Not bad, but not great either
User Rating: 6 | Pirates of the Burning Sea PC
The graphics are very nice both at sea and on land. Navigation is done in a straight forward manor with enough complexity at sea to make it interesting. There are large flaws however. Considering the wide beta testing this went through it is surprising to see enormous game stopping bugs still in place such as continuous loading screens not allowing the player to go any farther without aborting the game and reloading. The production system is a very flawed in its design with the implementation of a very low end game without any graphical representation at all. Buildings and production are all in the abstract with icons listed to show which slots have been filled. In game communication is poor causing the user to have to look back and forth between the avatars and dialog window, there is no bubble messages as other games have for when a character is talking. By comparison, a free MMORPG in the pirates setting has equal or greater development. Without a major overhaul, I recommend skipping this one. It has its fun moments but isn't worth it at the price.
