    Coast Guard is a game that gets a lot of things right, but at the end of the day, feels rushed.

    Although somewhat far fetched, Coast Guard’s storyline can be rather captivating and adds a refreshing layer to the game. However, it gives the impression that it doesn’t really know what it wants to be, without the depth to a full ship simluator and with some lacking gameplay during the investigations.

    The instances where Coast Guard works well can be fun, just not fun enough to justify the mediocrity or frustration of the rest of the game.

    Coast Guard is strongest when it is doing ship operations and after that, it tends to get bogged down in a quagmire of oddity.

    Not detailed enough for a simulator and not fast paced enough for an action adventure. Coast Guard is a game that needs to decide what it wants to be.

    Seafaring is passable, but on-foot exploration and dialogues evoke a broad range of feelings, from pity to loathing. As for voice-acting, well, it’s sure to cause fits of nervous laughter. [Issue#204, p.88]

    Coast Guard struggles to keep its head above water and offers very little to keep you going back for more.

    Coast Guard has its moments where you start to enjoy yourself but slowly the little niggles start to add up and end up distracting you more and more.

    Adventure and simulation components of Coast Guard are bound by mortar of boredom and technical incompetence. [01/2016, p.59]

    This looks, sounds, and plays like a student project attached to a Unity water physics tech demo.
