Beautiful, fun, and interesting
The game itself is very pretty and i've had few errors in the world. The game itself has some bugs involving quests, and the quests....well... While quests in general are boring, these are down right mind numbing. I'm ... Read Full Review

Ultimately unsatisfying
I really wanted to enjoy Pirates of the Burning Sea. I mean, c'mon...PIRATES! SEA BATTLES! THE CARIBBEAN! But what I've found is mostly sizzle and little steak. The best part of PotBS is the ships, which you can comm... Read Full Review

The new Ultima Online?
First of all: this is not a game for everyone. This is not meant to be an elitist statement , just an important note: in a gaming world where all is dumbed down to cater the attention of the mass, PotBS has chosen the ha... Read Full Review

Good change of pace
No intro needed here we will just get in down to it.; The economy in this game stands out for me in a big way. The complexity of the items that you produce in addition to the limit on the buildings you can build forc... Read Full Review

A nice break from dwarves and mutant space critters with a unique PvP experience. Yarr!
I was first drawn to check this game out by the pirate theme and was even more intrigued by the economic and PvP possibilities. So far, I'm not disappointed. Nearly everything worth having in the game is created by a... Read Full Review

Morne and Uninspiring
I always hate when I dislike a game, and I hate even more talking ill of it. First, in 3 games sessions I was unable to manage to complete 4 hours of playing, me that usually sit for 8-14 hours per playing session; th... Read Full Review

While it has its shortcomings, it's a breath of fresh air in the MMO world and very deserving of more attention.
Ok let's talk Pirates of the Burning Sea. Flying Labs Software's ambitious pirate themed MMO. I'm a fan of the whole 'old world' history and of anything that borrows from its themes and settings. I played the original... Read Full Review

It's a MMO for people that like EVE
Pirates of the Burning Sea plays a bit like EVE. You own a ship, you fight other ships, you get money and loot and you help make yourself and your country stronger (only yourself if your a pirate) The ship combat is v... Read Full Review
