Session fun rating: 10/10
Holy shit, this game is huge, engaging and fun. I played the plantation mission, where I had to trail a ship without being seen... It's kind of like those GTA missions where you have to tail a dude in a car without getting too close, but with giant ships that can be seen miles away. Once I reached my destination, I infiltrated the plantation, gathered intel by eavesdropping, stole a key, killed a bunch of dudes that were in the way and stole supplies from a warehouse.
I then explored the ocean a little bit and found my first fort. These are heavily fortified outposts that sport long range mortars. In my ship, I had to destroy it's defenses by shooting them, then had to land, kill dozens of guards and take over the area, turning it over to my pirate crew. It was visually stunning to see the fort blow up and quite fun to explore as shit was burning all over.
Finally, I completed my first vessel escort mission which wasn't too tedious, except that I failed because I went too far away from the ship I was protecting. I had to take out three waves of enemy ships increasing in difficulty each time. My naval battle skills aren't too bad so I took them down and saved my escort.
