    I have been following Sea of Thieves progression very closely. Thankfully Sea of Thieves delivers in most areas and it’s unlike any other game I’ve ever played before and ultimately it was worth the wait.

The gameplay is absolutely fantastic in my opinion and the uniqueness of doing certain tasks shines through in all areas, which in turn makes the game an incredible amount of fun. Without a doubt the best way to enjoy this game is with friends. The co-op offerings are absolutely flawless and I’ve been able to play with my friends who are on PC with no problems at all and each time we’ve played its remained fun and unique throughout our time with the game. Sea of Thieves also allows you to play on your own and whilst it does provide you with some enjoyable moments when alone it’s not as good as when you play with friends, but it’s still worth playing it this way at times. Something that really impressed me about this game was the world in which the game takes place. It’s very big and no island feels the same and visiting each island was a pleasure to do because there’s always something different to find when you explore deeply, which is great. Don’t get me wrong the game could do with more content but I’m prepared to wait because the content that is included is more than enough to keep you satisfied for quite a while and there is enough variety to stop things from becoming boring especially when played with friends. A big part of this game is obviously travelling on your ship and thankfully everything has been done to perfection here. Sailing feels great and adjusting the sails and doing certain things actually matter so there is some realism here. The controls also hold up really well and I didn’t experience any problems at all with them, which is a bonus. The presentation side of the game creates a wonderful experience for me and I couldn’t have asked for any more here. Visually the game looks beautiful from start to finish and I was especially impressed with the weather effects in the game. The sound design is also brilliant and it captures the pirate atmosphere really well, which is great. At the end of the day as a game Sea of Thieves excells in my opinion and whilst some people may moan about the lack of content I don’t see that as a major problem because you make your own fun and content when you play. I think Rare have done a fantastic job with this game and it’s a game unlike no other, and without a doubt I’m going to stay with the game for a long time because I’m looking forward to see how the game grows and develops. The only caution with this one is it will require continued updates to keep it fresh and worth playing. My advice check it out on Xbox Game Pass before making the purchase if you are undecided if it's right for you.… Expand

    Dull, boring and tedious doesn't even begin to describe just how mind numbingly bad this 'game' is. I say game and use the term very loosely as it lacks even the most basic aspects of what constitutes an average game. After the first couple of hours or so, entertainment goes rapidly downhill. Lacking in content, boring quests, no character progression of any meaningful kind.

    This game has no meanigful content at all and its a joke of a 60$ game. I wouldnt even really recommend you buying it with game pass for 10$ because it is just that boring. No progression system at all. You only play for cosmetics and after like 2 hours you have seen pretty much everything this game has to offer. Dont wast your money on this early access No Many Sky like game!

    A criminally shallow game. The cartoony look will appeal to some but turn others off (it turned me off, but still gave it a chance).

The cartoony look will appeal to some but turn others off (it turned me off, but still gave it a chance). There is very little to do in this game and any thoughts of exploring will quickly give way to realisation that you need things to actually find if you are to explore. The islands are all bare and lifeless, the "quests" are all the same, very little animals etc. and boils down to doing one of 3 things, cage a chicken, kill a skeleton or dig a treasure chest all which is just turned in for gold.

    The ONLY thing you receive in the game is cosmetic items for all that gold you haul, that combined with a 1st person perspective means you don't even see your character, not that you would want to, the character models are deliberately made grotesque (even the mermaids are hideous). I'm thinking there was a strong SJW influence over this game with the "no one loses" mentality and only fat chicks allowed, beauty is forbidden.

    The only standout hope for the game is PvP ship battles, but the weaponry sucks. Ultimately this game feels like a $5 mobile game, and I don't see any reason to pay more for it. If you want a good game try building a boat in Ark Survival Evolved, it has incredible depth and freedom, a very underrated game.    … Expand

    Sea Of Thieves feels like Rare came in with a water physic tech demo and then added a simple item fetch quest system and called this a complete game. Calling this a Rare title feels horrible as I love classic Rare.. anything from Kameo and back to DK Country.

    Simply put this game has a great sailing system, bare bones mechanics both in fighting, PVE, PVP, and customization. Take a look    Sea Of Thieves feels like Rare came in with a water physic tech demo and then added a simple item fetch quest system and called this a complete game. Calling this a Rare title feels horrible as I love classic Rare.. anything from Kameo and back to DK Country.

    Simply put this game has a great sailing system, bare bones mechanics both in fighting, PVE, PVP, and customization. Take a look at the announce trailer 2 yrs ago and tell me if you see anything new or changed.. and should I even say things were removed such as ability to open a chest.

