    Jogo fraco demais, poucas missões, jogabilidade fraca e combate ridículo com uma veriesade de inimigos ínfima.

    This is one of the worst games i ever bought, i though they might add some content in the future, but 7 months later, the game still sucks, and it's very tedious.

    The wasted Potential of this game almost made me cry. The world and graphics are absolutely beautyful, yet the gameplay slaughters it in the worst way possible. Janky and extremely boring PvE, boring enemies with no variation whatsoever, extreme grind with nearly no progression, very few cosmetics, which are the only progression there is.

Because of how boring everything in this game is, most people do only one thing thats not repetetive: sinking other players. And while it's cool to have PvP, it's not when you get no chance to do anything because theres hordes of pirate legends ready to chase you to the edge of the map. What, you think it is unfair to go 1v4 against a much much stronger ship? Noo, why would that be?
    I really have no words for this, there are so many possibilities how this couldve been done better, it is simply sad.    … Expand

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

    +2 for graphics and funny pirates. -8 for incomprehensible gameplay, and inability to get rid of the red barrel in the hands. How can you explode it underwater?
    Edit: sadly, but xbox' support is a cancer... got to make it 0
    Editt: I was about just to increase the score, but now I see and how did I come to this.

    Teaming up 4 player massive ship against me 1 player smallest ship and players just kill you for spite being arses and just wanting to kill you, losing over 4 hours of progress since the game last saved. No offline or single player option. Will NOT recommend to anyone I know of which is about a dozen people for now.

    Worst community ever seen by me. Rarely you will find people which will not try to destroy your ship peacefully staying at the dock even you hasn't any loot.

    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.

    There is no game here. Everything this team does to try and add to the burning trash fire only further proves they're incapable of creating an actual video game.

Global achievement stats show that roughly 80 percent of players don't get to experience any more than 10% of the games content because of the toxic pvp problem this game has that goes constantly ignored by Rare. I have read hundreds of complaints about the toxic pvp yet for some reason Rare continues to cater to the tiniest minority of its most hateful and toxic players both inside AND outside the game, including inviting streamers to be guests at their official events who encourage their viewers to send hateful abusive comments and death threats to people they don't like. I would love to be able to recommend and even buy this game as a gift for friends but until the toxicity and pvp issues are fixed I just can't. It's the most disappointing waste of potential I've ever seen in a game and you shouldn't waste your money.… Expand

    Give me my money back, it's literally theft. Disgusting attitude towards your own customers, while in your own company one of the bases of the policy is tolerance to all minorities, races and genders. I am a Russian person and I am not guilty of what is happening. Return my money. RU

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Basically 3 kinds of repeatable missions you grind for gold and reputation that can only be spent on a VERY modest selection of cosmetic items, and a kraken that is nothing but tentacles you shoot at until it dies, at which point you receive an achievement and NOTHING else. For $60 this game is a joke.I just described 95% of content in the game. It's not even an exaggeration, there is NOTHING here.

    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).    … Expand

    Boring. Looks like a mobile game. 3 hours and after that you've almost seen everything. Sure there are not alot of games that you can play as a pirate and control a ship with your friends i understand the concept is good. But this game sometimes feels like it was developed for a mobile or something. PVP can add a bit of fun, but whats the purpose? you can only get the loot of the opponentBoring.

PVP can add a bit of fun, but whats the purpose? you can only get the loot of the opponent which you can sell for money or more quests which in the end you get only cosmetics. But then again 6 ships per server, 4 people max per ship, meh. Awful combat system, no progression system, no skills, no weapons/ship upgrade, all the enemies look the same. Only cosmetic upgrades. No main story, only fetch quests. As many games nowadays, this one was over hyped. I guess they put all the money in marketing and advertising instead of developing a proper one. 60 euros really? wtf? It should have cost 2,99 and be advertised as an indie game.… Expand

    Accept the Pirate Code.
    Yep, did that.
    Did they enforce it in any way?
    No, not at all.
    So why bother?
    ...

    This game entirely depends on you to make your own fun. No plot to speak of, repetitive quests and uncontrolled griefing.
    There's a couple of hours of content, after that it's up to you to organise your own excitement.
    Way overpriced. Skip it.

    Plz, do not buy this on pc, or you will be very sad after 10 hours of suffering play.

    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.

    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?

    This game is designed around toxicity. You could get killed and robbed any time anywhere. The designer said there will be no passive mode.

    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]
