Unlike Diablo or Path of Exile, seasons do not wipe your progression or force you to level a fresh character from scratch.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ship moves well, it's not slow, the combat is enjoyable and flows well, the merchants, the interfaces, the presentation, everything is fine and engaging...
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are stable and well-optimized (my specs: RX 580 8GB + Ryzen 5 2600 +16GB RAM + SSD)...
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is honestly one of the best pirate multiplayer games I have played.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But if you want a naval ARPG with deep buildcraft, legitimate co-op raiding roles, zero seasonal character resets, and endless room for off-meta theorycrafting, it’s a damn good time.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So yeah, game is faaar from perfect... although the AAA budget is pretty visible in gameplay, visuals, music and voice acting.
