The game feels incomplete. The lack of swordplay makes the game suffer. The incentive to dress your character is lost. If the game is 90% on ship 10% land why bother? The only use for your character is to fetch quests and go shopping. Normally I wouldn't complain but for a game that was a decade in the making BOO! You could do better.
The sailing content and naval battles are fun. Nice graphics on the ships. Beautiful laid out map in its expanse. Ill stop short on the review here like they did developing this game.
