Looks nice and interesting.
Playing a pirate is a nice alteration from the usual.
And "Sid Meier's Pirates" is still among my "most favourite games of all times".

Fights are turnbased?

And those lines of silver letters are hard to read with the grayish background...

I generally don't have problems with turn based combat, but not here. Combat in this game is absolutely atrocious! At the same time i'm getting this crazy picture in my head, if ship combat in AC: Rogue was like this, and it's a big no no.

I wish GoG had AC IV: Black Flag.

Hit Ubisoft up on Social Media, though they are deep in the "get used to not owning your games" mentality at the moment. I would continue but I don't want to jinx anything.

Wow, never expected this to come to GOG!

An aside to GOG...

... that decorative font on the game's main page is impossible to read. It blends with the page background (grey).

Nice to meet a fellow Sid Meier's Pirates! enthusiast. I sank thousands of hours into the 1987 original on my Commodore 64 and then hundreds on the PC with the 2004 3D remake (which is surprisingly fun, probably because it was again chiefly designed by Sid himself).

[Edit: typo.]

In a Galaxy far, far way.

The screenshots looks like it had been shot though a polarizing filter. Weird choice of style.

Well, I hope they improved it. I bought that on the Epic Store and you can also follow them on their Discord, but I am not aware of anything new about the game.

I liked playing it and in its old state it was definitely fun, but there was criticism of the number of captains, the incompatibility between them and the restrictions that arose from them. With one captain as an example, you weren't allowed to buy anything, you were only supposed to plunder everything, but that caused problems. It was the case that boarding was apparently completely random; it could happen that you lost with the largest ship, a highly trained crew of over 200 people, against a small ship with a crew of under 100.

It was fun, but I saw more and more people stop posting because there were no more answers.

Addendum:

Apparently there was movement on the Discord again and there was a new update. Like I said: it was entertaining back then, maybe they improved it, the graphics were polished up anyway.

I would buy it if I had money and if I believed it would easily run on my 2014 mid tier laptop. I really would. It looks interesting, who doesn't like old time pirates? I also LOVE turn based games so that's a plus. Finally it's my opinion that while it is not my favorite, the original Pirates! game by Sid was the best game ever made, so more pirates themed game is always good.

The game looks good, beautiful too. Unfortunately as I said no money and not sure if my laptop could run it.

I hope people buy it and that of course it is as good as it looks.
