    Very boring. You basically completed the game when starting it, after that you just hunting for cosmetics

    (-) low skill cap
    (-) very time consuming
    (-) if you want to have fun you need to find 3 other nolifers as yourself

    The player base for this game remains one of the most toxic and cheat-ridden that I've come across. The devs also remain some of the most aloof and uncaring that I've ever seen. There is no report function, no solo server function, nothing to get away from toxic players except to sink your own ship and hop to a different server - giving the players harassing you all of your loot andThe player base for this game remains one of the most toxic and cheat-ridden that I've come across. The devs also remain some of the most aloof and uncaring that I've ever seen. There is no report function, no solo server function, nothing to get away from toxic players except to sink your own ship and hop to a different server - giving the players harassing you all of your loot and wasting your time. Nothing has been done to address the rising concerns of non-cheating players.

    The game is fun, but worthless to those who want to play correctly. You can't enjoy playing the game when you're being killed constantly by players spawning in exploding barrels or shooting you through walls. Until these issues are addressed, i would not recommend this game.

    Good points: fun loot system, fun sailing and fishing system, interesting and lore-filled quests.

    Bad points: everything above that's stopping you from enjoying it.

    Do yourself a favor and don't buy this game until the issues have been addressed.

    1. Very basic combat, there is a lack of content and the open world is kinda boring. The ship mechanics and the giant sea monsters bring this game up to a 4.

    Needs PVE considering most of the game itself is PVE with tall tales and exploring islands and quests etc.

    The game is fun but the grind is too big and a session can be ruined for casual players by sweaty pvp players. I can only recommend buying this if they implement a pve surver or let casual players host a private session.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Te aburres pronto de el y es una pena, los gráficos están muy bien y la idea no es nada mala ya que hay pocos juegos de piratas mundo abierto. Resumiendo lo mejor que puedes conseguir es alguna skins y eso para mí tiene poco valor. Parece que está enfocado a un público de niños pequeños que les gusta gastar dinero en trajecitos y espaditas que solo son skins, Le falta un sistema de nivelación de algo por lo que digas quiero seguir jugando y mejorando mi personaje. Le falta potencial, podrían exprimirlo mucho mas y mejor. El mapa es grande no está mal, pero los servidores casi siempre están vacíos, 20 personas por servidor más o menos y casi nunca llenos, entre colegas te puedes hechar unas risas pero para jugar a largo plazo te aburres pronto. Las historias están muy guapas aunque algunas se hacen pesadas. Expand

    The developers don't spend enough time fixing all the bugs they introduce with each update so by the time they finally got around to adding ANY PvP content, they had already created so many issues that the game is no longer viable as a competitive platform.

    My opinion on Sea of Thieves is extremely mixed. There are definitely things to love about the game, but there are also others that would make me not recommend the game.

    To start with the positive, the game definitely nails the sense of adventure. It is simply a really fun time with friends and just being in the world is fun. There are plenty of different activities to do with friends,
    My opinion on Sea of Thieves is extremely mixed. There are definitely things to love about the game, but there are also others that would make me not recommend the game.

    To start with the positive, the game definitely nails the sense of adventure. It is simply a really fun time with friends and just being in the world is fun. There are plenty of different activities to do with friends, the Tall Tale quests being a highlight. (Especially the Pirates of the Caribbean-themed quests, those could be a game on their own.)

    However, the developer insists on the game being always online, which is definitely a deal-breaker for a large majority of people. A pirate game where other people can try to steal your loot sounds nothing but appropriate on paper, but it has the potential to completely fall flat.

    PvP could be a rewarding experience if all parties wanted to battle, but that's simply not the case. Most of the time battles end up being unsatisfying and one-sided, and simply ends up being a waste of time for everyone. It basically devolves into bullying PvE players for the sake of bullying.
    Rare had a solution for this with the arena mode but has since scrapped it due to managing it poorly.

    Unfortunately, the always-online nature of this game has led to another issue: the Sea of Thieves fanbase is one of the most toxic player bases you'll ever find online.
    It is difficult to enjoy an online game filled with people throwing insults and harassment. There are definitely some extremely creative and awesome fans out there, but the sad truth is that they are a few and far between.
    There is an easy solution that would fix the game and maybe even bring back some of the 30 million people who downloaded the game and immediately quit after seeing what the game is like.
    PvE servers - the ability to play the game with friends only.
    Personally I would simply make the online portion of the game free-to-play to increase the amount of players engaging in PvP, and make private games and the Tall Tales exclusive to people who
    actually bought the game.

