Pros
Pro Great game mechanics
From raising or lowering sails too maneuver faster and boarding ships with your crew, to transporting people from port to port and finding survivors out in the sea, this game packs a solid punch when it comes to various ways of doing the same thing. It adds logical complications to normal tasks, such as wind, and not being able to sail up against it. All in all, even if there is so much stuff to worry about, the experience is very enjoyable, and filled with surprises.
Pro Real world
Although the fastest way to get around is to use a 2d map, if you wish to do so, you can jump in a ship and sail to any location in 3d. The whole map is seamless, and contained in one scene. The game even encourages the players to do so by adding hidden docks at strategic locations, giving a sum of money to the player when the ports are found. And by putting ship wrecks with treasure island maps, wich can only be reached in open world.
Pro Completely open world
The main goal is definitely to battle ships, but you can do anything your heart desires from building farms and taverns in your ports, to attacking ports for a ransom, and rolling dice aggainst an AI for money.
Pro Good graphics
Although it does not have the best graphics out there, the game deffinetly looks nice compaired to many others, and is well optimised; wich means it can run on even budget devices.
Pro Hours of content just in the main quest alone gives the player plenty to do
For just the medium difficulty setting there is hours upon hours of content, and that's even if you skip all the side quests and just focus on the main story. Plus there are two harder difficulties to try and in the near future a tool will come out which will let you build your own adventures as well as play other people's.
Pro Pleasing graphics that show off a well designed and polished game
The graphics look nice and you can tell time has been put into designing them. While not the most flashy, there is a certain style to the whole game that makes for a very cohesive experience.
Pro Pick up from your last save, no matter the device you are using, thanks to the built in cloud saving
Playable on Android, iOS and PC you're able to transfer the one game between multiple devices (on same or different operating systems) and take it with you anywhere you go. with a Butterscotch ID (the devs self implemented cloud save system).
Pro Excellent progression system where you never feel like you are grinding too much
Progression never feels sluggish or rushed, everything has a good pace to it from the farming of materials and grinding out the various components for the tons of items, to the incredibly unique combat/interaction system, it all blends well into a long gaming experience.
Pro Hundreds items to craft in a deep and varied crafting system that will keep the user busy for hours and hours
There are over 500 items that can be crafted in the game, giving the player quite a lot to experiment with and explore when it comes to crafting items.
Pro Great soundtrack that suits the humor and setting of the game quite well
A great mix of chill and energized music, that fits the setting of the game at all times. A pleasure to listen to on its own as well.
Pro Multiple game modes
Once you've finished the basic mode there's also a challenging and insane mode for replayability.
Pro Good writing
You don't need to read everything to enjoy the game but the writing is very good and really adds to the enjoyment.
Pro Lots of entertaining pop-culture references
Cons
Con Can get boring
Although there is allot to do in this game, once you have tried it all, and own the biggest ship, there is nothing very exiting left.
Con Cloud saves not through Google services
An extra account will need to be used in order to take advantage of the cloud saving as it does not work with Googles solution to cloud saves. While this does allow for the cloud saves to work cross platform, people may not want to take the extra step to make a new account with Butterscotch Shenanigans.
