This game had such potential to be the quintessential pirate sim, which could've made it a dream game for me. Instead, it's a GaaS model without a lot of great endgame content, which is pretty much required in the GaaS model. The game came out super barebones, and has gotten better over the years, but it STILL feels super barebones. At least as far as meaningful content goes. I also kinda hate the art style, but that's just a personal preference. I guess I'll keep holding out hope for Rockstar to make a pirate game (what a dream) and Black Flag will stay on top for now.
