Skull and Bones
We played Skull and Bones beta and honestly we have no complaints. This game is so much fun and it has a lot of things. It is kind of like Sea of Thieves but different with a twist.
You basically are out there sailing the seas, completing quests, and leveling up but we ran into the endcap of the beta where your level is as high as you can get it until launch.
Although you are as high as you can get, you can still go around sinking AI ships and complete other quests.
The map is HUGE. We haven’t really seen any PVP only PVE and either way it is fun. You can join up with other players that are out in the sea and invite them to your group which is chill if you need someone to play with. In the settings there is something called auto harvest and it is a life saver with trying to sail beside the island and cut and mine things.
There are all kinds of different items floating at sea and if someone dies, you can go get their loot and stuff that is floating in the sea. Some of the stuff you gather from the sea can be used to repair your boat or you can just hang on to it for quest items.
Trying to board enemy ships is a pain since you have to weaken them down and get up to them and then try to board, then sometimes you are moving to fast and then they move to fast for you to get on. As long as you get one rope on them you are golden but if not you have to keep trying to get on or if you are like me just destroy them and pick up loot afterwards.
Trying to turn the ship is a pain but after awhile you can get use to it.
This game reminds us of Assassins’ Creed Black Flag, Lost Ark and sea of thieves’ just the way it plays.
I highly suggest instead of buying this game, get it through Ubisoft ultimate that way you can test the game before you throw money into it and if you don’t like it, there are other games you can play on the pass.
I highly suggest the pass cause as everyone else said the game tanked. Season one tanked the game. Its nothing but a back and forth runner game with ships. Cool, you can blow up the ships but unlike sea of thieves you cannot get out of the ships. You can’t do half the stuff and personally I liked the game because of that but it just went bad.
