I gave Skull and Bones a chance on this open beta weekend. Seems very fetch questy and the singleplayer mode they once promised seems to be lacking, it only has a mixture of PvE safe zones and a large PvP map much like Sea of Thieves at launch (before the recent addition of private servers).

Definitely going to get mainly 6 and 7 out of 10 reviews I think.

It's certainly not the game I wanted, right now it just feels like Sea of Thieves without the Rare charm. Neither is my dream pirate game, all I want is basically a sequel to AC4 Black Flag without the Assassin's Creed trappings, the gameplay of AC4 (minus assassinations and leaps of faith maybe), ground and sea exploration and combat, a proper singleplayer story campaign instead of fetch quests. Instead Ubisoft gave us a PvEvP mess of half baked ideas that somehow took like 10 years to develop.
