Skull and Bones is a highly anticipated game that has finally been released to the public. But does it live up to the hype? One player, WintrWintr, shares their opinion after spending 30 hours in the game.
Summary
- Despite its issues and high price tag, players still find enjoyment in the game.
- Progression in early/mid game is fun with constant unlocking of new content.
- Endgame content can become repetitive with a lack of worthwhile activities.
- Recommendation to try Ubisoft+ for a month to test the game before committing.
Disappointment in Content
One of the main criticisms players have is the lack of content. After 10 years of development, there are concerns that the game quickly runs out of worthwhile activities. Fit_Series3836 shares their frustration, stating that the map feels unfinished and the game itself doesn’t feel complete. The drip-feed of community content, similar to GTA Online, doesn’t sit well with many players.
Positive Aspects and Progression
Despite the criticism, players like WintrWintr still find enjoyment in the game. The progression in early and mid-game is satisfying, with constant unlocking of new content and feeling stronger. Rolling around with repair bombards and assisting others is a fun experience. While the game may not hold players’ attention for 6-7 hours a day like during the beta, there is still a sense of anticipation when getting on. It’s clear that there are positive aspects to the game that keep players engaged.
Ubisoft+ Recommendation
One solution offered is to try Ubisoft+, the subscription service by Ubisoft. While there are concerns about the cost and the need to continually subscribe, Inuro_Enderas suggests that it may be the better option for those who want to play immediately and can’t wait for a sale. It provides a month to experience the game and make a decision. If endgame content becomes boring, unsubscribing and waiting for new updates is a viable option.
Overall, Skull and Bones may have its issues and disappointments, but it still manages to provide an enjoyable experience for many players. It’s important to consider the game’s current price tag and explore alternative options such as Ubisoft+ to make an informed decision. The game may not be perfect, but it offers enough entertainment to keep players engaged, at least for a while.
