What players say

91% of 5,376 reviews are positive · 83% of 49 in the last 30 days

Players praise the varied crew abilities and the planning behind coordinated stealth attacks. Many say revisiting islands with similar guard placements gets repetitive, and some find the story and dialogue unengaging. Others report crashes and progression-blocking bugs.
