I enjoyed the setting and characters but their backstories/cut scenes were purposefully verbose and whiny. Game was far from the original concept which was what I was looking for. Save your money, do not buy, even if it is on sale.

i wish this game is good but feels clunky, in the start of the game i already feels on the saint-anne island the clunkyness on the moviment and the camera to close of the character, i feel to much materials that i wont use on early game that i even cant construct a new ship before doing main quests, so they are just to fill your bag with a bunch of materials, then i go to the sea and feels again the infinished sea combat, the cannons feels bad, even black flag with 12 years ago feels amazing, and just this week i think they release a new camera over the shoulder on your ship, before that was first person, then you have a bunch of islands that you can trade materials but you even dont know what you gonna use in the future, but again i dont play enough to feels the mid endgame, in resume i feels like a unfinished game that have 8 years of development and almost a year of patches and feels clunky and that rumor that ubisoft will be sell or dismantle, so if this happen how the updates will continue? this is the question, if the game in the future became good i change the review, but i need to came here and trie to warn the people on what they are get in to.

Bought game on Steam...have to deal with third party %$#* website to play the game which is nightmare of inefficiency.

awful game ship movement is terrible no real story line clunky and cheap not even worth it on sale just refunded it
