Survival village builder hybrid: This game is changing the standard. Don't overlook based on early game play as it appears to be another in the survival genre but slowly branches out into the robust village manager that you can fine tune to your play style.

different

best game ever made.

A unique combination of genres

something new

This is a survival game that removes some of the stress factors in the genre. While it may seem like any other survival game in the first few hours it fans out into an adventure that you can share with friends and transitions between single player and multiplayer better than most games of the type.

SOLID GAME

other games need to look at npc design in this one. How is it that a 5-6 dollar game can get this right while a triple A game that costs full price plus fees plus micro transactions can't even design basic ones well?

a fun game

This game removes the stress from offline raiding. That said, you will continuously need to move your base as it is a nomadic game. Although this is a fresh approach, I fear that the nomadic emphasis will limit the overall features to the game. As for polish, this game already has it even in the pre-alpha stage. Another refreshing mention is the attempt to not wipe character progress. I feel most developers shoot themselves in the foot with wipes removing all the investment of their players. This company aims to not make that mistake and hopefully will continue to do so in the future. The ship combat does what every pirate game hasn't managed to do which I would say is the strongest point of this game. It is fun, intense and flows between ship and land perfectly. The game world feels a little empty right now and make no mistake, it is a pvp centric game. This game really needs some additional pve content along with some sort of reason for exploring. It also really needs npc villages and if possible refugee npcs to bring onto your ship. While updates appear to be slow they tend to be well thought out and the developers address problems with interesting solutions. All this said I have had a ton of fun and really can not stop playing this wonderful game!
