Skull and Bones is finally here, and despite all the negativity surrounding it, I am fully onboard with this game. Let me tell you why.
Summary:
- Skull and Bones delivers exactly what was promised
- The ship-to-ship combat offers a refreshing and streamlined experience
- Microtransactions are cosmetic only, making them less of a concern
- This game has the potential to become a long-lasting pirate adventure
Positive Comments:
BuffaloPancakes11 expressed their concern about supporting a studio with a history of underdelivering, but I believe Skull and Bones is different and worth the support.
Samsquanch-01 mentioned that the game freeze/crash bug on Xbox needs to be addressed, but despite this, they still find the game exciting and promising. It’s just a buzzkill that needs fixing.
Negative Comments:
AnthonyMiqo enjoyed the beta but feels that the game is not worth the full price. They’ll wait for a big sale before considering a purchase.
The3mbered0ne has several gripes with the game, including the lack of an indicator/waypoint system and the time-consuming progress-based advantage that puts new players at a disadvantage. They also criticize Ubisoft for calling it a AAAA game.

Trickopher hopes that the game’s freeze/crash bug on Xbox is just a beta issue and will be resolved for the release. Launch day will determine whether people embrace or reject the game.
Samsquanch-01 mentions that some people may pre-judge the game but hold their verdict until they see how the game performs and develops after updates. They believe it has the potential to become a $70 game eventually.
In conclusion, despite the mixed reviews, Skull and Bones offers an exciting ship combat experience that fulfills the promises made during its announcement. While some users have concerns about bugs and pricing, many are still enthusiastic about supporting this unique pirate adventure. Only time will tell if the game will reach its full potential, but for now, I’m setting sail and diving headfirst into this high-seas adventure.
