Ah fuck it, I know it's against the meta here but I got it yesterday for 38€ and I actually really like it. Didn't play the beta, didn't see any videos beyond the initial trailer years ago and just got it because I like those kind of games.
Oddly it reminds me a lot of Freelancer, you sail, you fight, you trade, you humm to the shanties, you upgrade your gear and ship and sometimes you do all of that together with other players. I don't care for the hand to hand combat or the land gameplay of Blackflag cause these were actually the things I liked the less, and to be honest I also would not need the land gameplay in Skull and Bones since the real character of the game is your ship.
If you're fine with that and get it a decent price tag, it's a really entertaining and fun game. For me after 6 hours of gameplay it would land somewhere between a 7 and an 8 out of 10 I think and I can really see myself playing for a longer time :)
Glad you're enjoying it!
