Old classic
Highly recommend for everyone interested in the age of sails. The graphics is completely oudated as long as some game mechanics, but the naval battle is still one of the best on the market: it keeps perfect balance between arcade and simulator to be interesting for everyone. There are also plenty of various quests and it is always something new to explore

Not so good
I think the idea is awesome but the game is just not finished, its buggy and crashes regularly. All in all its faults detract from the playing experience and it is simply is not worth it. I wish developers would finish making games before selling them sometimes.

Skip this
Everything about this game is so incredibly bad and boring. It takes the concept of starting from the bottom to its most extreme and requires you to do a bunch of horrible busy-work within terribly design mechanics before you can really enjoy and engage the game. It's a RPG so you start out terrible at everything. In ship combat your crew won't be able to hit anything and its designed in such a way that any or all hits against your ship will take out crew - and their experience with them. It becomes a zero-sum game where you take little or no steps getting better as you grind out experience against crappy pirates who still end up being better than you. The AI also is really bad. They seem to have two modes: sail straight at you or sail away from you. All the time they're continually shooting at you. You can, maybe, catch up to them if the wind is at your back but expect to sail into it more often than not and move at the speed of molassas. Until you grind out experience for your crew, you need to be point-blank in order to hit anything. Ground combat is even worse. It's a disjointed mess of button mashing, stamina management and holding down space to block. The more you get damaged the worse your abilities get. 1 on 1 you can easily dominate foes without engaging with managing your (extremely slowly) recharging stamina but more often than not you fight multiple foes and it becomes a game of holding down block until you have enough stamina to hit them once before blocking so more. It's not quick or responsive enough for the amount of enemies the game throws at you. It's incredible awkward and unsatisfying. If you're looking for a pirate game skip this one. It's more frustating and tedious than it is fun. All of the mechanics from sailing to combat are just badly designed and not engaging.

Roughly Perfect
For from perfect yet still somehow.. perfect - Akella's games are an enigma. Like a Bethesda or Black Isle with less resources, they manage to put out buggy, overly ambitious titles that manage to be greater than the sum of their parts. Combine that with good customer support, active communities, and endless and accessible modding and you have the makings of a PC gaming classic. Akella's games are a labor of love and it shows, and still the best, largest, most diverse sailing sim you'll find on the market without lashing your boat to whatever DRM-packed nonsense Ubisoft is popping out.

the best of something bad is still bad
the game offers an open world with a lot of items to trade and adventures and quest to have (i am pretty sure that they are there) then it puts between that and you as much as unfairness and frustration as it can because the entire world is against you you try to move from A to B and are assaulted constantly, I have been attacked after having dodge one spanish and one british fleet to end being attacked by pirates.... (and i was using the start game option fewer encounters, that has to be a joke....) the naval combat, it starts with your ship stopped and the enemy ship going 2x your speed, and there is no way to flee, only option is to start boarding ships. no mechanic to easily flee makes the game slow and breaks your fun And the moment that boarding starts, you are on your own, my record is 1 versus 8 in a battle 4 hours after having started the game. uninstalling it (only good thing is that discounted is affordable and at least now i know that i should not buy similar games of the series) with less enemy ships constantly attacking you and without all the entire caribbean sea attacking you it could have been fun
