Lego are not the only gaming heavyweight to have thrown themselves into the world of pirates. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag deploys the series’ classic technique of merging fictional and historical events to create a gripping adventure. While this makes its gameplay formulaic for those used to Lego games, its charming Lego recreation of classic characters from the film franchise make it a jolly gaming experience.
Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is no different. Lego have become an unexpected powerhouse in the world of gaming, with their brand of humour crucial in making each new Lego video game an enjoyable, albeit low-stakes, adventure. Pirates: Tides of Fortune faithfully recreates the life of a pirate, but Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game offers a different dynamic. Sid Meier is renowned for creating legendary games like Civilization and Railroad Tycoon, but Pirates was first to bear his name and the first great instalment in the genre of pirate video games.Ī screenshot from Pirates: Tides of Fortune. The open-world game grants players the chance to plot their own course, forming (and breaking) alliances to increase trade or becoming a rogue pirate attacking ports at will. The pioneering game to thank for inspiring future pirate adventures is Sid Meier’s Pirates! The exclamation mark is part of the game’s title, but its exploration of uncharted gaming territory would still be cause for such exuberance.
From strategy-based games to more light-hearted affairs, there are many games that will convince players that it’s a pirate’s life for them.
Conquering the seas is not something that should be attempted in real life, which is why becoming immersed in a pirate game is an attractive means of escapism. Exploring diverse environments, negotiating important trade deals and conquering the seas are activities rife with dangers and opportunities. The life of a pirate naturally lends itself to an exciting video game.
