I’m playing through RDR2 again and I got me thinking of how nice it would be to have a pirate game similar to it. A big open world to sail in and explore, with tons of detail and lots of piratey things to do. One thing I love about RDR2 is moving around with the gang and getting to know them and like them over time.
