What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I never 100%ed it or really ever played beyond the story.
The focus on story missions without the distraction of side adventures is nice when you’re looking for a concise game with a reasonable 10-20 hours of gameplay.
Going in I'd say the graphics are nice and aged well.
Character variety: over 70 playable pirates, officers, sea creatures, and cursed souls, each with distinct weapons or abilities that encourage experimentation in Free Play.
Even without voice acting, scenes like Jack Sparrow’s grand entrance into Port Royal or Davy Jones’ sinister appearances are instantly recognizable and effectively delivered.
Like all the LEGO games, this one is another fantastic “couch co-op” game: whether playing together at home or remote playing together from anywhere in the world!

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
