    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.

    Sea of Thieves is a game that managed to borderline come back from the dead. How? No one is really quite sure because when the game first released back in 2018, it was highly hyped up by both the developers and the XBOX community alike. You had so many gamers saying this was going to be the game that made the XBOX ONE, the game that would make PlayStation and Nintendo gamers jealous, so onSea of Thieves is a game that managed to borderline come back from the dead. How? No one is really quite sure because when the game first released back in 2018, it was highly hyped up by both the developers and the XBOX community alike. You had so many gamers saying this was going to be the game that made the XBOX ONE, the game that would make PlayStation and Nintendo gamers jealous, so on and so fourth. However, it was the complete opposite. Everything gamers were lead to believe was somehow not quite the truth.

    I would say most of all, it was purely misdirection. Intentional, yes, but I don't think any major harm was meant. But unfortunately, the gaming community is so very brutal and they do not let things go when they are angry. And gamers certainly became angry about Sea of Thieves.

    The game was the negative talking point of the gaming world for quite a few months. Even a friend of mine, who is primarily and XBOX gamer asked me "Yeah, Sea of Thieves, what the hell went wrong there?".

    But now, some years later, the game is worthy of some praise. I've been playing it on my PC on Games Pass and I've had my best friend and my girlfriend roped in onto the game with me. First and foremost, I will say this game is pretty much a multiplayer game. The developers say it's solo friendly and while it is somewhat true and they are even adding solo friendly content into the game, can you really do it solo? The answer to that question is not really, not without some great deal of difficulty.

    The whole games mechanics works purely on working as a team with other people, so trying to do everything that a whole team needs to do, navigating the map, adjusting and setting the sails and manning the helm, it's all quite the chore. And if you get attacked by one of the in game dangers, such as the Megalodon, a Ghost ship or even the legendary Kraken, then you can basically kiss your ship goodbye and any loot you may of had on it because if you think you cand handle sailing, repairs of the ships damage AND manning the canons all by yourself, it's not going to happen.

    So yes, you need friends, you need a crew. And the more, the better.

    But the content of the game that is now seen in it is where it's truly shining these days. So much has been added and it's only getting better. Customization of your character, weapons and your ship is all very simple, yes, but it's still fun. It's so fun to sail the seas as the pirate you want to be. Give your pirate a beard, a peg leg, a hook for a hand. Paint your ship red and black, give it a black sail, hoist the skull and crossbones! You can even get pets in the game, such as dogs, cats, monkeys and parrots, and you can even get them outfits that give them peg legs and eye patches!

    Yes, a lot of this stuff comes in the form of microtransactions from the in game online store, but the small prices you pay for them are trivial at the end of the day. And I only spend about £5 or so once every few months on them, so I'm not exactly breaking the bank.

    The game, even today, is visually beautiful and even now, as a last gen game, the water graphics in the game are the best in existence, even when compared to up and coming new gen games. The sailing mechanics are some of the most fun parts. If you've got one friend manning the map, guiding you as you handle the helm and another tackles the sails, you can be hit with a storm, which means you'll have to fight high waves, strong tides that will throw you off course. Lightning will strike the ocean and can even hit your ship, sparking a fire, meaning you have to scoop water from a barrel on your ship which draws it in from the ocean to put it out. And whne a storm lingers dead over head, it plays havoc with your compass next to your helm, meaning you have to trust your own knowledge of the map and the ship to guide you through it. Me, my girlfriend and my best friend have been thrown way off course in the past by storms, and it's such a fun element of the game.

    Other little things that make the game so much fun is the inclusion of playing instruments, making a little band together. Even your pets will dance along to them! In game emotes can be a laugh. You can go fishing, catch some fish, cook them up and store them in your ships food barrel or your own inventory as a health restore option. You have several different canon ammo types, from the regular canonball to chain shots, made to take down the mast of enemy ships, fire bombs, designed to set the ships on fire. And then you have cursed balls, ones which will cast a spell on the ship to give various effects, from making the whole enemy crew sick to forcing the anchor to drop.

    Everything in the game, from sailing to hunting down treasure is just all so much fun. But you need friends. That's a definite. Sea of Thieves is worth picking up. Especially on games pass.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ist Sea of Thieves aber wirklich ein großartiges Spiel und da es leider wenig alternativen gibt was Videospiele mit Piraten angeht werde ich bestimmt noch einige Stunden in das Spiel stecken.

