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

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

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

      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.

    Windward is pretty fun and under the radar.

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

    I had a Fisher Price pirates point and click adventure when I was… 6? I adored it so that I guess. Also there was a Muppets Treasure Island point and click adventure from back in the day. I’m sure that counts and is what you’re looking for.

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

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

    Skull and bones. I’m not even kidding. I played it during a closed alpha and I hated sea of thieves.

      I second Skull and Bones, also played it during alpha and it was fun as fuck. Also, there’s a public beta coming up soon!

    Age of Booty.

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