## Review summary

Raiders of the North Sea is praised for being a faithful and visually appealing adaptation of the board game, with a good solo AI and helpful tutorial. Users enjoy the game's graphics and animations as well as asynchronous multiplayer. However, many users report long loading times and an audio issue where the game forcibly pauses other music apps. Multiplayer online suffers from instability including frequent disconnections and crashes. Some mention lack of save/resume options in pass and play mode and frustration with perceived randomness and difficulty in single-player challenges.