    This, however, would require Rare to admit that they made a mistake and change the game despite it not being their original vision.
    I fully believe this is the right move to take. Imagine other games if they didn't listen to fan feedback:
    imagine Super Smash Bros but being unable to turn off items because it wasn't the creator's vision that it's a serious fighting game.

    I've played the game since before it released and it is currently the worst it has ever been.

    The community is toxic and never cooperate, which means you can't enjoy most of the games content.
    The devs refuse to add PvE servers and so I recommend anyone and everyone avoid this hell by not playing.

    Toxic community. Very unbalanced game when it comes to 2-4 player teams. Also very clunky game mechanics that should be disabled during pvp. Some enemy makes a mistake and lands in the water during a fight? Don't worry, a marmaid will instantly bring him back on the ship, no matter how far he is away.

    "Ahoy there Singhy,

    As we cannot verify any lost rewards we are unable to compensate for any potential loss of game progress which may have occurred due to potential server issues.

    I'm sorry for not being able to assist you in this regard."

    I literally cannot find the complaints department so my only course of action is to leave an honest review of my experience. If it weren't for the MANY glitches, and server issues this would be one of the best games I have ever played. But sadly, the customer service department don't care about your wasted time. I would not buy this game if you care about receiving your hard earned rewards. 1 star from me.

    It's just nothing. You do all the routine stuff by finding the treasures and getting it back to the buyer. The only thing that you can buy is a customization, and you can buy it for donation too. It has a big playground, but it's empty. No procedural generation, no new biomes, no new upgrades (there are no upgrades, only customization), no new enemies. What is this?

    Conclution: This game is fun if it is with friends or acquaintances. But it should definitely be at most 10 bucks. It's a casual game like gang beasts, overcooked. Don't try to find hours of fun for it. It's just to hang out. And another thing. Buy it on sale. 50 bucks its just a scam.

    Very repetitive, unrewarding and boring gameplay.

    - quests are repetitive (Go to a place, kill same skeletons, find the treasure.) - repeat.
    - No progression. You are the same the whole time.
    - Gameplay is very weak.

The game is a PvP free for all game but they advertise it as a PvE with PvP game, which is **** It becaem a gank simulator cause there isnt much to do in the game. People get bored quickly and when they are bored they start harassing other players.

On the other hand it's a PvE questing game across a fair sized map with an average amount of (heavily recycled) content that some players would actually find quite appealing. The issue is the way these concepts are integrated together - they aren't. They're just thrown together in small population servers and called "emergent gameplay" in the hopes that people will figure things out as they go along. It's the perfect recipe for a toxic community the likes of which hasn't been seen for decades - seriously Rare, how could you have been so naive as to ignore the seperation between PvP and PvE communities that other (far more successful) developers sussed out in the previous millenium?

    It does at least look and sound good, but the chilled-out atmosphere the audio-visual design invokes is completely at odds with the way the game actually feels to play. And sure, the islands have a few different design styles with a reasonably well laid-out map, but other than the pitiful handful of other players per server shard (20 players absolute max post-2020? pathetic!) the world feels completely devoid of life. NPCs stand around like emoting vending machines (and somehow have less personality than the actual honest-to-god vending machines of the Borderlands series) on outposts that are completely devoid of character (and characters). The Tall Tales storyline quests are mostly tedious with a few decent ideas sprinkled in here and there, but the writing doesn't stand up to more than 5 seconds serious consideration (especially the more recent additional releases) and the expectation that you'd want to do them all five times each AND go on a tedious clueless treasure hunt for books with a few poorly written lines of flavour text for each and every one to unlock their super-special-secret (terrible) extra cosmetic rewards.... yeah, the old Rare we knew and love who knew how to design a compelling game dropped the ball on this one.

No main story, only fetch quests. As many games nowadays, this one was over hyped.

    PvP is very rare and if you do see another ship they can evade you incredibly easily and it is almost never rewarding to fight unless you somehow get on the enemy ship and steal their chests and bring it back to your own ship before destroying theirs (which is highly impractical).

    Sea of Thieves has successfully redeemed its clumsy launch with Rare being a developer that fully commits to the title with monthly updates for more than two years. Now – it is a game brimming with content, adventure and gorgeous pirate atmosphere with arguably being the best pirate game available and a truly fun multiplayer experience.

    A year of updates has helped fill out its light content, but the real magic was there from the start. Rare’s take on cartoon piracy encourages you to behave as a cartoon pirate should: a little bloodthirsty, a little silly, and almost always drunk.