    Pros:
    - Beautiful Water Physics
    - Concept
    - Art style
    - Team Gameplay regarding ship controls and ship combat.

    CONS:
    - Quest System ( 3 Types of quests which are pretty much the same thing..just a new asset is used as the collect this and return concept.
    - Cosmetics ( Rare has literally only done cosmetics for the last like 15 yrs on the marketplace.. a couple small Kinect games don't count) .. why so few and why so generic?
    - No progression past a Rep system that is to this point completely meaningless past cosmetic unlocks.
    - No Leveling system
    - No Penalties for anything ( If grinding for cosmetic gold currency is boring .. all there is left is PVP.. problem is no bounties or anything to make one Pirate more fierce or a price on a head or anything to make people care.. the only thing to do is do everything you can in about 1 hour.. then just ruin the time of others without any thought on should or does it matter)
    - World has nothing to do.. no interaction with anything.. exploring feels pointless.
    - So few enemies and can we talk about how the animations (Snakes) are so freaking awful.
    - No Story, No nothing really..just a good team sailing game with nice water and weather effects on water.
    - So much missing.. only two types of boat.. No Canoes, No Harpoons, No loot, No Traps, Nothing interesting to collect.
    - Weapon Combat is bad, feels like what you see produced in college game design classes. Nothing slashing a horribly animated snake just to see if fall and disappear.

    My overall opinion is this game was created by a totally changed and corporate Rare.. Microsoft knew this game had no features and didn't care.. they used this as a big name title with lots of hype to convince people to NOT PAY 60 BUCKS AND INSTEAD SUBSCRIBE TO XBOX GAMEPASS which is honestly whats going on seeing they actually had ads up saying play for FREE.. 14 day trial and only 10 bucks/month. They want people to pay 10 bucks a month that way they are slowing paying into a Early Access game that isn't called Early Access !    … Expand

The core gameplay grows stale after a few voyages, and you begin to grow weary of the frequent encounter with other players camping at the outposts.

I do not agree with this standard. A 5 to me, is a mediocre game that has only a few enjoyable/good things about it. Sea of Thieves embodies this. The games looks good for the cartoonish graphics it is going for. The sailing is realistic and enjoyable. A journey with friends is very enjoyable and brings a ton of laughs and crazy antics. But that is where the good aspects stop. The game is a grind-fest for cosmetic items. You do fetch-quest after fetch quest for measly amounts of gold that translate to cosmetic upgrades. There is no over-arching story, only fetch-quests. The gun-play is as bare-bones as it gets, and the sword-play is only slightly better than that. The game gets boring quickly, especially if you play alone. Enemies, fetch-quests, and limited player interactions leave this game a boring slog. It is not a game I recommend regardless of the Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, and PC 'war' mentality. It is too expensive at $60 for what little content is available, and it isn't promising enough to invest in with an early access mentality.

    For those who enjoy it, good. You have every right to, but if you are one of the people discarding valid criticisms on here or other sites, know that it only hurts you and other consumers. Any game can be made fun with friends, that doesn't make the game good. Any game can be improved in the future, but it does not warrant $60 right now. If you really want to give this a try get a two week game pass trial from Xbox, that is the only way I can suggest for others to explore Sea of Thieves.    … Expand

Sea of Thieves has no story, no competitive multiplayer, no character progression (barring cosmetics), and only very little in the way of compelling gameplay. If you read a review claiming you can do anything in this game, you have been lied to, and the same goes for the "different experience every time" BS. There are three quest vendors and about as many shops. The shops all sell cosmetics, and nothing more. The vendors offer one type of quest each, but each of those quests are essentially the exact same: sail to a small, uninteresting island, kill skeletons/capture chickens/dig, bring the thing this gives you back, get paid. Wash, rinse, repeat. That's the overwhelming bulk, and the occasional session-ending glitches, boring combat (4 weapons total), and relentless repetition, all make this one a pass at $60. I could go on--there's only one type of enemy you can fight per land/sea (sharks/skeletons), there's almost no point fighting other players on those rare occasions you do find them, etc., but I won't bore you. It's fun to sail the ships, but there are only two, and you can't upgrade them in meaningful ways, only the cosmetics. Drinking grog and firing yourself out of a canon and sailing across the sea are all honest to goodness fun, but it's not worth $60 dollars by any stretch of the imagination. I am not saying nobody can have fun on this game, just that for the majority of people this will wear off quickly as the limited nature of this game's weapons, enemies, quests, tasks, and upgrades all become harder and harder to ignore. A beautiful grind for no reason is still a grind for no reason--aesthetics aren't a strong enough pillar to make this last. Do not forget No Man's Sky, and resist the hype. Pass this one while it's at full retail price, it just isn't worth it. Pick it up at ~$30 and enjoy it for what it is.… Expand

    A game that sparks your imagination. Oh, the theme, landscapes, ship physics, sound effects. Sadly, that fantasy does not live beyond the first hours, since there is no content and long-term cycles that support it.

