SkullPirates is a decent, no-nonsense brawler that feels best enjoyed in short bursts or with friends on the couch. Its combat is accessible, its style is recognisable, and its low price makes it an easy recommendation for local game nights. In single player, though, the formula wears thin. Repetition sets in quickly, deaths can feel unfair, and the humour doesn’t always justify the unskippable cutscenes. But that will depend on the player’s individual tastes. If you’re looking for a cheap co-op game to fill an evening with friends, SkullPirates fits the bill. Just don’t expect it to hold your attention for long if you’re sailing solo.
