Sid Meier’s Pirates.

Monkey Island games.

13esq ,

I love Monkey Island!

DrainYou1967 ,

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. Also, the sea battles in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey are fantastic.

etchinghillside ,

Yup - Black Flag - half tempted to even purchase the remaster if that actually comes to fruition.

neuropean ,

I’d like a spin-off. Less land stuff and more sea stuff. Instead of the ‘armada’ thing, how about being able to buy or capture larger ships for personal use? Or being able to directly control 2-3 ships? Or fight large scale coordinated naval battles?

That concept has so much more potential and I wish somebody would do more with it.

MrScottyTay ,

They’ve been trying with skull and bones but it’s both in development hell, been delayed multiple times and even changed play styles over the years. I’m not hopeful sadly.

And somehow Skull and Bones is coming out this month! Not getting it (cos its Ubisoft) but excited to see how the game will be taken in by the players, if at all…

I played AC:Oddyseey in 2021 and am currently playing through AC4:BF now for the first time. I’ve been wondering if the Ody ship mechanic was as great as I remember of if it was just a nostalgic feeling having it for the first time in the tail of Origins and throughout Odyssey. Sounds like it was actually great. Not-true-to-AC argument aside, Ody was an excellent game as someone who started on Unity.

I do recommend AC4: Black Flag as a pirate game. It does take a fair amount of somewhat normal AC gameplay (and Ubisoft side quest trinket distractions) to get enough upgrades to the ship to feel like a real pirate of the Caribbean and not just a poop deck swabber, but my ship is nearly maxed at ~75% story completion. I make sure my wanted level stays maxed so the pirate hunters chase me in level 60 men’o’war every time it loads me at sea. Two types of side cannons, forward chain cannons, rear fire barrel mines, long range mortars, front ram, and the option to board disabled ships for swashbuckler combat to gain different rewards. Plus a little tabletop smuggling across the Atlantic with turn-based sprite battles for a laughably insignificant amount of money compared to the work it takes to capture proficient ships.

Ayy I worked on the Odyssey ships, I’m glad you enjoyed playing with them :D

PlzGivHugs ,

Its not quite a pirate game, but if you’re willing to expand your seach to include a nautical mystery game aboard a trading ship in 1807, than Return of the Obra Dinn is worth a look.

If you’re into MMO and jack sparrow- The Legend of Pirates Online - a remake of an old PoTC online game is a thing

Thanks for sharing this, I never knew. Do you play this yourself?

Looks interesting, very cool that its still in active development. Watched Manixs video on it :)

Sid Meier’s Pirates! is a wonderful mix of exploration, sea battles, romance, swordplay, trade, and subterfuge.

Tropico 2: Pirate Cove is one that I’ve only played briefly, but I remember it having a fun style that made me want to try it in depth some time.

All games are pirate games if you do it right

Mirodir ,

I sunk a lot of hours into Port Royale 2 many years ago. I’m not sure how well it holds up today or on its sequels. I think 3 was well received and 4 poorly.

Kylamon1 ,

If your looking for a cheap puzzle game, I had fun with Unforgettable Voyage on steam.

xkforce ,

Assassains creed black flag has such a good pirating mechanic they tried making an entire game focusing on it.

cyberpunk007 ,

But Ubisoft…right?

XeroxCool ,

The mechanic was developed for AC3 so I’d say they successfully made an entire 4th game revolving around it

I like Raven's Cry but it is a janky game so be warned.

Windward is pretty fun and under the radar.

Sid Meier’s “Pirates!” is old as hell but still a great game.

HeavyRaptor ,

Pirates! is amazing

  • Capturing ships to make your own fleet
  • Searching for lost treasure
  • Many different ships and upgrades to choose from (go war canoe)
  • Sword fighting
  • Wooing governor’s daughters (somewhat similar in gameplay to sword fighting)
  • (mediocre) stealth and land battles
  • Free your family from the grasp of Baron Raymondo (Evil!)
  • Battle famous pirates and take their ships
Chee_Koala ,

Another one for Sid Meier’s pirates, it was great and aged decently.

Mithre ,

Even the remake of Pirates! is fantastic.

I played this on Xbox when it came out. It was a lot of fun but once my pirate got too old I couldn’t bring myself to start again.

Age of Booty.

Very different than what others are recommending. It’s a fun arcade game.

hperrin ,

I read that title and thought you were asking where to download cracked versions of games.

LunchEnjoyer OP ,
@LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world avatar

Nah :P I might be sailing the high seas from time to time, but never when it comes to indie games.

mwproductions ,

I’ve been playing Sail Forth. It’s very basic, but still fairly fun.

LunchEnjoyer OP ,
@LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world avatar

It looks quite peaceful, ill check it out :)
