Full of potential and other issues.

The graphics are well done although distant fauna "blooms" visably and restores have objects popping up from the depths of the programmed underworld - which is funny to watch. Movement is a little stiff but one gets used to it. The quests are reasonable, the leveling up is competent. I just wish that they had not fired the QA team after the second of several islands became available.

That's the only thing that made sense to me. The bugs and inconsistencies in dialogue, the growing graphics stuttering, all this and more grew worse and worse as the game progressed. It got to the point where I was restarting every hour just to keep playing. And that is just one issue, I can think of more off the top of my head. Each of them by themself is a non-breaking issue. You can still play, you can still win (although you may go Huh?) but when you put them all together, well - it's just tiring.

I REALLY wanted this. The premise is first rate, the original was fun if not a little "off" at times, and then it went downhill in the first scene. I still played the stubborn pirate like a stubborn pirate and put up with it until completed. Filled with a sense of accomplishment I went back to mine a few steam achievements - only to discover more quirks preventing further play. Starting over is not a worth-while option.

In fact, I'm not sure starting at all was a good decision in hindsight.
