«just flat out call it a rip off or a failure is premature and unwarranted» Perhaps it's because I read so many articles off N4G, but jumping to conclusions, hypocritical stances, overreacting and lack of information are fairly stand

With no leveling and no substantial progression system, the title rewards
for raising your reputation with the various guilds and working towards the status of Pirate Legend may seem like a hollow goal when loot and upgrades are such
staples in
modern games.
There's a healthy selection of guns to unlock, upgrade and customise as well as basic training skills to unlock too, there's a tonne of cosmetic items to earn through the
game's strong presence of loot boxes, and there's of course the usual mix of classic multiplayer
staples such as Team Deathmatch, Domination, Free
For All and Capture The Flag that join more
modern inclusions such as Kill Confirmed and Gridiron, a spin on Advanced Warfare's Uplink mode.
