Skull and Bones

Skull and Bones is basically my dream of becoming a legendary pirate, except apparently being a pirate involves an absolutely unreasonable amount of collecting things. “Go get some wood.” Sure. “Now get metal.” Okay. “Now get better wood.” Wait, didn't I just— “GET MORE WOOD.” At some point I stopped being a pirate and became a very aggressive lumberjack with a ship. The sailing is fantastic, though. Cruising across the ocean, watching storms roll in, spotting another player in the distance and immediately wondering: “Are we friends?” “Are we enemies?” “Can I steal their stuff?” Naval combat is where the game really shines. Nothing beats lining up a perfect broadside, watching the cannons fire, and feeling like an absolute pirate legend. Unless you miss. Then you spend the next 30 seconds sailing in a circle trying to turn the world's least manoeuvrable bathtub back toward the enemy. The progression is addictive too. You start with a humble little ship and slowly turn it into a floating war crime covered in cannons. And somehow, after all that work, my greatest enemy remains rocks. A fantastic pirate adventure where I sail the seas, blow up ships, collect enough materials to rebuild the entire Caribbean and occasionally discover that the ocean has apparently installed invisible walls called “rocks.”

Commenting on another review I saw. This game is NOT Elite Dangerous in the sea. Not even close.

This game has a little of a identity crisis. It has assets, graphics and cutscenes like its a RPG, but then everything you do is numbers in arcade-like fights. It plays like a twin-stick shooter in which you need to kill enemies to fulfill quests and unlock the next piece of upgrade. It doesnt feel really piratey, its way too flashy, reminds me of Battlefield or so sometimes including the rock music. That being said, what is there is also pretty fun, a nice game loop of going out there trashing things come back with the loot and currencies and unlock the next level or thing and go return to kill more. Just don't expect a realistic pirate game.

i dont get why this game got soo much hate i like it im having fun with it

game is actually good if you're not into swordfighting or swimming lmao.

[h1]Only worth it on deep 90% discount[/h1] [b]It's an arcady, fantasy ship combat game that did get better after 2 years[/b] Don't expect the quality and content from Black Flag, even as this started as multiplayer DLC for it. Skull & Bones lacks good story, ground combat, climbing and exploration. Instead it offers now more ships, even large ships similar to Man O' War, fantasy style combat with Poison, Fire and other elements, large red glowing weak points, boss ship fights and tons of challenges to complete. It has classic Ubi problems of convoluted menus with menus upon menus, lazy balance for higher difficulties (World tiers copied from Division so you die in 1-2 hits), tons of expensive paid cosmetics like glowing ship skins, skeleton as player character and pvp is so bad that you have to manually turn it on, can't attack anyone else who hasn't also turned it on or you're forced into pvp for 2 factions war missions and you die in a second and gain nothing from killing other players. Overall, IF you're looking for a Black Flag like fun pirate game, look elsewhere. But if you're okay with arcady naval combat game, where you shoot glowing bullets, get to control large ships and play in mostly pve content with tons of things to finish, for $3 it's worth it. Game trial won't show you much, the start is slow and can feel difficult, as combat is level and heavily stat based.
