If someone is expecting something like Black Flag, it's better not to buy it... if they like World of Warships and want something similar but in a different era, they might enjoy it... the graphics are decent... in terms of gameplay... it's purely the known compulsion of "play to improve your gear" etc. etc. Okay, normal stuff... those who "trash it" are the ones who were expecting something super different,,, no, it's just a nice little game... and at the time I'm writing, it has a good discount, which was also the reason I bought it, but it had made a relatively good impression on me with its demo... which anyone can play before buying to see!
