"Pirates of the Burning Sea is an odd kettle of fish. It’s pretty ugly and mediocre to look at for the most part, but it does have a certain rugged appeal to the presentation. The control system and style of combat is difficult to get to grips with and poorly explained, but rewarding nonetheless and worth a look. The quests too are flawed, proving dull for the most part but thrillingly epic if you want to get into the spirit of it all.
So, with how many contradictions, how are we supposed to judge a game as massive and open as that of The Burning Sea. Reviewing an MMO is a challenge at the best of times and we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s on offer on these high seas.
The final and ultimate test of any virtual world is the how populated it is and that’s something that is hard to judge too, confined as we are to the early days of this particular game. However, it has to be said that even to us the game looked like it had a good number of players onboard. Better, since everybody always wants an excuse to dress like a pirate, there were hardly any bright pink trolls running around calling each other n00bs.