    TL;DR: Sea of Thieves is ambitious but falls flat. The open world is lifeless and becomes boring fast. Quest design is tedious. PvP is a slog. All progression is cosmetic and death/destruction carries little risk or reward. Too shallow to be worth buying, too little content to justify staying subscribed to the Game Pass if this is the only game you were anticipating using the game pass for.

    During the betas people making these observations were shouted down with the standard rallying cry of "it's a beta, not everything is available!". But now that the full game is here... well, it hasn't changed much from beta. You get quests and items more frequently - and yes, the kraken is there, albeit quite a disappointment once you realize he's a two trick pony - but the core gameplay loop remains unchanged. It will take an hour or two to acclimate to navigation and land combat but once you've done that you've pretty much hit the climax of the experience. All of the quests are the same, mostly revolving around fetch quests. The islands themselves are bland, feeling like drab copy/pastes just plopped into the ocean, with the same terrain and predictable enemies. Sailing the open seas becomes rote early on as the only threats you encounter are fellow pirates; there's no anti-pirate enemy AI (think the British Navy as the antagonists to the Pirates of the Caribbean). Fall off the ship and get too far away? No problem, a handy merman will just teleport you back. Ship destroyed? No problem, merman will send you to another. Losing treasure hurts until you realize the only thing you'd be doing with that gold is buying more cosmetics anyway.

    Rare's idea that they wanted to create a game where anyone can jump in with friends regardless of level is novel but it ultimately means this coop action RPG lacks any carrot on a stick. It's all stick. Unless you're REALLY interested in playing dress up and exterior ship designer, there's little motivation to play long term. Given how one of the chief complaints about Destiny 2 right now is that it focuses too heavily on cosmetic items, I feel like leaning heavily on cosmetics as the primary 'progression' system in a 2018 coop 'mmo-lite' is going to blow up in Rare's face.

    PVP is simply tedious. Some say it's tactical but I don't see the tactics in it. These fights almost always devolve into circling in and out of range endlessly until one side or the other tries to run - then you either chase or are chased and the whole thing repeats. But for what? If the ship you attack has no treasure, you get nothing. If it has loads of treasure - more gold for buying cosmetics so, yay, I guess? I suspect it will only be a matter of time before PvP in this game turns into a slower version of The Division's Dark Zone, where people do it more to grief others rather than for any reward or excitement.

    I'm tired of hearing the "this game is for people with imagination" excuse because that logic holds no merit. Your imagination is limited to the tools you are given. Consider it this way: You can have the most ornate sandbox with the most expensive, finest sand in the world but if you only have a plastic bucket and a plastic shovel, what you can do with that sand is limited even if your imagination is as vast as Calvin and Hobbes'. Now add in the fact that a game like SoT is even more restrictive on those tools; In your in-game bucket you can literally do only two things, scoop water or vomit in it. You have buckets of wood planks but can't do anything with them except patch ship holes. Your shovel exists only to dig up treasure. If you read a review which uses the buzzphrase 'emergent gameplay', stop reading it immediately. There's no real emergent gameplay here after the first few hours. No ship building. No outpost building. No social hub a la Tortuga. No real risk in the world due to only 6 possible ships in the map at any given time. No bounty system. No player engagement outside of emotes and PVP.

    One final note: You may read some people saying you can solo this game. You "can" in the sense of you can start the game and man a sloop by yourself. But you won't be able to do anything of significance without at least one other player.    … Expand

There's no solid progression, everything is cosmetic. The enemys are repetitive and stupid, the pvp laughable.

    Gonna give this a chance with gamepass but i can't see a promising future for sea of thieves, unless they add more content and vary the voyages.    … Expand

    If this game was a movie it would be a straight to DVD type of movie. Makes sense why it went straight to gamepass I guess. This game is easily forgettable and pretty repetitive. Feeling repetitive after 2 hours is not a good sign. I also don't like the art style or the clunky gameplay mechanics. Nothing AAA about this, and could easily pass as a free-to-play title.

The game was seemingly shipped devoid of any useful content. Full of fetch quests and boring, repetitive environments, this games best moments are at the start of the game when you’re first learning how to sail properly with your friends, shooting each other out of the cannons, winning your first PVP ship battle, or just simply drinking beer in the inn.

