A few thoughts on Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
For open-water freedom in the same key, Sea of Thieves lets you crew a ship, chase cursed gold, and pick fights with skeletons. Players who prefer wit over cannon fire should try The Secret of Monkey Island, whose bumbling would-be pirate is Jack Sparrow's spiritual cousin. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag delivers the naval battles at full scale.
Where to find more pirates, on screen, page, and controller
Jack Sparrow's search for the Black Pearl has plenty of company. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag hands you your own ship and crew, The Secret of Monkey Island got there first with the jokes, and Sea of Thieves turns the ocean into a playground. One Piece, on page and in the Clockwork Island Adventure film, plus this saga's own sequels, keep the cutlasses swinging.
Treasure-hunt adventures led by a rogue with a plan behind his eyes
Every one of these follows a rogue with a plan behind his eyes and a grin that promises trouble. Jungle Cruise runs the same riverboat-captain charm through Disney's own jungle, Uncharted and Tomb Raider send treasure hunters after buried gold with the same reckless nerve, The Librarian chases a lost spear through booby traps, and Prince of Persia turns palace intrigue into a full swashbuckling romp.
Blockbuster fantasy built around a swaggering rogue you can't help but root for
Jack Sparrow gets away with everything because he's more charming than dangerous, and these blockbusters run the same trick. Guardians of the Galaxy's Star-Lord is basically a space pirate with a Walkman, John Carter and Jack the Giant Slayer send reluctant heroes into worlds bigger than themselves, and Pan finds Blackbeard and a whole crew of buccaneers loose in Neverland.
