Sea of Thieves is a much more exciting pirate game. Skull and Bones is tedious. The combat is more arcade like than Sea of Thieves and typically just devolves into circle fighting to get your target low enough health so you can grapple and board the ship which ends combat. The missions are all very unimaginative to grind materials needed to upgrade your ship or get some decor. I would be hard pressed to pay $30 for this game let alone $70.
