Skull and Bones is disappointing Review

So I got into the Beta, you get to play for 6 hours. This game is not what I was expecting. Online only game and due to this the visuals aren't all that great. Out of the 4 tasks I've done three were fetch quests. The voices don't quite match the mouth oddly.

We could have had a really good single player story here and online functionality similar to Sea of Theives but unfortunately it's far from it.

Waited ages for this but genuinely disappointed in what they've come out with.

I mean the game was announced as online only like 2 years ago so I mean I felt like you and everyone else should’ve went in with those expectations. Also your comparison to The Division is crazy bc that game is great.

The only thing stopping this game from being good is the overall design. The fact I’m confined to only my ship in a pirate game (outside of hub areas) is incredibly soul crushing and ruins any potential the game might’ve had. Not being able to go on land and fight players and NPCs or find treasure makes this game a worse Sea of Thieves and I don’t even like that game because all the progression is cosmetic only.

The game was announced as online only when it was first announced. In fact at first it was supposed to be just PvP matches like R6Siege.
