Compared to the original Tall Tales and the Monkey Island ones, I think the PotC ones were the worst. They added those underwater shrines, ocean crawlers and sirens which are all a massive pain in the bottom.

I played the original Monkey Island and I gotta say I loved the Sea of Thieves adaptation. My wife and I completed all achievements of all Tall Tales a while back, started to feel like a chore but the Monkey Island ones were a breeze. Loved it.

Also loved the Pirates of the Caribbean ones though.
