    The improvements from the launch make the old reviews redundant, this is one of the best games I have played. The fact that a new player and seasoned player have identical equipment means the only difference is player skill.

SoT is the opposite. It might not have tons of content, story is non existing, same with progression outside cosmetics. But the actuall gameplay is just so much fun. Every single thing yopu are doing is just pure joy. You make you own stories and adventures. Things that are happening to you are just so much more fun because they are results of your competence or lack of it. This is by far the best sandbox game i have ever played, it actually gives you the tools to have fun instead of pointing you to hundrets of pointles markers on map. On top of that sound and music is outstanding and graphic is stylised but gorgeus, it evokes pirate tales and movies or lego like cartonish style. Above that all developers added many free content updates since lunch and are still supporting and listening to the players. Worth every penny and just pure joy.… Expand

    A great game that not everyone will like.

    Yes, indeed, there are mindless fetch quests, but I always supposed they were the support to my story and not the story itself. Anything can happen when you're sailing, even if you're sailing to dig up some chests or to carry a pig to an outpost. This is the beauty of the game !

    You want to chill and dig up some chests, kill some skelletons ? You can do it, but you should expect some dangers, like an another crew who wants to sink you to get your booty. Maybe the Kraken will put his/her tentacles around your ship, seeking for blood and broken wood. Or, some huge shark teeth will break through your deck, the Megalodon is always lurking from the depths. Seeing a skelleton ship rising from under the seas, shooting sparkling cursed canon balls at you while you're peacefully going back to sell your loot can be surprising too. And every time, it's your choice, it's your way to deal with those, run away or fight back.

    Now that the skelletons forts/stronghold are up a lot more often (as well as the Skelleton ships fights), you can be involved into a lot more PvP fights aswell, making allliances, fighting to death, the choice is yours !

    I'm just talking about what happens in the game, but the technical aspects of Sea of Thieves are trully stunning. The sound design is perfect, it shows the perfect atmorsphere and at the same time gives your every informations you need to understand what's happening around you (A gunpowder barrel getting lit, a hole into your hull, ropes being pulled, anchor being droped, skelleton ship rising from the depths, the last wave of the fort spawned, and so on...).
    The graphic aspect is up to your personnal feeling of course, but the cartoonish style can be colorful into the Shores of plenty or depressing into the Wilds, dangerous into the Devil's Roar... And oh my god, the water is just ridiculously beautiful and makes sailing a pure pleasure.

    I can go on for years about this game, I found into Sea of Thieves something i've lost during my gamer life, pure gaming pleasure ! Playing for the sake's of fun, into a world full of possibilities and danger, that can be sometimes frustrating but always rewarding.

    I've learnt something with Sea of Thieves, it's that you don't need to be an absolute content seeker to find pleasure as a gamer !

    Trust me, if you want to experience a unique game in a beautiful world with plenty of things to do, specially with friends, you should just dive into this magnificent ocean of possibilities and meet pirates from all around the globe.    … Expand

    I have had some of the most intense and most enjoyable times in this game. Doing a fort with another team you cant really trust, taking out the treasure gained and having both teams stand on opposite sides picking treasure one by one was extremely nerve racking.

    Most people struggle with learning to use their imagination to make their own fun, which is required, especially in this game's current state. Yes this game lacks content, and yes it needs more to keep people playing, but for the average player with a couple friends, this game is one of the best organic experiences out there.

    I laugh at the people who have already played the game for 30+ hours (likely in just 2-3 sittings) complaining about repetitiveness. That's like expecting to play any online shooter in the same way and then complaining about lack of content. The primary fun will come from fluid interactions with other players, which can take a couple of matchmaking attempts to find a good group (literally did this and made 2 friends last night). The devs are already working to improve matchmaking options and releasing more content. Can't wait as more.

    Tips for having fun in this game:

    - Try not to play alone
    - Try to find other plays to add as friends to play with later (build/assemble a crew)
    - Don't expect randoms to want the same experience you are looking for (AKA don't feed the trolls)
    - Be Spontaneous
    - When bored, put the game down for a bit and do something else

    Not worth $60 at the moment, but i don't see the devs saying extra costs for new content in the future.    … Expand

    it's a game that needs to be understood, unfortunately there is a real objective in this game but it has very fun gameplay.
    If you have just finished watching films like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and you want an adventure at sea, perhaps accompanied by other friends, this game can give you a great adventure.

