- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)

- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Skull & Crossbones is like
Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.
Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
