Review notes
Flotsam is worth a closer look if you want nautical, management, base building, and colony sim.

Steam review snapshots
Once you get into the flow, it’s really nice and smooth sailing (haha).Some parts feel a bit too difficult or grindy.The management side is especially well done everything feels intuitive, and balancing resources is satisfying rather than frustrating.I wouldn't say there is a lot of replay value here but it was fun while it lasted.Why it fits
Check it if you want simulation, strategy filtered by weird, single-player.
