It’s interesting that the best games about pirates on PC are not known to everyone, because this topic is not as popular as the same ones.

But even in this topic there is something to play and something to sit over for more than one night.

No. 10. Pirates of Black Cove

One of the most striking strategies with arcade elements in history, which will allow you to plunge headlong into the world of the tropics, one-eyed bandits and an endless amount of rum.

In Pirates of Black Cove you will play as one of three heroes.

The meaning of the game is quite classic for a pirate theme - you need to sail the seas on your ship, attack other people's ships and earn money.

With each such capture, the character's level increases, he can buy new weapons, skills and everything else.

The main goal of the game is to stop the East India Campaign - quite boldly!

Video review of a pirate-themed arcade game - Pirates of Black Cove.

No. 9. Sid Meier's Pirates

The first game with this name was released in 1987. At that time, it was almost the only decent game about pirates.

Its remake was released in 2004 with improved graphics, new maps and a battle system.

Initially, here you can choose your basic skills, appearance and nation - English, Dutch, Spanish or French.

Main character gets on a ship, where there is a riot and he becomes captain.

After this, the player begins to do what pirates usually do - rob, kill and earn money.

Sid Meier's Pirates has a plot that revolves around defeating the Marquis de Montalban, but you can also just travel around the map, killing and committing heists.

The battle consists of three stages - designating the ship that will be attacked, fighting with its captain with swords and winning or losing.

The main thing is not to get on warships, which will continue to defeat the player for a very long time, despite his level.

One day, a certain nasty guy with a pack of thugs breaks into our character’s house and kidnaps the entire family, except, in fact, the main character, who miraculously manages to escape.

No. 8. Monkey Island

This is already a whole series of games that are best played one after another. True, the first part was released in 1990, so the graphics are unlikely to please modern gamers.

But they may well play in Tales of Monkey Island in 2009.

Here you have to fight for young Threepwood and make him a real threat to the Caribbean islands. His main enemy is the ghost LeChuck.

In the last part, he becomes human, but releases a dangerous magical virus that turns other pirates into zombies.

The player will have to stop the epidemic.

This is not a strategy, but an adventure game with very unusual graphics, which is what allowed it to gain such popularity.

Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: Lechuk's Revenge - Video review

A year ago, LucasArts released a remake of the first part of the legendary Monkey Island series. Now it’s the turn of the second part of the game.

No. 7. Pirates of the Caribbean. On the edge of the world

We all remember the film with the same name, but in the game we have to repeat the events of the films "Pirates Caribbean Sea. Dead Man's Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean. On the edge of the world".

First, we are on a mysterious island, which also serves as a prison, and we play as the legendary Jack Sparrow.

Captain Teague frees him from prison and allows him to find out the main task of the game - to gather nine members of the Brotherhood Council, find Tia Dalma, a dangerous fortune teller, and not run into a meeting with Davy Jones.

At the end we fight the pirates on the Dutchman and on the Pearl. In this first-person action game, we get to play as almost every character in the franchise.

In general, fans of the film should definitely play this game, and just fans of pirate themes too.

TOP 10: The best games about pirates in history

No. 6. Freelancer

If you are used to classic pirates who roam the vast Caribbean, then Freelancer will simply shock you!

Here we have to fight not on earth, but in space and participate in battles that history has not yet known.

True, the nations of earth are still fighting - the Alliance (USA, Germany and others) against the Coalition (Russia and China).

Only in Freelancer you need to play not for space pirates, but for young Edison Trent, who receives an assignment from the local police and goes to catch pirates (this is short, but in general the plot in the game is very extensive).

In the end, he receives recognition from the President and the entire planet.

By the way, the action takes place in Sirius, where 1200 years ago the Coalition drove the Alliance out.

The game amazes with the variety of ships that the player can control or simply observe. So, there are Kusari ships, which were created according to the ideas of Japanese designers.

Rhineland ships are distinguished by the unusual round shape of the fuel and energy compartment. All types of ships have fighters and trucks.

Corsair fighters have significant armor but poor maneuverability.

In general, the world here is created very well, which is good news. And the combat system is also at a high level.

Game review: Freelancer

Freelancer is an epic space simulator that gave players a lot of positive emotions, and gave other computer game developers an idea for their projects.

No. 5. Rogue Galaxy

Another game for fans science fiction, only here the Japanese brought to life their wildest fantasies about what aliens could be like.

They created their own, completely unique universe with eccentric and unusual creatures.

The difficulty is that the game was originally designed for Play Station 2, so in order to play it on a PC, you will have to make a lot of effort.

