Fun and addicting!

Anyone who loved the sailing and pirating aspects of AC Black Flag simply NEEDS this game. Im absolutely stuck on it since I got it. The starter pack with the Dragon brig was definitely worth it, between the ship (also comes with a +5% power customization available when you get the ship) and the 2x XP perk. The perks system is great for having different "loadouts" for whatever kind of pirating you want to do—arm yourself for power and take on Royal Navy and Legendary ships, or use the Golden Touch perk to nab extra gold when sinking merchant ships. Im doing that a lot lately, trying to save for the Citadel frigate.
So far, there hasnt been one disappointing aspect to me. I just hate the cannon attacks from the bigger ships that cant be dodged; you literally have to just sit there and take the hit if you dont have a spider shot available. Better make sure your ship is up to the task!

Waiting for Aurebesh about Assassin's Creed Pirates, v2.9.0
