Several years after titans ravage the world, sea creatures bring seafaring to a halt. Playing as an Inquisition agent, you investigate how to stop them, following rumors that pirates on the southern islands know a solution.
Travel by boat between themed islands, take on quests, and explore settlements, jungles, caves, and other locations. Meet pirates and island factions, search for treasure, and make decisions that can open different paths and features.
Develop your character by improving skills and learning new abilities. Face enemies with melee weapons or firearms, and use voodoo abilities; your approach to challenges can also draw on skills such as persuasion and lockpicking.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its pirate atmosphere, island exploration, music, humor, and memorable characters. Some also appreciate building a character and taking different approaches to quests. Others find the shift from the previous game's fantasy setting jarring, criticize the melee combat, or report frequent crashes and other technical problems.
