Captain Blood PS5 Review – 18 Years Later, Was It Worth the Wait?

⚔️ Captain Blood is finally out in 2025 — yes, the pirate game that was shelved back in the PS2 era. Now released on PS5 and Steam, I played it start to finish to see if it was a forgotten gem or a total shipwreck.

💀 It's janky. It's bloody. It's kind of brilliant.
So… is Captain Blood WORTH A TRY?
