Age of Pirates: Captain Blood

Captain Blood is a reminder of a lost era of gaming, one that is sure to make you feel nostalgic and may even win you over with its unique world and characters. However, nostalgia alone does not make a game great, and the game feels dated even for the era it meant to release in. Some may enjoy this title, but for others, it’s going to be a hard pass

Captain Blood's fascinating history makes its faults as endearing as they are annoying, but the act of playing it is surprisingly dull. Still, it is worth checking out for any game history enthusiast.

I wanted to like Captain Blood. A throwback title without the modern faff that comes with so many newer releases was refreshing…Still, Captain Blood’s lacking design and poor tuning make it an absolute chore to play through. It quickly wears through any goodwill or nostalgia it might have benefited from and ultimately has very little going for it.

Nevertheless, the game could have had a lifeline to cling to if, for example, it had included extra material in the form of sketches, behind-the-scenes videos, or similar from the game's tumultuous development. That would at least be something. But no, the game is just served up as it was when it was dropped at the end of the 2000s. And that's not good. If Captain Blood had been released back then, it would have been incredibly poor. Now it's almost insulting, as it gives games of that era a bad reputation they don't deserve.
