Developed and published by Lavaboots Studios on November 12, 2025, Salt 2: Shores of Gold is a pirate-themed open-world adventure game. Currently 50% off on Steam, it is available for $9.99 instead of $19.99 through May 25, 2026, according to SteamDB.

Whether you play alone or online with up to five players, you wake up on an island, and your goal is to find and gather resources to build a ship. This will allow you to explore a procedurally generated world made up of many islands.

On each island, you’ll find resources essential to your survival, such as food and building materials. However, exploring these islands is dangerous. Indeed, pirates, skeletons, and bosses lurk in over 200 dungeons, and you’ll have to defeat them to claim their treasures. In addition, the game includes a main campaign, but you can also forge your own legend by exploring this world.

Since its release, Salt 2: Shores of Gold has been rated "Very Positive” on Steam, with 84% positive ratings based on 2,246 reviews. The game has several strengths, such as the many gameplay possibilities, its puzzles, its story, and its activities.

However, there are no naval battles in this game. In addition, although the world is procedurally generated, the islands are often similar, and the gameplay can also feel repetitive. Finally, note that the price of $9.99 was first reached on December 18, 2025, on Steam and has appeared several times in recent months.