    When the novelty of these “firsts” wears off though, you’re left $60-100 down with an empty shell of a game that has nothing for you to do but collect cosmetics, do chores, or fart around. You could easily call this game “No Mans Sky: Water Edition” and it would be almost entirely accurate. Both shipped incomplete at FULL retail price when they should have cost $30, both have absolutely nothing exciting to do, and the combat for both games (a noteworthy portion of them) is clunky and unfun.

    It’s time to stop rewarding game developers for creating poor, unfinished experiences and time to start demanding more for our money. I had the luxury of playing Sea of Thieves through Xbox’s game pass, but many people spent their hard earned money on this, and that’s a tragedy in itself. No more pre-ordering, no more excuses, no more waiting 6-12 months for them to so “generously” add the rest of the game you paid for. Take a stand.    … Expand

    Sea of Thieves is a really fun game. However, because of the lack of rules, it's really abusable. In my first 20 hours of gameplay, this is what I've noticed.

In my first 20 hours of gameplay, this is what I've noticed.

    Camping
    Camping outposts is really common and really popular. As a sloop player for the first 10 hours if I saw a 4 man camping the outpost it became "time to visit another outpost". That kind of gameplay isn't fun. As a 4 man, I found that while unloading we'd just get barraged by other groups and have some but a very small portion stolen. This also isn't fun. Its the equivalent of dying while turning in a quest to only realize you have to do the quest again entirely. In WOW they have guards that punish players for killing in certain areas but still allowing it. Not every outpost should be a safe zone but there should be at least 1 area where you can safely turn in quests. A lot like a pirates haven.

    Spawn Abuse
    In my last 5 hours of playing I was with a fairly well coordinated 4 man. We were taking a stronghold and halfway through someone tried to sink our ship. No big deal we take them on and enjoy the action. We sink their ship after landing 15 shots to the submerged part of the ship. So we go back to the stronghold and keep on fighting it while a few of our guys repair then meet back up. The guys who we just sunk respawn and come over. We sink them again. We continue the stronghold. They come over again they finally sink us and the stronghold was at the boss. We lost once but because spawning is abusable we lost a lot of work. To me, there should be some kind of New Life Rule or NLR. The fact that we sunk them in a completely fair matchup should have been the end of that quarrel. Extremely lame that you can win and those who lost get to abuse respawning until they win if their spawns are lucky enough. To me, this feels like I'm wasting my time playing. I enjoyed taking the stronghold I enjoyed fighting the enemies. I did not enjoy getting cheesed and the game permits it. Which pretty much negates any fun I was having.

    Quests
    Quests are highly repetitive. Maybe scale difficulty quicker. A lot of the level 15 quests feels no harder than the level 1. You have skeletons you have bosses use them. Too many quests demand the same thing without variation in difficulty. Every now and then you do get a good hard one but it's not often. Also for merchant quests, it would be nice to turn it in anywhere since outpost camping is a thing and its hard enough doing the merchant quests for fun anyways.

    NonQuest Items
    Nonquest items contribute jack all to your rank in that guild. It really should contribute just as much since getting items from quests is actually easier since it screams "THE LOOT IS RIGHT HERE".

    Price
    For 60$ you won't get much for variety here. Realistically the game should cost 20$ or 30$ the 60$ is a cash grab and a joke until the price is brought down I do not recommend playing this game.

    Conclusion
    It's not bad but if you already have gamepass do not pay the 60$ on this game it will leave you with regret. I would actually recommend buying gamepass for a week and you'll experience all this game has to offer for 10$.

    I have no idea what Rare was thinking when they released this game, i would rather play fallout 76 rather than this, what does that tell you.

    Comparing this to No Mans Sky is a insult, to No Mans Sky.

    This is ok with friends, playing solo on the other hand. Expect to be really bored, really quick.    … Expand

    Very little content, looks like a polished indie game. If there was content, and it was $9.99, could be a great game. Playing alone this game is abysmal, with friends you might laugh because your friends are funny people. The most regretful game purchase I have ever made.

    Shame this comes from a previously great studio, has nothing going for it it seems that business as usual Rare started developing and funds stopped half way through so had to push it out in its current state, feel sorry for Rare. The game is boring beyond imagination and worse yet we're asked 60 USD/EUR for it.

    The game is buggy at best. But the real crime is that this game cost just as much as other big AAA titles.

Sure, you will have fun during the first 10 hours. Then you see the cracks. The same missions over and over. Fetch this. KillThe game is buggy at best.

