A great nostalgic game you never finish
#Summary (70%): ‘Pirates!’ is colourful, fun, and a fantastic game, at least in short bursts. If you want to play the entire story mode, it becomes too simplistic, stale, and repetitive, though. #Review: ‘Sid Meier’s Pirates!’ is a cult classic, both in its original form and in this faithful 3D reimagination. It embodies every single pirate adventure fantasy any child ever had. Do you want to partake in acrobatic sword fights? Do you wish to search for pirate treasure and Inca gold? Do you want to sail the Caribbean, plundering ships or capturing enemy towns in the name of the Crown? This game has plenty of each. ‘Pirates!’ is all about giving freedom to the player. We can do whatever we want, the entire Caribbean is our playground. We can trade, plunder, conquer, or barter. We can jump allegiances faster than a stockbroker. We are also not hampered by any kind of story since the game has none. We are a young man whose family was kidnapped… and that is it. We search for them while getting filthy rich. That sums up the entire plot. On the flip side, ‘Pirates!’ is barely more than an endless stream of minigames interwoven by long sea trips. Are you visiting a port? Prepare for a dance minigame, a duel minigame, or both. Did you accept a mission from someone? Well, it will always end up in at least one naval battle, so more duel minigames. No matter what you do, the game is sailing, dancing, and duels. Sometimes there is some variety when you sneak into a town, search for treasure, or attack a settlement. The thing is, those minigames are not fun. They are bad, frankly. I swear it is easier to increase your relationship by hunting a dozen pirates than sneaking around in town. As a whole, I admit that ‘Pirates!’ is fun. I would go as far as saying that it is still the best of its kind to this day. Still, it is only fun for a few hours at best before the self-repeating grind starts to wear you out.
