    That's a pretty nice game if you play it casually (check it every now and then with three more friends to see what is new and call it the day), but maybe not much more than that. I was "forced" to play it too much 'cause my sister had a serious case of addiction, and so I started to see the cracks... it can be really, really repetitive.

    Was Ok-ish for me and my friends, couldnt catch us for too long because of lack of content but is fun here and there in a while.

    I just love making a fun adventure with friends. I normally like a perks and leveling system but it makes sense for this to not have that else pvp would be unbalanced. The game is very replay able. I do wish it had better crash proofing for pc as If my game crashes then im out of an hour of work...

    It's a game with a HUGE potential, but... THERE'S NOTHING TO DO IN IT. I've played it before way back in 2019, and going through it again, nothing has changed: you're a pirate and you'll pillage some islands with the size of an average room for skins. There's no actual direction for what to do and not being able to disable PvP is a bad decision at best (you're just there trying to figureIt's a game with a HUGE potential, but...

    Played the game for 20 hours and got really tired of it. Perhaps I would have played more, but a lot of boring mechanics.

    If the game had increased the dynamics of swimming, then it would probably be more fun to play.

    It's simply, Okay, it's pretty fun with a friend or two, but it's an absolute snooze fest on your own, also , there's nothing to do in the game other than to buy cosmetics

    The first good game RARE Studios has ever devolped is Sea of Thieves.
    The graphics are cartoonish, which makes it uniquie, and its about **** pirates
    everyone love pirate, they even got a story line with character from Pirates of the Carribean

    But the game do get boring after 10 hours of playtime.

    Eu sinceramente não consigo compreender o porque as pessoas gostam disso em 2021. O jogo é um constante loop de navegar por mares entediantes, atracar em uma ilha que te mandaram atracar, procurar pelo tesouro, vender o tesouro e repetir infinitamente, tudo isso pra comprar roupinha e skin de arma.

    Весело только с друзьями.
    В одного вы будете зад себе поджигать, когда в очередной раз вам сольют часы геймплея.
    Прогресс в виде исключительно косметики - такое себе решение. Но разрабы молодцы, игру развивают до сих пор.    Весело только с друзьями.

    Pretty nice chill coop, PVP is almost non-existent. However, those several time we did PVP it was pretty hilarious. The game doesn't have much unique content, and I played only about 10 hours, but those were fun. Buy on sale.
    Btw, water visuals are just stunning! and meteors were pretty cool as well :D

    The game is good, and great fun especially with friends. My main gripe with the game is that there really isn't any progress you can make. Sure you can buy skins and such, but I'd loved to have some other progress to achieve. The second issue with the game is the inability to conveniently play with more than 4 friends.

    All the quests feel the exact same: sail somewhere, find a thing, go back, rinse and repeat. That's not helped by the fact that doing everything in the game feels like a huge pain in the ass. Playing on any ship but the smallest one, you are simply not able to see ahead of you as you sail, your progress is entirely up to the mercy of the wind, which is somehow ALWAYS in the direct opposite direction of where you are meant to go, slowing your progress to a crawl and making every single trip an annoyance.

    All this plus a terrible UI that's a huge mess that focuses on realism rather than convenience, much to the game's detriment, and you have a game with a ton of potential that unfortunately amounts to nothing more than a couple hours of fun.    … Expand

    Edit:
    Two years later I mus revise the main part of that review. The content updates in the last year were lackluster at best. Barely any original content, mostly recycling old missions and additions to the new MTX store "the Pirate Emporium". The amount of sell out this game has gotten is incredibly sad.
    Besides some questionable decisions in its community management Rare has lost my good will in the team. I do not recommend the game anymore.    … Expand

    The game is really fun for spending time with a group of friends. It offers plenty options to roam around, have a chat and complete tasks, do ship battles to have a cackle. However, game doesn't provide any real incentive to grind. The only goal of the adventure mode is to unlock cosmetics by grinding money and emissary (faction) levels.

    If you are looking forward to fighting ships PvP mode offers great fun with friends. It kind of resembles a battle royale mode but with ships. You roam around looting and improving your weaponry stock in a large map, fighting with opponent ships. This is probably the most laugh I had in a battle royale mode with friends in a while.

    If you are alone and lookıng for a game that ıs not so stressful and just there to be a 'background noise', it might be a decent option. However, it is relatively hard to operate even the smallest ship alone. Moreover, tasks take significantly more time doing alone since there is a lot of manual carrying around involved. Most of your time will be spent walking around carrying chests.

    Because of the fun I had with a group of friends I am giving a 5. Otherwise game is very boring to play alone with no goal to achieve.    … Expand

    The game started out as a big disappointment, but over time it has been growing a lot with several new mechanics and ways of playing, Rare is really doing its best to improve the game. They just need to stop make microtransactions that's ruin any game!

    If you have a lot of friends to play every day this game is for you, but if you only play alone... this game is not for you because you always need more people helping you to do missions and stuffs like that.

    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.

    Sea of Thieves has a solid foundation, but unfortunately there is no content and in a few of gameplay the feeling of being a pirate completely disappears. [Issue#285]
