The world of Salt is a joy to explore, in many ways it looks and feels like Wind Waker or Proteus, with so much color and beauty to behold as you sail from island to island.

There’s also the occasional merchant that you can trade goods with and wild animals which you can hunt for food, or just for sport. You’ll need these boats as the world of Salt is made up of lots of procedurally generated islands which you can travel to and pillage for resources. There’s an extensive crafting system in Salt, with you able to craft armour, tools, weapons, camp-sites and even a variety of boats. The main focus of Salt isn’t survival or combat, it’s exploration and the joy of discovery. That’s not to say that there aren’t things out to get you (pirates and wild creatures roam the wilderness), but they’re few and far between and easily avoided if you’d rather not take them on. For starters there’s not a zombie in sight. Since the inception of DayZ, there have been a LOT of survival games released, but nothing quite like Salt. Salt is a beautiful mix of Proteus, DayZ, Minecraft and Wind Waker, that’s one of the most colourful and warm survival exploration adventures you’ll ever experience, full of natural wonders and stunning vistas.
