This game is my childhood and the nostalgia I feel for it will never fade
This game is my childhood and the nostalgia I feel for it will never fade. Nowadays, it's a little clunky and dated but I'll still come back and do a full playthrough(it's much easier than I remember it being in my childhood!). I'd love a remaster or a just a modern retelling-some would argue you'd get that from AC Black Flag but it's just not the same-I just want the same feeling as in Sid Meier's pirates, I don't need the assassinations AC brings. I like the hopping from Island to Island, building favour with the different countries, the janky ballroom dancing minigames and the endless repetitive ship battles. And the sea shanties and music just stays in my brain rent free. Plot is weak but it doesnt really matter because sailing about fighting infamous pirates, building your fleet and your legend is enough-half the time I don't even end up finding the missing family members! Still worth a play in 2026.

This game NEEDS a remake, way beyond its time
This game NEEDS a remake, way beyond its time. It is outdated now, but still some good fun, a remake of this game would absolutely feed families and be one of the few games I'd ever pre-order

One of my best buys this year
In 7.7 hours ive, killed Governors, pirates, Colonels, ive gotten married to the daughter of a Dutch Governor, ive sank enough ships for it to be considered as a massacre and stolen about 7 ships, gotten in about 4 duals, got rejected because my dancing sucks sweaty turtle balls, rejected about 7 daughters of governors and replaced the my ship once
