Recensioni di Caribbean Legend: Age of Pirates

First of all, I'm a huge fan of the Sea Dogs series. I would have liked to leave a positive review, but unfortunately this game doesn't deserve one yet. It has enormous potential because there are many interesting mechanics, but at the moment it feels like playing a poor beta version of Caribbean Legend. The quests are poorly written, and it's often unclear what you're supposed to do. You end up spending 90% of your time saving and reloading for a thousand different reasons. The game is terribly unbalanced, both in terms of economy and combat. Selling stolen goods is pointless since the profits are usually insignificant, and quest rewards are far too low compared to the expenses involved. The worst part, however, is the naval combat. It's incredibly boring. Manual aiming serves no real purpose, and about 90% of the shots fired with auto-aim somehow miss the target. Meanwhile, enemy ships have much cleaner and more accurate aim, forcing you to avoid most naval engagements altogether. Even when your shots do hit, the damage dealt is negligible, even when using medium-caliber cannons. Most battles are resolved immediately through boarding actions (when possible); otherwise, they quickly become tedious. If you're looking for a truly engaging pirate game, you're better off buying Caribbean Legend base game. This game may eventually become enjoyable once its mechanics catch up to Caribbean Legend's standards, but until then, it's best to stay away from it.
