and gets your attention. I JUST WISH I KNEW HOW TO ADD MORE THAN ONE PASSENGER INTO THE CABIN. Online isn’t helping either so I’m desperately asking, please. I feel like that one lady in the ad where you pull the key to give her coal or ice. Ya know since she’s freezing. I’ve seen this game in App Store many times. Gave it a try and I’m hooked. So if you wana try it, give it a go! Then let me know if you were able to figure out the cabin issue. Thank you.

The gameplay is spot-on! I love the animations and how the ship comes alive. There is plenty of gameplay and it's a pretty relaxing pastime. That is, until you realize that for every 30 minutes of play, 22 minutes of it are ads! Seriously, 3 out of 4 ads are 30-60 seconds running time, plus an additional 15 seconds (to decide?) and many have no early exit option. It's bearable the first day or so of play because the game itself is fun, but by day 3, despite my eagerness to start building my 3rd deck, I closed the game in frustration because the sad, emotionally manipulative game scenes in these ads being played on repeat every 2-3 minutes. I have no problem with ad rev games. Nothing is free and you get what you pay for. But if you're doing a cheery cruise game, why keep subjecting your customers to scenes of cold moms, sick kids, and conceiving old ladies? What is the agenda here? I feel the ads don't align with the gameplay. Not recommended simply because the ads sully the experience and in time, can affect ones perception of the game.

This game is just exactly what I’ve been wanting and looking for so long. The detail is amazing. The art style is wonderful. The soundtrack is relaxing. The little people doing their things in the cruise ship and at ports is fun to watch. The progression is fairly easy but there is still some length. It not like other games where you have to sit and wait to rack up money for one small upgrade. You can play for very long without getting bored; everything is just so satisfying. And the best part, there is no ads unless you want a bonus. I get the bonuses to support the devs of this game as they made an excellent game, a rare instance for a free mobile game. This is must play if you like tycoon genre of games, especially if you are into cruise ships.
