Now that Pirates of the Burning Sea has been release we can expect, not unlike SM Pirates!, a flurry of reviews. 

First off the bat is from IGN's POTBS website which offers a positive, seemingly evenhanded, review giving it a 8.7/10.  Check it out HERE

"If there’s anything in the whole game that was done to perfection, it has to be ship combat. On the most basic level, it’s rather simplistic. You use the WASD keys to raise and lower your sails and to turn your ship right and left. The minimap shows you when your ememy is within range of your cannons and all you have to do is hit the spacebar to fire. But the beauty of ship combat lies in the strategy you need to employ in order to win. For example, if you know that your ship is faster and more maneuverable than the enemy’s, but he has bigger and better guns, then your best bet is to stay away from his deckguns and try and hit him from behind. Knowing your enemy, your own strengths, as well as how to use wind direction and the surrounding landscape to your advantage can make a big difference in ship combat. You can also use different types of ammunition to accomplish different things, ie. damage the sails, harm the crew, or blast the ship’s hull."

Also as a bonus they have an interview with Jess Lebow from Flying lab and they chat about the different features of the game so check that out HERE
