This little thing.

15 ships get dropped into the sea and only one can remain. It's still pretty barebones since only just entered early access, but it's got some future because of the interesting theme.

Watched it streamed. Looks fun, not something I can drop money on right now though.

As for the EA, It seems to be mechanically finished. What remains is balancing, ironing bugs and adding more content. Undead fleet was already announced (there's humans, orcs and dwarves in game). I also like how fast matches are.

The Gorger is made for boarding action, but I'm not quite sure how to play this way. Using canister shot to whittle down enemy crew seems have not much benefit when you actually fail to board.

Boarding isn't nearly as important as ramming.

Well boarding should be a valid strategy, I can see it working in duos where you grab some lone sucker and other guy guns him down.

The problem with boarding is that apart from pinning down your target and letting you put the shortrange guns to them, crew loss is a debuff rather than a loss-condition. Apparently boats are just autonomous.
