The game itself is mechanically fun and satisfying. the progression is mainly cosmetic with some factions to sell treasure to for some extra cosmetic options and the opportunity to earn the tittle of Pirate legend which unlocks further content. Understand that this is a sailing based game in an open world. You choose what you want to do but always remember that other players are out there. With all sailing however there is always downtime where nothing much happens. Be sure to keep your wits about you however because that can change in an instant at any time.

Notes on the player experience:
If you know how to fight and have friends to play with, this game will be a ton of fun. But if you can't do either then be ready to be run over by people who make it their priority 1 to ruin your day along with anyone else they come across. It's to be expected after all, because its basically in the name. If you really want to run into other people you can have some friendly banter with, then stick to the tactic of keeping your guard up and not attacking someone until the first ♥♥♥♥ has been fired.
