Theres truly nothing else like it on the market right now, especially in todays overly sanitized, pussy ass snowflake-infested gaming landscape. So thank you, Bethesda, for delivering the ultimate male power fantasy we all deserve.

• Captain Blood Review: Survived the Odds but for What? - Gameffine

  Jay writes: "The publisher argues that while Captain Blood might rate as a 4/10 today, it wouldve scored a 7.5/10 back in the mid-2000s. But lets be honesteven if this game had launched on its original schedule, it wouldve still been panned. Broken mechanics dont magically become acceptable just because theyre old. As someone who values game preservation, I respect the effort to revive lost projects, but that doesnt excuse selling a fundamentally unfinished productespecially one that may never b

It takes the all the strongest elements of the first game and builds upon them, while simultaneously eliminating the aspects that didnt work as well before. Its not without its share of flaws, but those are easily overlooked in favor the remarkable, wondrous adventure that lies before you.

  WTMG's Leo Faria: "I really tried to enjoy my time with Memoriapolis, especially with how good-looking it is, but constant soft locking scenarios and a lack of map variety resulted in me losing my interest with it fairly quickly. Its out of Early Access now, so I truly expected it to have just a bit more content, maybe some randomly generated maps, and a less punishing lack of resources. I really love the premise, and wanted to witness the growth of tiny Roman village into an eighteenth century