But, as a character in another famous game said, “the effort is worth it.”

Rogue Galaxy is also worth paying attention to the combat system, in which the player controls three heroes at once.

Although he can essentially switch control to only one, all three fight. Management occurs from a third party.

It also has all the elements of classic science fiction, such as teleportation. The well-drawn, almost cartoon-like graphics are also noteworthy.

In fact, there are not many good and worthy games in this direction, but today, as part of the article, we will list a few of the best, which are definitely worth playing, if you have the desire, of course. Let's begin!

Ship Simulator: Maritime Search and Rescue

The first game on today's list is Ship Simulator: Maritime Search and Rescue. The game was released in 2014 and so far there have been no recent updates or new versions. Nevertheless, this ship simulator on PC is very interesting, even the graphics look quite acceptable.

The game features a story campaign in two seas - the North and Baltic. In both the first and second cases, the player will face a huge number of main and secondary missions, among which will be rescuing people caught overboard, putting out fires at sea, helping sinking ships and much more. In addition to the career, there is also a simple mode where you can simply swim in the sea.

Features of Ship Simulator

What is interesting about this game about ships and what features does it have? Well, for starters, it’s worth noting that there is a fairly large base of various maritime transport, ranging from boats to huge rescue ships.

The second point is high realism. All equipment, interiors, exteriors of ships, physical models, characteristics of ships - all this is displayed as accurately and realistically as possible in the game, so the similarity with reality is very high.

Third, a well-developed environment. The sea in the game really looks natural, which adds even more realism. I would especially like to note the waves that change depending on the weather. In other words, if the weather is clear, then the sea is calm, but if things are heading towards a storm, then the ninth wave is not far off.

Well, the last thing is management. There are two options - simplified control and full control. In the first case, the computer will take on some of the functions and responsibilities, but in the second case, the responsibility falls entirely on the player.

Coast Guard

The second ship simulator on PC is Coast Guard. This game is somewhat similar to the previous one, since in both cases the player will have the role of captain of a coast guard vessel.

The main goal is to catch criminals at sea, collect evidence of violations in order to prove guilt, help people on sinking ships, put out fires, transport criminals to the shore, etc. In short, do everything that the coast guard usually does.

The action in this ship game takes place over a large area, where there are even small islands on which you can land. The sea model is well designed, plus it is very closely related to weather conditions. The player will have to complete his tasks not only in calm or calm weather, but even in a storm.

Peculiarities

The choice of ships here is not very large, but nevertheless the models are drawn very accurately and realistically. All characteristics of the vessels have been preserved for greater verisimilitude.

In addition to the career mode, which, by the way, is not very large, the game also has a single-player mode, where you can simply swim and enjoy the beauty of the sea.

TransOcean 2: Rivals

Another ship simulator on PC that is definitely worth playing is TransOcean 2: Rivals. Here the player no longer has to play for the coast guard, but for the manager of a huge transport company. This simulator is significantly different from the previous two, because here you will have to focus more on the development of your company for the delivery of goods across the sea.

The whole world is open to the player. Cargo can be delivered absolutely anywhere in the world. The funds received from the delivery will have to be invested either in the development of the company or in ships.

Simulator Features

The features of the game include the following interesting points: development of your fleet, unlimited number of ships, big variety techniques, almost endless streams of missions, pumping mode, good graphics, multiplayer mode and much, much more.

Those who love strategy and simulation games will definitely like this game.

World of Warships

Well, the last one on the list is a warship simulator. Riding on the sea and transporting tourists, cargo, or simply pursuing violators is a fun thing, but what if you want to directly control a warship, moreover, take part in military operations? Install World of Warships! Yes, perhaps someone will say that this is not a full-fledged simulator, but this is not entirely true.

IN game World of Warships there is a huge number of different ships from different countries from the First and Second World Wars, divided into respective classes. There are battleships, there are destroyers, there are cruisers and aircraft carriers - the choice depends only on the player. All ship models are very realistically designed and created in accordance with all the characteristics and features of real models.

There is physics in the game, and it is of very high quality. The sea deserves special attention, its behavior is completely reminiscent of the present and when changing weather conditions radically changes his behavior. Another thing worth saying about the weather is that the outcome of the battle often also depends on it, because in order to win, for example, in a storm, you will have to make a lot of effort.

Game Features

The main features of the game include excellent physics, a large number of ship models, realistic controls, excellent combat system, multiplayer mode, well-developed and drawn locations and excellent graphics.

So if one evening after a difficult working day If you want to sink a couple of ships, then the ship simulator game World of Warships is perfect for these purposes.