    In a world flooded with linear game play that destroys the need for imagination in the players, Sea of Thieves is an amazing breath of fresh air. I haven't had this much fun in a game in a very long time. I understand that I'm going against the grain by saying this, but I find the constant rehashing of first person shooters to be not much more than money grabs for large studios thatIn a world flooded with linear game play that destroys the need for imagination in the players, Sea of Thieves is an amazing breath of fresh air. I haven't had this much fun in a game in a very long time. I understand that I'm going against the grain by saying this, but I find the constant rehashing of first person shooters to be not much more than money grabs for large studios that produce the same games over and over again. The Call of Duties of the gaming world are obviously here to stay for the near future, but when a game like Sea of Thieves comes out it really feels like there is hope for interesting games on the horizon. When I first got into the game and realized there were not any HUD nav points telling me where to go or what to do, I was kind of blown away and I realized maybe that what I had just gotten into was something fresh.

    One thing I can definitely see as something that might be a negative for people is if you are trying to play the game alone, or maybe with just random matchmaking and aren't really getting an experience. Having friends to play with of a like mind goes a long way with this one. I love how there are long periods of maybe no human encounters at all, just sailing and acquiring loot in a way that actually challenges your real world skills like cardinal directions and reading a map, solving little riddles here and there, etc. It really brings gaming back to fond memories of playing things like Myst or Goblins, but from a completely fresh perspective that you can share with your friends. When you do have an encounter (or maybe several) a successful raid on another crew is extremely rewarding. When you actually pull one over on someone else and steal some or all of their loot, it is a fantastic accomplishment. Of course, you are just as much a target as they are and if you tend to get upset by PvP and are someone who cries about fairness etc., this game might not be for you. However, if you can get over it and just move on and then go pillage someone else, the personal accomplishment and internal reward is great especially when sharing in the victory with your friends.

    The fact that everything in the game is "physical" is great. You show your status, by the items you buy from selling your plunders. When you see a pirate all decked out in awesome gear, you know that they have some experience, but it's still a level playing field. All of the mechanics are just "make sense" type systems, like having to bail out water from your ship while repairing the hull, or needing to set the sails correctly to catch the wind. This is the kind of game that expects it's players to be half way intelligent. I feel like the world in general should start expecting a little more intelligence and this is a great start. A kid playing this game will learn how to read maps and understand cardinal directions in a fun way. I have probably close to 36 hours now into SoT and couldn't be happier. I also think that some of the people who say it is a wash, rinse, repeat experience must not have played for very long. The longer I've played the more there is to uncover. I probably played for 12 hours before ever seeing the Kraken, I still haven't gotten to a skull fort type quest, but know they exist from reading forums, etc. Sometimes I find a new type of loot item I haven't seen before like the "Chest of 1000 Grogs".

    Ultimately, the game is fantastic if you want to create an experience with your friends. One thing I find amazing is that I remember actual excerpts of game play that my crew experienced over others. When you play many online games, it seems that every match is just another un-note worthy experience that you don't distinguish from the last or the next. Sea of Thieves has a substance that can only be described as character enough to demand creativity from its players. The greatest part of all is that Rare thinks we are smart enough to handle it!

Every little thing about being on these ships has something to say about the love that went into it: the musical trill when your cannonball connects, the vibration when you turn the wheel past the midpoint, the glint of spyglasses on the horizon, the splash of waves on the deck.

    This is not an RPG or an MMO. It's a game about sailing a ship, and running into (sometimes literally) other people on ships.

Right now, it is the constant looking over your shoulder for other pirates and the different interactions while questing that add the real variety to the quests, not the quests themselves.

    The features in this game are all polished, honed and perfected to a level not seen in games anymore. The feat that Rare pulled off with not just how beautiful the water is, but how it acts is unheard of. Sailing is done right. The sea feels like a living thing and it very much wants you dead. Ship combat is hectic and intense, everything you could hope for.

