I wish someone would do a modern, more serious remake of the Sid Miers pirates. There is an amazing amount of complexity going on under the hood of that game that is undercut by the cartoon aesthetics. It’s huge fun but definitely more on the Disney end of pirate adventure.
Totally agree with Assassin's Creed Black Flag as number one. It's the first AC game that caught my attention and played...AC fan ever since. This is still one of my absolute favorites.
I got it for free somewhere, but I couldn't even stand more than an hour playing it. AC games - I can literally feel my brain cells die while playing such. Sea Dogs 2 was my pick. although it was prettly clunky even then.
Carribean Legend is a remake of Sea Dogs, so would suggest people to try that. It has quite a few QoL features that make it way more new player friendly.
Black Flag and Sid Meires Pirates are the best for me. I haven't played Sid Meires but I have to say from what I have seen it's pretty and I really wish I could play it on my ps4. I really wish a pirate game, based on the combination of these two comes out one day.
The Port Royale series is one of my favorite game series of all time, but it's sad that a list of pirate games in 2024 needs to include one of them from over a decade ago... and the same goes for Sea Dogs, it's nigh on a quarter of a century old and still among the best examples of its genre.
Since the modern pirate games scene is so barren and we are already stretching the definition with UAAOS i want to highlight small game that fancied my age of sail itch for a long time. It's called Sailwind and it's focused on realistic sailing and navigating your boat between different ports, moving boxes and trading goods. No combat whatsoever, but it's not like you have time for it while adjusting 10 sails of the upgraded brig.
Use to play a lot of Pirates of the Burning Sea back in the day and even tried to update it today but couldn't do it due to some kind of nvidia physx update I couldn't find. I'm really looking forward to finding something similar to that that I can play on my recent purchase of a Samsung Galaxy tab S8 ultra.
Sea of Thieves, by far, is one of the best games of the last 10 years. It makes ever other game in this list look like a bad 80's click to win adventure game. And it's funny that most of its critical reviews complained about that fact, it didn't have predefined "rail like" story line to follow. Yeah.....that's the point....and why its such a fantastic video game and not a fantastic film broken up by mouse clicks.
Does anyone know what's the name of this top down 3d pirate game where you are a crew of shipwrecked pirates and it's a roguelike/roguelite game where you select specific units to go into dungeons where they fight bosses to gain or lose traits and skills and equipment? And there's missions where an specific crew member might have beef with a specific boss, which might give them a bonus if they're able to beat it. Your units can die forever I think. I just can't remember the name, only a vague image and description. It LOOKS LIKE Lost Sea, but it's not it, but it's very close to Lost Sea!
15:03 don’t play this game, it is riddled with toxic cheaters that tell slurs at you. The cheaters also are able to ban you, the dev team doesn’t care about the community and when they are in need.
Guys I love your channel and reviews.... but for the love of all that is holy stop using the term 'immersive' every other sentence. Immersive is not a bloody synonym for 'good' or 'engaging'!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! /rant
AC is so damn repetitive and...Assassin's Creed-y. Sid Meier's is repetitive too, I suppose, but there seems to be more freedom. Plus the nostalgia factor. I'd just as soon see a modern reboot of that than GTA6. Yeah, I said it. I'll try some of the others on this list.
@LTGamingTH-cam yeah didn't notice that until a little after thank you for the video I did learn some new games to play until I can afford skull and bones

Agreed I feel it is ripe for a remake! A bit more grit etc - Tom
I spent many hours with Sid Meier's Pirates. So much fun.
Great game
I like how you used the music from Sid Meier's Pirates in the background:) Took me right back!
Some of the best 🎶

You're French.

Huge thanks for including Rum & Gun! Btw, great list for referencing other pirate games ^ ^

Great list, definitely a few ones I'd like to try, thanks! Also, have a look at Republic of Pirates 🙂

Awesome list, bit of Rum and Gun for me!
It is fun!
Quality list lads
Great job as usual! As for Sea Dogs: Caribbean Tales from 2006, it's available on GOG. Cheers!

I love the list, brings back many memories, and looks like i need to check out a few new ones.
Thanks for watching mate!

I will check it out! - Tom
I'd seriously want a game just like World of Warships but with pirates. Unsure why it hasn't been done already.
Hope a dev reads this... :D
Avast! Pleased to hear that some of these are 'on sail' 😂
Brilliant 😂
Ahoy to you all! Hope you enjoy this one!
Tropico 2: Pirate Cove x18
Tropico is a blast to play.
You should check out Republic of Pirates.☠

@@LTGamingTH-cam I don't see it on GOG. But I did get it from an Abandon Ware site in the last year.

Legend of pirates online
Age of sail was deadly

lowlands away..Captain Pugwash

Not listing what platforms these games are on is kind of a miss dude
A miss is you even asking this question.
why don't you put if game is online or offline bro wtf

(to coin the phrase: "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means")
hahaha I know Tom did this video but I use the immersive word in many videos :P I just like to be immersed in my games!
Nice left field immersive stack of games … well done me heartys 🐸🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️💪🐌🍷💤

I agree with the list especially number 1 except sea dogs is one of the worst games ever and I usually like Eurojank
Thanks man! I really enjoyed Sea Dogs 2 😂 😅 but I was young...
honestly you did nothing for skull and bones
@@outlaw1265 this was made before that came out.
