I played the game for basically nothing, having utilized game pass to do so. Despite this, I still left my 3 hour experience feeling like I had been robbed. Simply put, Skull and Bones doesn't feel like a video game. The start of the game is so incredibly rushed. There's no explanation for our current predicament, at least not one that made me care in any way about who or why I was. I was surprised how casually the greedy captain just gave me a ship of my own and it made no sense, neither did it make sense how quickly I became insanely wealthy, able to customize and buy anything I wanted. It was around 2 hours in when I realised what the software was up to... It was a micro transaction simulator, a software created to pressure me to purchase more. Instead of quality tutorials, the game just drags you into menus that are always ready to remind you to purchase the season pass. The game is desperately eager to show you everything you can buy with real money, it reminded me of the aggressive street beggars in central London. "Just £5 for a new costume, please I need it". This nonsense is magnified by the games systems being absolutely skin deep. There is no substance to anything at all. For example, I simply cannot understand why the ship combat is so incredibly basic when it forms the main focus of the game. There's no combat on land, or real exploration to do. I have to make this comparison - S&B is pretty much a primitive, ugly, stripped back Assassin's Creed Black Flag. If I had to take a guess at why it was released, I think Ubisoft probably thought they could recoup some of the development costs up to the point they realised they had a boring software, so slapped on all the micro transactions. Do yourself a favour, try something else instead.
