Too much First Person Perspective

A couple hours in, all I could really experience was a first person perspective, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid. Had the game been tagged as such, I would not have purchased.

Worst game I have ever played. No Joke.

Akella is king when it comes to garbage. I am baffled that other people have left good reviews for this game. Lets start with a fact. Akella, the developer, went out of business. So it's obvious the games didn't sell well and for good reason. I'm the guy among my friend group that likes bad games. I accept most games good and bad because I have a love and appreciation for the ideas and experiments made in a product even if it fails to deliver them. I liked Mighty No. 9. I liked No Mans Sky. I liked Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5. Some games I can't stand but can accept they are a genre not for me. However, this is something else. It totes all of the exciting adventure elements of an open world AAA game. And yet, it fails miserably. Here is everything wrong with this game: - It recycled the assets and almost everything from the previous game (Caribbean Tales). You are basically paying for patches. Even even the towns are clones of each other WITHIN THE GAME. - There is no tutorial. It has a mess of a UI and the easiest difficulty is so punishing that if you mess up you might as well start a new game. Quests are often too vague to follow. - There is a quest where you get murdered. No joke, there is no way out of it. I wonder how that is supposed to be fun for the player. - In ship combat, you are forced to engage the enemy. You always spawn far enough apart that if you are chasing the enemy, you will never catch them. When the situation is reverse, the chase will go on forever, because they will never get far enough away to trigger the escape option. - You can easily kill one enemy in front of you but are easily killed when fighting two or more. WTF? - Prepare to sail from point A to point B repeatedly with no action for 20 or so hours. That is the amount of income you need to start anything interesting, like attacking ships. - Naval Combat/Movement is slow and the turbo mode is only 2x speed, which is still freaking slow. - You never have enough money ever.

Horrible UX

While I think this game might be fun for some, I find controls and in-game information very poor and overall playing experience very frustrating. It is a shame, because you can clearly see that this game has some potential - wasted by horrible UX.

More like Sea Dog-Shit

This game is absolutely terrible. Even with the "Gentlemen of Fortune" mod, this game feels like an unfinished early-access title. Just watch any "Let's Play" of this game on YouTube and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. It plays as bad as it looks and there's no manual either, so have fun figuring out how to do things. If you want a good pirate game, get the far-superior Sid Meier's Pirates! (either the 2004 reboot or the "Gold" remaster of the original). Alternatively consider Tempest or Windward.

No directions or Tutorial

How the hell do you play a game that doesn't even give you a directions on how to play or a tutorial. 1 star for no directions.
