Arr matey, I see yee be interested in the best pirate games on PC. Why, it’ll always be a good idea to want to be a buccaneer. The clash o’ swords, the deck at your feet, the sea in yer beard, the grog in your stomach – ‘tis a pirate’s life that’s right for us.

Right, that’s enough of that, it’s starting to give me a headache. There’s nothing more liberating than being a pirate. No, not that kind of pirate – you’ll want to pay for most of these games to support the creators and get the best experience possible, but there are a few free games included for that feeling of looting booty without the actual piracy. So, from insult sword-fighting to dodging krakens, let’s run our swords through the finest pirate games on PC. Just try not to spill your grog on the way, landlubber.
