Not good, but not terrible. Your typical Ubisoft schlop. Game loop is fine. Get it on sale and ignore the cash shop. Otherwise, play Sea of Thieves.

A surprisingly fun yet very flawed game. It's clear that the developers weren't really sure what they wanted to make for a while, so it has remnants of an attempt at a survival game (but they've been mostly sanded off, thanfully). The naval combat reminds me of Black Flag, but it has slightly more depth to it (as most modern open world games do, it has a bunch of "RPG-lite" features, though in this case I don't think they detract from the experience) There's PvP and it seems like at some point it was considered a major part of the game, but I don't really like to PvP nowadays cause I'm old and grumpy, so I haven't really engaged with it. Thankfully there's also a lot of PvE stuff to do, between just going around attacking AI controlled vessels to plundering settlements, or doing quests and some light empire building. Overall, it's closer to Sid Meier's Pirates! than any other comparisons that would come to mind. It has a lot of modern junk like a battlepass, seasonal events that are timegated and stuff like that, but the core of the game is definitely inspired by Pirates! (and it reminds me of the sad fact that we haven't actually had a new Pirates! game in 20 years) Performance-wise, it runs surprisingly well, though it doesn't really look super amazing (it doesn't look terrible either, just middle of the pack, really). For full price I'd say it's not really the best purchase you could make, but at 60% off, it's a pretty fun timewaster if you are into Age of Sail ships and don't mind fantastical elements and weird anachronisms.

Whoever was in charge of advertising this game is bad at their job and fits right in at Ubisoft. Shoot ships to loot them. Shoot towns to loot them. Go to a town to sell your loot. And than shoot them to loot them. Quests are kind enough to tell you where to find ships that carry items you need, and honestly the trade route system in this game is pretty fun. Want a certain type of resource; just sail its trade route and plunder away. Or follow it all the way to its source town, and plunder it from there. Or both. You're a Pirate, if the random crowd of people who go from making fun of you to cheering your name after 2 minutes are to be believed. The problem is they put a lot of (needless) effort into also making it look good, thus the bloated price tag. The pure gameplay loop itself I would pay $30 for now adays, which is the price I would happily pay for a good high quality indie game in this day and age. I expect a AAA A game to offer more for its value than just graphics. We're past the point where that is appealing unless you're a sports game fan.

Kingdom Hearts 3 naval combat without the Disney magic Sea of Thieves without the first-person experience or immersive ship management or physically carrying chests on your ship or the Disney magic Pirates of the Caribbean Online (shut down years ago) without the classic MMO experience or MMO character level stats/level progression Pirates 101 without the turn-based tactics or episodic cinematics or goofiness or coherent(?) storyline or British magic (there's still British people but they're all enemies in Skull and Bones) War Thunder without the realism or immersive combat or intense team-based warfare or match-based queues or team-based objectives or year-long (in real life) waits to progress to the next vehicle tier World of Warships without the tedium or silly combat style (Skull and Bones is silly in a different way) Got the game for $24 Looks like a $40-60 game (graphics-wise) Plays like a 15 robux roblox game Feels like a free MMO game

I'll be real here. This ain't the best game of the year, it maybe even the last few years, maybe even the last ten. Maybe this game isn't even enjoyable and the worms finally got the rest of my brain. I've been having fun with it. It's fun to just hop in and blow some shit up, now that I understand what I am doing. In essence, you sail around and shoot stuff with a boat. No land combat, all boats. Pretty straightforward, RPG style progression bs, season pass, usual ubisoft evasiveness. This game is in no way worth 60-70-80 whatever the asking price was at start, but for 20 bucks? Hell yeah. If you can get past the ass ubisoft shit (A high barrier, I admit) I think it is worth 20 bucks to engage in casual boat fuckery. Do not buy this game if you are expecting anything remotely realistic. Fucking sea of thieves is a more realistic depiction of naval combat.
