After more than a decade, Skull and Bones, Ubisoft's multiplayer pirate romp, is finally out. Was it worth the wait? No, not really. Shaun gave it a 68 in our Skull and Bones review, but I've barely been able to stomach a few hours with its uninspired crafting grind and weirdly arcade-like ship battles.
It's a shame, because it remains a wonderful theme, and we really don't have enough games enthusiastically diving into the Golden Age of Piracy. Despite this, there are still plenty of options for those looking to indulge in some swashbuckling and high seas adventures, each of them a much better alternative to Skull and Bones.