Even just braving a thunderstorm to see the sunset on the other side, it's truly a reward. Falling into the water was absolutely terrifying, but then I looked up, and seeing those waves crashing over head is one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had. The gameplay loop isn't the most rewarding thing ever since everything is cosmetic, but I really enjoy the fact that armor and weapons don't affect gameplay, only strategy and skill (I'm terrible btw). I had a group of friends which I think would make a huge difference. I think, if you like the idea of bonding with your friends while having some of the most surreal experiences in gaming, then I think you should give this another try. I haven't tried everything yet, but I'm comfortable giving this game a high score from the amount I've played. The reason for the missing point, is that the gameplay loop is somewhat shallow.… Expand

Soundtrack on the game is also fine, nothing interesting and it just fit to a pirate life thing. Playing missions or quest on this game is quiet a bit bad and boring especially when you need to keep coming back for like 5 or more than 5 times just to get that award, it's just my own preference though, I don't really like that.

    This game doesn't hold your hand to much. Working stuff out requires a bit of actual input from the player. Or just google it. This is ofcourse a good thing. Learning is fun. Games feel so boring when everything is just done for you.

    If you are the type of person who will get frustrated over the fact that you can spend ages collecting loot for it to be taken by over players then this game isn't for you. How ever myself I love it when a game punishes you for failing.

    It becomes repetitive and I don't like the fact that you are basically forced to collaborate with at least another player to be competitive, however I do enjoy the graphics and the many "tales" they added throughout the years.

    Ahhhh, Sea of Thieves. On one hand, this is one of the most fun games I've ever played with friends. When you get in a massive ship battle involving your ship and 1-4 other ships, this game is as exciting as any other. Sailing is as smooth as butter, the water and art in general in this game is absolutely gorgeous, and there is something so inherently relaxing about just sailing around onAhhhh, Sea of Thieves. On one hand, this is one of the most fun games I've ever played with friends. When you get in a massive ship battle involving your ship and 1-4 other ships, this game is as exciting as any other. Sailing is as smooth as butter, the water and art in general in this game is absolutely gorgeous, and there is something so inherently relaxing about just sailing around on the beautiful sea in this game. For all those reasons, that's why I give this game an 8.

    It does have its cons however, and the glaring one is a huge lack of content. Unlike a lot of players, I actually don't mind voyages, it's something to do while looking for the next bout of trouble with other ships (or perhaps becoming friends and drinking Grogg together). That being said, the fact that voyages is essentially the only thing to do aside from skull forts (which spawn roughly every 3 hours) is troubling and a glaring problem with the game. If the Devs didn't have plans for a bunch of content updates, I would give this game a 6 instead of an 8 because of the lack of content.

    That being said, Rare has been very transparent about plans for the games, updates and listening to their community. I fully have faith that this game will have a lot more to do exactly a year from now, with 3 medium to big content updates already announced and planned (The Hungering Deep coming out soon).

    If I had to give a recommendation for this game, I'd tell you that if it looks and sounds appealing to you, give it a try with Xbox Gamepass. This is the kind of game that, if you enjoy, you will want to be with it for the long haul to see how development pans out. If you know you would get bored from fighting other ships, stealing, making funny alliances, and doing skull forts and voyages, then skip this until it hits a sale. Personally, it's one of my favorite games, but I can see why it turns people off 100%.    … Expand

    I like this game so much. It has a great atmosphere, a lot things to do, many customization settings and combat. I highly recommend it to play with at least one friends because it's easier to attack other players. Game has nice art style and great setting with beautiful sea. I think that playing alone is a little boring but overall it's fun. I highly recommend this game to players thatI like this game so much.

    Great game with a superb execution within the product. Yes, it had some day one issues, but I cannot for the life of me name any MMO-ish game that hasn't. I hope they roll out new content very soon because while what's there is very fun, it gets repetitive. There is a lot of potential here!

    Sea of Thieves, the game I have been waiting for, for a pretty long time.
    It's a beautiful game which is very different then other games you might have played and even though the content in it now is a bit shallow, the developers are working on monthly+/- updates and are very open about all the process they are going through and sharing that with the players.

    It is a great game to play with friends but sometimes sailing those seas alone can be rewarding as well.
    Sit back relax and just let the sea sink you in. This game is not about the rewards, it's about the adventure you had to get to it. Also it has been out for 2 days don't bash it so much because overall it is doing a really good job as an mmo.    … Expand

    "A game that at this stage is only as good as your imagination and ability to entertain yourself, that looks beautiful and makes for great fun with friends (and even in solo mode)".

