I've only played the 8 hour trial. It's very flawed in many ways but I actually quite enjoy the loop of pillaging my way towards a new ship. The combat is about on par with black flag, the graphics are good and it can be very atmospheric in storms. The sound mixing is awful though and ruins the atmosphere a bit. As everyone has said, the on shore elements are abysmal and might as well be removed. I certainly wouldn't pay anywhere close to the asking price for it, but I'd say give it a go if you really love pirates. Now the trial is over its time to reinstall Black Flag and continue praying for an actually great pirate game.
A brilliant survival style city builder that I continually come back to. Whilst the loop can be quite small, the achievements give you something to aim for and require you to vary your playstyle. My only wish was that the developer continued to add things, like you see for Rimworld or Factorio, but sadly development finished many years ago.
It has some great comedic moments but falls a bit flat in the end depending on which endings you get. Maybe the impact was lessened since I did play the original back in the day (although I have basically forgotten everything)
