Pirates Are BLANKing Awesome is an awkward top-down shooter that involves no skill, only luck. Movement feels non-responsive, and enemies will fire 5-10 bullets before you can even see them. 4/10

Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island
I was able to play this on my Windows 7 64-bit system. I have dual monitors, and for some reason it insisted on running on the secondary monitor. I had to disable the second monitor to make it run on the primary. It also failed to run at all sometimes when the second monitor was active. But turning off the second monitor made it work fine.
I liked the art work. The game play was a bit strange. You could get “ideas” and store them for later use, but you couldn’t actually pick up items. The story felt disjointed, jumping between scenes without a smooth transition. There were long cut scenes that couldn’t be paused or rewound, so try to play this in an environment without potential for interruptions.

4/10 - Not good enough to buy, but all right to play if you get it in a bundle or on sale.
The problem with “Ghost Pirates…” is that it, sadly, does not quite realise the potential it had in any area. The premise is very good - three different characters linked by a voodoo curse can talk telepathically and become ghosts. Unfortunately, the ghost part is not for the player to use at all - the characters will just become ghosts when the game needs them to, so there are no nifty puzzles to figure out through, say, combined use of physical body and ghost-hood. And the telepathic link starts off interesting - you ask others about things you don’t know about - but, given the counter-intuitiveness of most puzzles, this soon devolves into one more inventory item that you combine randomly with anything in the hope of advancing.

A pirate quartermaster
Don’t overlook this curious little gem of a game! Do yourself a favor and give it a try. I’ve never played anything quite like it.
As an added bonus the developer is very active and present, and has already provided several bug fixes and added improvements.
Edit 16th of October:
An earlier version of this review mentioned that the game needed some serious rebalancing, as it was very difficult to keep going for any significant amount of watches. The developer has since changed a number of things, and it is now much, much easier to progress in my experience.

This game is truly charming.
It has got style and character and a great atmosphere (it does not struggle to create a feel-good one).
You gotta love the music, absolutely enjoyable and this goes for most everything of this game.
It also has very good achievements that are desirable but seldomly quick to get.
They let you know there is more adventure for you in this game sort of in addition to the already
solid watch to watch “routine” of being the quartermaster.
Make smart decisions (one of them is not to think “1 portion” ought to be enough when there is no better reason to skimp there other than saving a few coins when that is not crucial) and you can sail a fearsome, capable pirate ship you will mourn to ever lose. This might even entail mourning the loss of your former captain (I admit that happened to me ;-) ).

Blackwake
Pros:
-
frequent updates, always something new (weapons, ships, gamemodes, maps, CANNONS… and AMMO FOR CANNONS)
-
fun gameplay
-
naval combat is well done
-
pvp combat is good, melee is smart, guns will often kill you instantly
-
attack/deffend fortresses (if you capture the enemy fortress you win, when you are defending and you know where all the guns are you may survive)
-
loadout selection, a lot of muskets (4), pistols (5), melee (6), special (4)
-
chat, voice chat (team, faction, global, proximity variants)

“I will be damned if I go with another early access game, I will rather eat paper from this notebook”
Ok, now I am chewing on a paper but I’m still satisfied by this game! Yay!
Blackwake is interesting multiplayer naval FPS that lend you feeling of member of Navy or life of a pirate (arrr matey, sorry, i had to). The game basically provide ship and sea and you and your crew (that are players or you are part of the crew under captain) try to get opposition team down the tickets or run out of suplies.

Here Be Dragons
An unexpectedly wonderful game
Although not perfect, this game is wonderful! However, it may not be what you expect. This is not the (satyrical true!) story of how Christopher Columbus reached the New World, but the (indeed satyrical true!) telling of the events which led to his protagonism. While the former make us think this is a traditional RPG, with exploration, battles and a progression system consisting of evolving one or few characters until the end, the latter gives room to what it really is: a combat-only game with many characters, each of which protagonist in their own short campaigns, and where character progression starts after the first battle of the campaign and ends just before the last. What really progresses throughout all the game is combat complexity and the greater scheme which ties all campaigns together. So let’s dive deeper into both aspects.

