Choice of the Pirate

Very fun and engaging! Still remember all of my playthroughs! Would definitely recommend

I've played quite a few Choice of games (or at least text-based games) but for those who haven't, this is a good one to start out on to familiarize yourself with the genre. No visuals here, just a story where you control the main character through your choices, which shape the game experience. The story here is good as well as accessible, which is pretty typical of Choice of games. There are some different endings depending on your options, although choices don't have as much of an impact as they do in some of the other games. It was pretty easy to get all of the achievements (in some choice games, I've struggled to find the right combo to unlock some elusive achievements). Another plus is the gender/sexuality options. Neither your gender nor your sexuality has an impact on the story, and you have a good variety of ways you can interact with other characters. The characters themselves are mostly interesting, although there are several minor characters who pop in and out but don't add much. Not all choices have an impact on the story, but there's enough variety that you can still have different experiences on multiple playthroughs.

8/10

Cambiante

I really liked this one, choice of robots is still my favourite CYOA game but being a pirate is always fun. My only complaint is it seems too short and ends very abruptly. My time played is not accurate as i clicked away with the window open.

A light and somewhat enjoyable read.

A great game, if you like choose your own adventure kind of games, and you aren't lazy enough to read. It is well-written, with plenty of interesting characters and choices to make. I really enjoyed replaying the game to discover all the possible outcomes. If you are familiar with other Choice of Games titles, this one could easy be put among the best one. If, however, you are new to this kind of games, and you like pirates, you won't be disappointed. Choice of the Pirate offers you a possibility to live your own adventure unlike any other.

Good

“Choice of the Pirate” is a fast-paced swashbuckler of an interactive novel that gives you genuine freedom to define the kind of pirate you want to be. I finished it years ago but didn’t write a review that did the game justice; hence, this desperately needed update. (8/10) Whether you lean toward diplomacy, combat, or weather magic, the game accommodates your approach without pushing you toward cruelty or villainy to succeed. That flexibility was what I enjoyed most and made it easy to get invested in the world. The setting is atmospheric and the writing moves at a good pace throughout. Romance options are fully inclusive, though romance is lighter here than in many other Choice of Games titles and shouldn't be your primary reason for picking it up. Instead, it should be seen as a welcome addition to an already engaging story with multiple endings that hold up well on replay. If you enjoy pirate adventures with meaningful identity options and a story that respects your choices, this is well worth a few playthroughs. (8/10)
