This pirate-themed new open-world RPG is what I wish Skull & Bones had been, but be prepared for a slow intro
So basically, a AA studio, combined with a publisher that is still currently being sued by Nintendo, managed to make a game that Ubisoft spent half a billion dollars and a decade to fail at making.
I’ve been playing this game all week. It’s amazing! Exactly the kind of pirate game I want to play.
It’s basically Enshrouded, but pirates in the 1700s instead of a magic/fantasy world. It’s base-building with quests and adventures. And your can sail ships, battle other ships, build your own ships, etc. which is like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, but way better.
I bought the soundtrack for the game on Steam and the entire second disc is just sea shanties! The first disc is the first four sea shanties spiced up with instrumentals for the trailers. Even when I’m not playing this game, I’m rocking this soundtrack while I’m working on my computer.
I’m really enjoying this game. I’m considering reviewing it for my “random screenshots of my games” series. It’s about time I wrote another one of those.
Added it to my wishlist yesterday, looks great. Does the soundtrack give band credits to who’s playing? Wondered who did “Old Maui” in the game preview.
The soundtrack itself doesn’t have any credits listed. On their soundtrack store page on Steam, it says “Kraken Express” (the development company) is the artist, composer, and label, with an “other credits” featuring Seán Dagher.

I’vr not played it, mostly just amused by AAA shooting itself in the balls, but I may have to actually give it a whirl, seems fun!
