Early Access Review Ok I have played the game for 6 hours now and I am a bit confused about all other reviews that I had read beforehand. So to keep others from being disappointed, here goes mi review. Before I start I have to make clear that I am not a Warhammer Fanboy. I like the universe and especialla the game Total War:Warhammer. I am a huge fan of Sid Meier´s Pirates and I loved the Pirating in Assassins Creed Black Flag, even though not being a fan of Assassins Creed: I have just gotten the Game due to a lack of Pirates! I also enjoyed Mount and Blade and I really love the fighting mechanism of For Honor! So I thought to myself that Man O´War: Corsair would be some Pirate Clone mixed with Sea Battles from Black Flag with a Mount and Blade graphic and some Mount and Blade Swordplay. This game isn´t any of this! I cannot understand why others think this may be the case... To put it clearly: This is not a bad game but I think it is not worht 27 €s due to many clunky aspects. TL:DR: The fights are so messed up that they are nowhere near enjoyable, they ruin the game as well as the clunky mechanic that I need to dance around cities to buy and sell stuff... . Setting: The Warhammer Setting is nice and believable. There is lots of stuff going around, more than compared to the original Pirates! There are beautifully written quests, and enjoyable sea fights. The universe is darn good and one can see that the producers enjoy Warhammer themselves. Gameplay: The sailing part is really good and well done. It is much more enjoyable than in the original Pirates! and more strategic than in Assassins Creed. Playing with the gamepad is a bit clunky because you cannot really see where you are clicking in the menus, because accepting and declining offers look the same. You cannot hop into the menus with your mouse, because it is an either or decision. But playing the game with mouse and keyboard is ok. There is much depth in the sea fights, more than I have seen in any other game. If you enjoy this Sea Fights, search no more if it wasn´t for boarding ships... . This is not clunky, it is broken. It is a mess, I hate every aspect of it, sorry... I have seen better fighting mechanics in the original Pirates! series. Better fix this or automate it. And this sort of breaks the game, but well it is an alpha so whatever, maybe they fix it. Graphics: This is more what I would expect from a Tablet, than a Desktop PC game, but ok, this isn´t about graphics. If you need this, stay away from this game. Sound: It´s enjoyable and well done. I am missing nothing here. The woman could less praise my skills in shooting at things..., it gets annoying the third time you are humbled for being such a good gunner, but then again, this is no AAA title Production, so it´s actually quite good. Trading aspect: Trading does work and is not bad. But I think there is not enough money to be made with it, so it is not as much fun in the long term. But it is much better than in Elite Dangerous oder the original Series. It is more than buy low, sell high. You also have wars or plagues affecting prices as well as the cities producing their own wares. Skill Tree: Functional, and good. So to put this short: I like the sea fights, I hate the gunfights. This game is nowhere near complete. It is an Alpha Version at best. I will have my 12+ hours with it, but I think this one lacks long term playability.
