I know it's against the meta, but I actually like this game. Get it at a decent price point (got it for 38€) and if the gameplay clicks with you, you will have quiet a fun game. No GOTY participant but surely a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 which in my world is still a good game and not a 'weak' one.

Oddly it reminds me a lot of Freelancer, you sail, you fight, you trade, you humm to the shanties, you upgrade your gear and ship and sometimes you do all of that together with other players. I don't care for the hand to hand combat or the land gameplay of Blackflag cause these were actually the things I liked the less, and to be honest I also would not need the land gameplay in Skull and Bones since the real character of the game is your ship.
