Disappointment and Criticism: The First Reactions to the Open Beta
of Skull and Bones
On Reddit, numerous critical voices express that they do not attribute the hoped-for quality to the game. We have summarized some comments for you.
Schnogg5018 emphasizes that many players wished for a single-player pirate experience that builds on the success of Black Flag: Instead, they took eight years to develop a multiplayer game that mainly focuses on the naval battles of AC4. […]
Players are also dissatisfied with the gameplay. Timtheringityding describes the combat experience as mediocre compared to Black Flag and misses the need to properly position the ship and to be able to leave the ship freely. In Skull and Bones, you simply shoot in 360 degrees. The battles are too simplistic.
- Terakian summarizes it graphically with the following words:
The free BETA was overpriced.
- Another player emphasizes:
Although the free beta can be played for several days, I uninstalled it after about an hour. A bunch of “Get and Take”, no real substance.
Overall, the community is disappointed with the Skull and Bones beta. Many players express a desire for more features and a deeper gaming experience to truly feel like pirates. It remains to be seen whether the development team will respond to the feedback. Currently, players are advising against purchasing the game.
