After eleven years in development, Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones has finally arrived. Initially inspired by Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Skull and Bones is a new take on the Golden Age of Piracy, bringing concepts from the former's tight-knit single-player experience to a living, breathing live-service open-world game set in a fictionalized rendition of the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately, Skull and Bones frequently underwhelms and disappoints in almost all respects. It's not a total shipwreck, but it's certainly far from smooth sailing.
