In fact, at some points, Pirates of Black Cove makes being a pirate seem so silly that its unclear why anyone old enough to pony up $19.99 for their game would actually be interested in becoming one. The agonizing pace of the early game and the unsatisfying customization options available in its RPG component certainly don't offer much incentive. For a bargain game doing homage to a modern classic, the Pirates of Black Cove isn't all bad. But for that many dubloons, you could just treat yourself to some Sid Meier.
Strategy Informer slaps it with a 7.3/10:
For all its faults though, Pirates of Black Cove is a very endearing game. Its playful nature, its colourful vision of a pirate-infested Caribbean, and it's knowingly terrible jokes make it an inoffensive and pleasantly innocent experience Don't bring me that horizon, because I quite like it here.
And then Elder Geek offers up another one of their video reviews, which complements some text and a "Worth Buying" verdict:
So in the end, Pirates of Black Cove is beautiful. It controls well. It has a great concept and fun gameplay mechanics. For anyone who wants a slower-paced, but well made game about pirates, then Black Cove is your answer. But at the same time, there are very small things that hold it back from being a true hit that will appeal to more gamers. We're hoping this is the start to something fantastic or perhaps will spawn a sequel because there is a lot that can be done with this type of game. If your curious, there is a demo available on nitro games website. And that's what we recommend everyone to do. Give it a try before you buy.
