A swashbuckling open-world adventure where you sail, plunder, and battle in a stylized Caribbean sandbox.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy the core naval combat and historically accurate ship models, but nearly all reviews say the game was abandoned early and feels unfinished. Many note a very short campaign, lack of endgame content, and persistent bugs, especially in VR where it is nearly unplayable. Players split between calling it a fun, simpler alternative to Sea of Thieves or a wasted potential.