    Drop the price at least to half - Then you will have a quite good game. No way near worth the asking price!! It's a gloryfied demo. Do not listen to the scores from "Official Xbox Magazine" - It's a microsoft game. No doubt they will rate it high no matter what.    … Expand

This is shallow and cynical in its design by allowing other players to ruin your progress even if you want to focus on the story missions, it's such a monumentally stupid design choice. As an adult i just dont have the time to play a game where I cannot progress. Pointless. Add a PVE mode and fast travel between Outposts, being sunk by some idiot then re-spawning about 20 minutes from the island you had a mission at is infuriating game design.… Expand

    Pvp only is way too frustrating for new players with basic stuff, the game is quite good and beautiful but to die again and again takes all of the fun out... I'm glad i played it with gamepass and didn't have to pay full price. A pve mode would allow more players to enjoy the game especially when a pvp mode already exists.

    As únicas três missões que você realmente recebe são tão pateticamente repetitivas. Você pode jogar por uma única hora e terminar cada tipo de missão possível.
    O jogo não lhe da senso de direção, não te pega pela mão e os jogadores mais experientes terão que lhe guiar a todo momento, tornando a experiência monótona, e cansativa para ambos os lados, infelizmente eles ousaram demais, quiseram fazer algo totalmente novo mas utilizaram das características de game design mais patéticas da industria, nem se quer colocaram um sistema de progressão, rank ou tracker, as conquistas são impossíveis, combate enferrujado e dificuldade frustrante.
    O mundo criado é lindo, porém vazio, os eventos escassos como o tubarão, kraken e os navios fantasma não mais impressiona na segunda vez, e você apenas deseja que não aconteça de novo, pois o jogo não tem um Gun Fight bom.
    A história é inexistente, mesmo jogos com foco exclusivo no MMO, jogos como serviço e grind, possui um background na história(Destiny, anthem e RPG´s online), e quando se é explorado de maneira correta, acaba à ter uma fanbase sólida para consumir produtos de outras mídias, sea of thieves não possui nem justificativa dos acontecimentos, tudo acontece de maneira rasa e superficial .    … Expand

    It's beautiful. It can be fun, but unless you're playing with your friends it doesn't have very much charm. Even so, after a few hours the charm it does have wears off very quickly. I want to like it more, but its the kind of game I'd rather watch on youtube. I'm sure if it were at least half of it's price tag more people would be on board. Rating - 66%

Wait for a sale or for added content. For as big as Sea of Thieves is, it lacks in content and that can make the difference between a good game and a bad game.

Você pode escolher entre ficar no PVP ou partir para PVP ou ficar 100% no PVP no modo arena. Realmente o game em seu início, teve bug e a ausência de conteúdo mas, isto é questão de tempo. Hoje grande parte dos bugs foram corrigidos, tivemos adição de muito conteúdo no game. O novo conteúdo esta fantástico trazendo quests para o game, adicionando histórias de embarcações e piratas e ao terminar as quests, o jogador é premiado com títulos e itens exclusivos para seu pirata e barco. Gostei bastante do conteúdo adicionado no update de aniversário (Tall Tales Shores of Gold). Claro quando se aplica um patch grande um e outro bug aparecem mas, logo é corrigido, tanto que, hoje em dia não vejo mais uma quantia grande de bugs.

    Não tenho acesso a número de players mas, acredito no que a Rare falou sobre o SEA ter uma excelente saúde em seus servidores. Jogo com minha esposa e sempre tem pessoas online para fechar embarcação (se não tiver em grupo com amigos), também vemos bastante pirada ao mar, dos bons ao ruins! O modo arena não é meu foco por ser PVP mas, todas vezes que joguei aleatório ou grupo, estava com muitos players e o “pau quebrando” geral! Gostei bastante, tanto que, irei me aprofundar.

    Acredito que a proposta do game fora atingida com seus gráficos, atualizações e updates, para mim é um excelente game e é um dos mais jogados da minha lista de jogos. Minhas lives na Twitch de SEA em algumas ocasiões chegam a ser de 10 horas!

    Não tenho o que reclamar de gráfico, acho eles muito legais por terem uma pegada cartunesca e as personalizações de pirata e barco dão um toque super “bacana” ao game. Adoro a “sound track” do game, me faz jogar com mais vontade o game! Isto quando não escuto lista de música para auxiliar na inspiração da exploração marítima do dia!

    Enfim, se você gosta deste tipo de game embarque nesta aventura, caso negativo, acredito que este não seja o seu game!

    We have nothing but respect for Rare's vision with Sea of Thieves, but it is a game as likely to chew you up and spit you out, as it is to embrace you. If the wind is in your favour then it can be a delight, but a storm is never far off if you lose momentum. The real test of the quality and efficacy of Rare's plan will be in how it manages to evolve and grow in the weeks and months to come. [Issue#199, p.67]
