Game is bizzarely well made for what it is. If you want to play a ship sim kinda game this fits the bill. It's not like Sea of Theives but more like Assassins Creed Black Flag. Having a good time so far. Would have be REAL cool to be able to do coop with a friend who could be on the deck of the ship running around doing stuff but the way it is, is still pretty cool.

This is the closest thing we are going to get to Black Flag. Its simple but its fun. The story is good, the graphics are what they are, the gameplay is great.

Ever wanted a non head ache inducing Sea of thieves that doesnt blind you with bloom effects nor disconnects at all times? Well, this is "we have Sea of Thieves at home"! For better or for worse, a simpler yet chiller (albeit very buggy) experience for obviously a fraction of the price.

Playtested this all the way back in 2021, and still had to finish the game, looking forward to fully finishing it and relive my navy adventures from back in 2021, the game is a lot of fun and that is the most important part. I am normally not a fan of the character pack that is used in the game, but it's so much fun that the graphics don't matter. Ship battles, fort battles, ship captures, name it and it's in the game.

This game has allot of potential to be really good. it just needs honestly some more detail and polish. and I don't mean the graphics, the graphics are passable in my opinion. I just want more content is all. Buccaneers has the skeleton to a very good pirate game, it just needs a few extra features and it'd be one of the best singleplayer pirate games on the market. If I could make a few suggestions to content additions. 1:More Ship Customization. I don't mean just cannons and hull improvement. I wanna be able to make my ship my own, change the shape, add new things onto it that you can physically see on the ship. you can change the color of your ship but that's about it. 2:A pinch of Fantasy. This is just a personal opinion and isn't really needed, but a surprise attack from a Kraken or ghost ship would be pretty cool. the ship combat is good but gets repeateitve after awhile, it's either boats or forts, you're not fighting much else, and it doesn't require much strategy outside of shoot them or board them. so having a beast I couldn't board for example could be cool, also add a pinch of fear to sailing if you could run into a giant squid that could destroy your ship. 3:Alliance Change. I don't like that you choose your faction from the beginning and that's it, you're in that faction for the rest of the run. Pirates changed allegance all the time based on who paid them the most. so It'd be nice if instead of having factions that just default hate and fight you, you could have perhaps a "likeness" and you can increase how much a faction likes you by doing missions for their faction, but that would make other factions mad at you, so you could still try to improve relationships with them, you'd just have an upward kill to climb, just like any traitor to a faction. 4:crew customization and interaction. as the game is all you do is buy some NPC's from a tavern. It'd be nice to be able to higher special NPC's that are stronger then a normal NPC, and give them equipment to make them stronger, as well as being able to interact with them so you grow attached to them before they die lol. no matter what faction you're in you're gonna eventually wanna talk to the people you're sailing weeks on end with. There's plenty more additions this game could benefit from, that's just what comes to mind immediately. as it is Buccaneers is a decent, if not a good game, it honestly just needs another good update or two and it'd have allot more replayibility. Are you bored and like pirates or british naval combat? get the game on sale and it might scratch that itch for awhile. There's also SoT which is objectively better gameplay wise, but that's more expensive,