There were two good things in this game that made me complete the game: battle mechanics and solid visual style during battles. But other elements of the game must be rewritten from the scratch:
-
dialogs - thay are boooring; guys, please don’t try to do all the pieces of the game by yourselves, find good writer. Alternatively make an option “skip dialogs” to save time
-
technically I don’t understand why 2D game had been made using Unity. It’s huge overkill, there’re many crossplatform libraries and frameworks for 2D games that can be run anywhere. Because of your poor decision the game doesn’t run on Linux

Turtle’s Quest
A masterpiece I would say but you cant get past the mission where you pick up wheels and shit cuz Oswald takes everything and then does nothing and he asks you for the same shit again, but guess what it doesnt exist anymore cuz Oswald fakin took it.
– Real player with 4.4 hrs in game
Up untill the mission Booty it is ok if we dont consider some of the “minor” glitches. When you retrieve all the materials in Booty and speak to Oswald he just steals all your stuff and you are thrown back to the start of the mission, forcing you to restart the game because the materials dont spawn a second time. I can’t get past this. Devs pls fix your shit!

Captain Firebeard and the Bay of Crows
This pirate game (long title, can’t be bothered to write it all down) is a charming kinetic novel with a pac-man style minigame. They really should have just written that on the blurb instead but I understand that such a concise description isn’t great for marketing so you’ll have to get your gospel truths from me!
In my usual style I will rattle through my categories:
Story, Writing & Characters
The plot is interesting and has a splash of real history, which I like a lot. Too many times have I seen things set in the Golden Age of Piracy where certain elements are taken from completely different centuries and then smashed together into one, ignoring historical accuracy. I can tell that everything here is really well researched and correct. The writing was sharp, witty and period accurate. The characters feel realistic and consistent and you do feel that you are on an exciting adventure, which is essential in a pirate tale. I liked the jokes a lot, especially those surrounding the hapless captain and his unlucky crew. My favorite character was probably Lady Wendy; something about powerful, calculating women just does it for me… mmmm Teresa May…. I also enjoyed that a fellow Frenchman was shown as being a bad-ass pirate hunter! That was maybe the best bit for me! Vive La France!

LEGO® Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game
I think this is the shortest of the LEGO games I’ve played - only took 23 hours to get to 100%.
But short does not equal bad, in this case. There’s still plenty enough content, and this is a good solid LEGO game. Some minor flaws (plus the death of the character customizer as an actually fun tool), but nothing glaring. It does a good job of combining the gameplay of the older, classic games with the fresh coat of paint of the newer games. Great work done with balancing of character abilities. No voice acting yet. I’m not super fond of hiding all of the extras in the hub, but it’s okay. Only five levels per movie this time, but balanced out by the fact that there are four movies. On the whole, a good fun game.

One of the most fun LEGO games I have played. Would definitely recommend if you want to chill and have fun.

Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet
I’ve LP’d the previous installment , Kickstarted the sequel, and was rather looking forward to this. Let’s break down my impressions, from least important to the most:
Graphics: I kinda miss the original hand-drawn look. It had a unique charm to it that the smoother and less unique 3d models lack.
Voicework: Quite good all around. Except from some British TV guy – apparently everyone were so excited to have him on that they forgot to check whether his voice fits the character.

As I have been following the game’s author’s main work for a while, (which I would highly recommend to most people on the planet) I finally brought myself to buying the game during a sale. The drawing style is simple, but atmospheric, the voice-acting is mostly superb and the few birds one gets to see up close are truly adorable. The highlight of the game definitely are the song-bits, which are completely insane and oddly catchy. Bought it during a sale and thought it was quite sweet. Especially for a game both written and animated by someone who, as far as I understand, only dabbles in game-development.
