    Watched some gameplay of this, it seems like the same basic survival crafting game we’ve seen 1000 times, but this time pirate themed.

      I watched some gameplay with titles like: this game is actually amazing or a pirate game that slaps or whatever. And it was just genuinely underwhelming

      not every good game has to innovate, some games take what’s already been made and improve/combine it in a way that elevates them above other ones.

      not saying this game fits the descriptions - it’s on my wishlist but i’ll make a judgement when i can actually play it. but just saying that just because it’s been done before, doesn’t mean it can’t be good

      The naval combat is pretty much AC4, plus you get a decent survival game, land combat, crafting and management mechanics for your ship, and boarding combat. Everything people have been requesting Ubisoft to do for years.

      There was also one with a ship in a bottle, but I don’t know the details on it.

      Yeah, too often bought games like this only for no one to care about it a month later. Now I won’t ever buy one in launch and instead wait a while to see if anyone is still playing it or not. Some do remain popular like Valheim but you also get quite a few that become irrelevant.