    That's the headline I'd go with for this game currently. I've pumped hours into this game since launch day across all modes, 1, 2, 3 and 4 player, and not at any point have i stopped having fun or not felt    "A game that at this stage is only as good as your imagination and ability to entertain yourself, that looks beautiful and makes for great fun with friends (and even in solo mode)".

    That's the headline I'd go with for this game currently. I've pumped hours into this game since launch day across all modes, 1, 2, 3 and 4 player, and not at any point have i stopped having fun or not felt immersed in the surroundings and goings on.

    I have seen so many negative reviews that take quite a petty stance, some people marking it down for using XBox live, others giving it a low score because it 'only has cosmetic progression', and likewise I've seen some reviews who are clearly looking at it through rose tinted glasses - I'll try and be as objective as possible, and you'll find more thoughts on my YouTube channel as i look to cover this off more thoroughly.

    Who will this game suit?

    I would definitely say that this game will naturally favour individuals who have 'busy minds and vast imaginations', and those who enjoy not having to pay real money for cosmetics and who like to feel the sense of achievement in unlocking things through hard work.

    I have to say I am surprised at the amount of negative comments in relation to solo mode, and I believe most of those comments are from players who lack imagination, lack skill or who are just slower to pick things up in general.

    Obviously the game can reach fun peaks at a higher level when you do have a group of friends to play with, because you'll find your failures just as entertaining and your successes and can fool around with music, firing each other from cannons, getting into battles or coming across rival groups.

    Yes the game lacks a lot of content that we know will be added gradually, and i do feel for those who paid the full price for it rather than go down the game pass route as i did, but my intuition definitely tells me that Rare will be looking after this game - they realise it's potential, as do (i truly believe) the majority of players and critics who've reviewed this game. They can just how brilliant this game can be, but they don't want to wait for it to get there (and for those who pay in full, are well within their rights to feel that way).

    Yes it's true that the game is predominantly made up of different type of fetch quests at this stage (like an eternal Thieves Guild run in Skyrim), but there are random events you can come across (ship wrecks, floating barrels, messages in bottles etc), and there is of course the biggest adrenaline generator the game......the fact that you never know when you might be attacked and how the battle may unfold if you actually are.

    I. Love. This. For me this is the key to the game not losing it's appeal and me not losing my desire to play.

    Do i want to purchase a full set of a certain line of clothing? Yes.
    Will it cost me a lot of gold and involve a lot of grind? Yes.
    Will it involve doing the same thing over and over again? Yes....wait no....maybe?? Who knows!?!?

    I've been involved in some great runs where we sell many a chest and skull for much gold, completely unchallenged, I've been involved in other journeys where we're sunk or robbed on the way to returning our gear....hell I've even been attacked AS i'm selling something at an outpost..completely out of the blue, and this is what makes the game great.

    One evening i decided I was going to play solo and be as friendly as possible. Met some really nice other solo players who i had a tankard of grog with or played music and danced with...met others who decided they really weren't open for comms and would rather shoot first and talk later (over their mics as they taunt me for my death). I've really enjoyed the open seas, the scenery, catching animals etc.

    In its current guise, this game is really as good as the mind of the person playing it. It is what you make of it - have those leaving bad reviews come to expect the world from games instantly with an over inflated sense of entitlement? Have those leaving 10/10 reviews set their expectations too low? Maybe.

    I was born in 1986, i grew up playing games where you'd have to put hours in to them to unlock cosmetic items anyway. You couldn't nip off to the nearest shop to spend real money and skip out all those hours. You couldn't buy loot crates either - it was a grind, and to be honest i think if it ever gets to the point when games have no grind, I'll bow out of gaming.

    I like to feel as though I have earned what i have, and this game is no different. it can be brutal, it can be unforgiving, it can even feel like it's trolling you at times...but the sense of achievement you get when completing missions, or when you win a battle or steal treasure etc is great.

    I really look forward to seeing what this game brings over the next year or so and in each release because i have very high hopes for it.

    Give it a chance and you'll see what i mean, just don't expect the world...yet!    … Expand

    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]
