tldr: fun with friends or for a short session but not worth the money if not on sale the good: nice idea and i personally like the atmosphere of the game a lot the bad: the game dies at least once an hour with errors, but this shouldn't be new to anyone who ever played a ubisoft game - their "quality" is legendary the ugly: * the controls are not really intuitive no matter if you play with keyboard/mouse or controller * overview in the world map is a nightmare - too many colorful icons and most of the time you are searching where you have to go for your currently active quest. and what about the other 20 you currently have accepted?:-)
Average graphics, clunky controls, soulless plot, confusing grind. My biggest mistake in years. After just 30 minutes, I knew: this game isn't for me—it's no fun at all. Unfortunately, returns weren't allowed.
honestly its a good game if you dont expect to much so i would say get it on sale like i did other than that its not worth full price
За 2.99 евро так это вообще прекрасно :) Очень много попадалось видосов и комментариев что игра полный отстой, поэтому мало на нее смотрел .. скидка порешала. Ничего ужасного я в ней не увидел, наоборот понравилось, гоняешь себе, грабишь суда, ищешь сокровища, параллельно есть задания, прокачка корабля, визуальные плюшки, командные сражения… вечером без напряга с дэком в руках, да за такие деньги, вообще сказка :) На деке на низких работает хорошо без лагов, так же сервера не гонят и юбисофт конект особо не достает.
First thing first, i play mostly on Xbox so my hours don't represent the full time i spent, i was happy when this game came out on release. a "return to sea, like black-flag" but thee grind was... pushing a stone uphill. Painfully and repetitive. Stopped playing after a transfer to pc (built the pc and cross-saving) after a bit, the 6 hours i was content with the gameplay waiting for land combat. Until I learn that they stopped working on it in back April. - truly disappoint, but then again this is Ubisoft
Ich für meinen Teil kann sagen das es ein sehr gutes Piratenspiel ist mit einen sehr guten Schiffkampf. Das Spiel kann ja nichts für die verkorkste Werbekampagne... Top Spiel mit einen viel zu schlechten Ruf.
Es un buen juego de barcos piratas, al menos las primeras 20-30 horas, luego ya es demasiado repetitivo, no es un juego de piratas, tiene muchas limitaciones. Dentro de lo bueno está su banda sonora y sus gráficos; los combates son divertidos al principio, pero luego es todo igual. Solo lo recomiendo si está en oferta.
There has been a black screen bug that they can't be bothered to fix for years. If you use HDR, thing that will display is the UI. I played it at launch on the Ubisoft Launcher, and this issue existed then. I thought I would give it a try now on Steam, and this is still a problem. It might seem like a minor issue, but it's pure carelessness on their end to let this perpetuate this long.
Best Game i have played. Thank you for your wonderful game and support :)
Peinlich! Das Spiel ''hatte'' viel Potential, aber was am Ende daraus wurde reicht meiner Meinung nach nur zum Mobile-Phone-Game. Ubisoft ist eines der größten Spieleentwicklungskonzern der Welt, hat Abermillionen in die Entwicklung gesteckt und am ende wurde es einfach nur Müll. Verstehe ich persönlich nicht. Für mich ist Ubisoft einfach nur am Ende, was Neuentwicklungen betrifft! Machen aber trotzdem Milliarden im Jahr Gewinn, mit DLCs, Remastered Schrott und Mikrotransaktionen wie Premium Plunder..... Selbst ANNO ist mittlerweile einfach nur noch ausgelaugt und besteht aus den Kauf von Pay DLCs...... Schämt euch was Ubisoft, ihr verarscht einfach nur noch eure Kunden und die sind auch noch so dämlich euch zu unterstützen! Ich hätte mir niemals dieses Game Gekauft, aber dachte mir für 2,99€ kann mans mal testen.
