Deal | Praised by 84% of players, this open-world adventure game is 50% off on Steam

Salt 2: Shores of Gold is an open-world adventure game from Lavaboots Studios. You can play solo or with up to five friends, and it is currently available for $9.99 on Steam.

In this game, you take on the role of a castaway and must find resources, build a raft, and set sail. This world is procedurally generated, and various resources are available to customize your ship.

As you progress, discover ruins, caves, pirate camps, seaports, and more than 200 dungeons inspired by Diablo and Skyrim. However, despite its peaceful atmosphere, you'll have to survive by fishing, crafting items, and cooking. In addition, you’ll also have to face enemies, bosses, and dangerous wildlife.

According to the developers, there is no PvP in Salt 2: Shores of Gold, which is appreciated by several players. They also praise its visuals and its gameplay mechanics. However, some feel that the game is repetitive and criticize its first-person perspective. Bugs and optimization issues have also been reported. 

For its part, TechGoggles notes: "The game’s concept goes pretty far. Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful, and the overall levelling system is rock-solid." Meanwhile, VGTimes finds the game too simple: "Salt 2 is just too simple, even by indie standards." Despite this, 84% of its 2,385 reviews are positive on Steam.

As for its price, it will go back to $19.99 on November 16, 2026. But according to SteamDB, this price was first reached on April 17, 2023.
