Very chill Pirate game. Some complain about the long voyages from place to place, but I find it relaxing. The navigation with the sextant is fun and it kind of teaches you how they work. Overall I think it's a thumbs up. It's a game I can play while on the phone with clients.

Relaxing experience, very nicely made game, the stories, quests and so on are pretty interesting, definitely good for people who like stories and quests, some opponents/combat can be challenging, but it's not hard for experienced players. I really like the game also how content for each new character or game you create changes, because islands are generated always differently. The co-op is very good too, founded…

no optamization or reducing texture quality so if it lags, there isnt a way to fix it except getting better specs, way better games for less than this price