    Stay away. I played it too long. Wasted 600+hs of my life. Boring most of the time you just sail and do literally nothing. Meaningless.

    A lot of these reviews are 3 years old. I've only got the game recently (50% on Steam) so I'm not sure if there have been any major overhauls.

I've only got the game recently (50% on Steam) so I'm not sure if there have been any major overhauls.

    Ahh, the gruelling life of a pirate. This game can have you ready to uninstall after an hour of playing, but I would recommend you stick it out a bit longer.

    The game starts out with a fun tutorial that gets you excited to begin your pirate life. A relaxing, single player experience to learn the basics. And that's really it. The basics. There is so much more to learn that the game does not teach you.

    Shortly after starting the actual game, I died almost every 5 minutes. To skeletons blowing me up as I read a book on a small island (enemies continually respawn... thanks devs for putting reading in the wild...). I died in my anchored boat by another player who was far more experienced than me (I barely knew how to fire my cannons properly) as I began my first quest. I died at the hands of more players as I continued to try and bring in my first chest to port. A random dude stole my treasure AND boat AND yelled at me as he sailed off... then came back and apologised and taught me how to open up my crew to the public.

    The first chest I did bring in rewarded me with 70 gold. Seventy. Most cosmetics' (which seems to be this games only sense of progression) costs are in the thousands, if not more. Some beards and hairs are cheaper, granted. This felt like nothing as the tutorial gives you a huge 30,000 gold starting package... the game felt like a slow grind.

    After hours of what felt like griefing by other players, I was ready to uninstall. There seems to be no area which is safe from the PvP environment. I'm pretty sure I read an "honour among pirates" poster somewhere, but that was a dirty lie.

    Hours later, defeated and forgetting I had opened up my crew to the public, a random dude who also just started playing the game that day joined. We chatted a bit and he seemed to have a completely different starting experience, not being killed by other players at all. We set sail and became the best crew-mates anyone could ask for. We played until 3 in the morning, jamming out on the deck and completing longer missions. Maybe it was the time of day, but all the 13 year old griefers seemed to have disappeared. Nothing but treasure hunting, skeleton smashing, and smooth sailing.

    Definitely a game to be played with others. They say you can solo pirate, but as soon as you run into a ship of 4+ pirates in a town, kiss all your hard work/hours of looting goodbye as you try to turn it in at a port.

    I read an in-game book about "easy-come-easy-go" and it should be the motto of the game. Everything you work towards hoarding in your ship (food, cannon balls, treasure) can be stolen from random pirates in a second... and then you simply find it again instantly in another random barrel or continue the mission. There is not really any death-penalty other than losing potential hours of treasure hunting.

    The game is beautiful, with cartoony graphics. The feeling of sailing is unmatched (compared to games like Stranded Deep or AC Odyssey). I can see the travelling getting boring, but I am still new and loving it. Again, with friends, you can play instruments, talk, fight sharks/ghost ships, cook food while someone else sails, play Jack on the front of the bow like in Titanic, etc.

    The sounds of the ocean, instruments, and ambience is well done. The dialogue can be lacking, leaving you reading most NPC conversations.

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.    … Expand

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.

If they added a progression system, tightened up some of the game play, it could really be a good game. However as it stands now there is no point in doing missions other than to grind the hell out of gold for a fancy new hat. Its clearly a game for friends to dick around in and that's all it offers. i can think of a lot of better games that you can do the same in and are real games. Hopefully Rare improves from this point because as it stands unless you can get it free from game pass no one should play it, and even then its not super great.… Expand

    Esse jogo é incrível, em todos os aspectos, ele tem ótimos gráficos, uma jogabilidade perfeita, e tem muita coisa para se fazer, o modo história e os enigmas são mto divertidos e interessantes, o jogo vale cada centavo.

Fast forward to NOW. I jumped back in in July when it released on steam, and boy, what an improvement, there is so much to do now, so many new things to discover, and adventures to be had. All while keeping true to what made the game fun in the first place, being able to write your own stories, and create memories with people. Its amazing how dedicated Rare is in improving the game.

    This game is so much fun. This game is the best pirate game I have ever played and it looks beautiful! The game does lack some content, but the dev's has assured that more content is on the way.

    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.

    This game ACTIVELY punishes you for playing smart. The combat is a joke, the difficulty is all over the place and is just "give enemy absurd health". Community is toxic AF. Cannot recommend in any capacity. Complete waste of my money.

    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]
