The only proper pirate RPG in the market, competition keep shooting themselves in the foot (a certain AAAA game for example) What is this business strategy called PB ?

July 2024

Played for the first time in 2024, right after finishing Risen 1. Took me 27 hours. It's a good Piranha Bytes game, don't be scared of some negative reviews and give it a go! Pros: -Fast travel points and sprinting -Multiple islands to explore, content feels concise (not too much, not too little) -Many treasures to uncover -Legendary items that passively increase your skills -Very nice pirate setting, feels like an alternative universe -Nice plot and fun dialogues Cons: -No swimming... In a game about pirates? Deep water just teleports you back -Musket gameplay gets a bit tedious in the end -You reach peak of your strength quite fast -Guns do funny things to the ragdoll (YEET) -Some english translations are horrible (shotgun = musket), and one quest is affected (choosing the right chest) -A few story points that do not make sense

April 2024

A bit different than the previous game. The medieval RPG turned into RPG with pirates, and it was fun to play. Improved graphics, different mechanics, better fights, a more interesting plot that even surprised me at one point, and, above all, much better dialogues. They have funny texts and they comment on what is happening around. Some of the fights against more important opponents were average and there were a few moments where I was like: "Why?" or "How?", and "Something is not right here", but in the end I'm glad I played this game.

March 2024

This game was really surprising to me. Going in i did not expect to like it much due to the whole pirate setting as well as having access to flintlock weaponry/guns. 40 hrs in and I am having a blast with this title! I was going to skip it, but decided to pick it up and give it a fair try. Glad I did! made me a big fan of pirate settings, which i did not care for before. Love it.

Dec. 2023

I liked the story and the system of hero development (skills and abilities). Also for + there are few islands to visit (few different places) that makes the gameplay not constant and boring. For - is that there are not many clothes to dress nor weapon diagrams. Total rate: weak 8/10 :D
