Pirates of the Burning Sea is an odd kettle of fish. It’s pretty ugly and mediocre to look at for the most part, but it does have a certain rugged appeal to the presentation. The control system and style of combat is difficult to get to grips with and poorly explained, but rewarding nonetheless and worth a look. The quests too are flawed, proving dull for the most part but thrillingly epic if you want to get into the spirit of it all.
So, with how many contradictions, how are we supposed to judge a game as massive and open as that of The Burning Sea. Reviewing an MMO is a challenge at the best of times and we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s on offer on these high seas.
