    So after spending a few hours, frames dropped with little action, vendor inventory not loading, suicidal crew jumping in water for no reason and rather train instead of eating and starve to death.

    After all that i randomly lost my save files.

    No thank you, will never playor buy another game from them.

    I really could have liked this game. I was really getting into it and then it became unplayable due to frame rate issues and laggy controls. Normally slight frame rate drops don't bother me but this is shocking. Not sure how it got released to be honest. Real shame. I have asked Sony for my money back as this simply doesn't work!. Would re evaluate my review if the devs can be botheredI really could have liked this game. I was really getting into it and then it became unplayable due to frame rate issues and laggy controls.

Would re evaluate my review if the devs can be bothered fixing it though (that does not seem likely). Expand

    This is one of the most broken games I've played on PS4. I don't know how it passed quality assurance or why it never got pulled from the PlayStation Store.

    Boring and afflicted by numerous bugs, Pixel Piracy could have been an engaging and enjoyable adventure. Unfortunately, the ideas end up too quickly and the crafting system reveals all its limits.

    Pixel Piracy is a side-scrolling 2D simulator with RPG elements, where the player can recruit a crew, customize the ship and use aggression to find treasures. Even though the game is too linear, with poor combat system and unvaried exploration.
