Based on the 222 user scores recorded to date, Skull and Bones’ user score is sitting at just 2.8 out of 10, making it the lowest-rated game of 2024 released thus far when ranked by user score alone.

Shocked!! It was such a well managed game!/s

    I don’t know all these 1’s and 0’s are as believable as all the 10’s or 9’s and therefor the whole user score is pretty much useless 😅

    I think Opencritic gives quiet a good overview where the game is standing at the moment with it’s 6 out of 10 and most of the reviews scored it somewhere between a 6 and a 7 which is fair for the game I would say.

    Good thing is there is a Trial you can try out and see if the games click with you and if the missing gameplay on foot is really bothering you that much. Also you already can find the game pretty much for half the price at least on pc, which I would argue is a much more reasonable price point for this game and Ubisoft should never have marketed it for 70€ which is way to high for this kind of game.

    I’d give it a 2 out of 5 based on the open beta. It’s pretty and sailing is fun. It is well polished but bland.

      Game companies seem to think that all people want nowadays is amazing graphics, so they put all of their effort into that instead of gameplay, world building and story telling.

        I feel like that’s what happened. The gameplay loop is bland and the game has no charm or character. They literally just needed to make Black Flag multiplayer and they fucked it up.
