Despite this, the last few years in pirate-flavoured gaming have been less a mighty haul of shining gems, more the last few dregs of rum in a dusty bottle. Sure, we’ve had Sea of Thieves and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, not to mention the criminally overlooked Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, but you don’t need to know which way starboard is to see that a handful of games does not a genre make.”
