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 it's been delayed like 3 years, I'd be shocked if it wasn't terrible at this stage

Try 6. It was supposed to come out 2018.

They should have killed this game a long time ago.

Ubisoft struck Gold with Black flag, made two spin offs that were un popular. Than basically side lined the mechanich for a decade.

Black Flag was good because ubisofts open world formula works great with pirates. Skull and bones would benefit more from being more "generic" / "Ubisoft fourmulaic"

S&B leans closer to stuff like Avengers and other live service games.
