Skull and Bones Review (PS5)
Our very own Daniel Boyd opened hisreviewofSkull and Boneswith:
“If 2013’s Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag is a big, juicy, tasty oyster, seasoned with garlic and lemon juice, then Skull and Bones is the dry, jagged, ugly, empty shell left on the plate after all of the good stuff has been consumed.”

Suffice to say, Boyd was disappointed withSkull and Bonesas well. The only ones who will truly know what happened to this game’s development are the ones who worked on the project and the higher-ups at Ubisoft.
Maybe one daySkull and Boneswill be able to pull themselves out of the sea and fully fulfill the dream of playing as a pirate in gaming.What do you think ofSkull and Bones? Have you tried its Photo Mode out yet? Let us know in the comment section below.
