5) Skull and Bones
Skull and Bones is an action RPG developed by Ubisoft Singapore. This title had a rough start because Ubisoft was promoting it as the first AAAA game ever released. Players were disappointed, as the game failed to meet their high expectations. However, if you love pure naval combat in a PvE setting, you can give this game a try, as Skull and Bones features a great naval combat system.

3) Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is the latest installment in the famed Yakuza series. In this title, you get to play as the famous Mad Dog of Shimano, Goro Majima himself. Goro is on a hunt for a mythical treasure and has to become captain of an entire pirate ship to find it. This game not only offers great naval combat but also amazing melee sequences. Everything is then supported by the over-the-top storyline that Yakuza games are famous for.
If you wish to play a pirate game with an awesome but humorous story, along with remarkable combat both on land and sea, you should give this game a try.
2) Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag is the sixth AC title, which was released right after Assassin’s Creed III. In this game, you play as Edward Kenway, a pirate who joined the Brotherhood of Assassins. What sets this game apart from its predecessors is that you can operate a ship named Jackdaw. Not only do you operate it in an open-world setting, but you can upgrade different aspects of it as well.
The story of AC Black Flag is one of the best when it comes to older titles in this series. The entire narrative is nothing but a roller coaster that takes you through a myriad of emotions. If you do not mind the old-gen graphics, the story alone makes Black Flag a must-try for pirate fans.
1) Sea of Thieves
If you wish to play a game that truly embraces the pirate genre, then Sea of Thieves is without a doubt at the top of the rest on this list. Developed by Rare, SoT is an open-world multiplayer game in which you play a true pirate. This game features a massive sea with unique regions and dozens of islands you can explore. Additionally, there are a total of three ship types, each made for a certain number of players, with four being the max.
Moreover, there are various factions with whom you can side by hoisting their sails. The more you play under a certain faction, the more reputation you gain for them. Higher reputation unlocks many cool cosmetics and titles for both the character and the ship. Finally, there are story missions called Tall Tales, some with famous collaborations, like Pirates of the Caribbean and Legend of the Monkey Island.
