Excellent video game. Using the a wii remote + the gamepad, the game just feels so good. Being able to do nice and fluent movements with wii remote and then being able manage all my captains using the gamepad feels natural and intuitive and is probably the second best use of the gamepad behind mario maker. I didn't expect to enjoy the gameplay as much as I did, I expected it to be either to stressful or to laid back, but it found a great middle ground. The atmosphere and world definitely make you feel small and isolated, but also almost at home where your meant to be. Anyways, this is by no means a perfect game but its near flawless.
