    Another example of a game released way before it was ready. I don't know if they had development issues or just needed more time. The game has been in development for over 5 years I believe. But currently this game feels like an alpha. It feels like %30 of a finished game. You get a quest, sail to the island you need to, get chest/kill skeleton, go turn in quest. That's the entire game.Another example of a game released way before it was ready. I don't know if they had development issues or just needed more time.

You get a quest, sail to the island you need to, get chest/kill skeleton, go turn in quest. That's the entire game. Then you can level up and get cosmetics. That is it. This game had unlimited potential and they fulfilled none of it. On top of all of that the game also has troubling bugs and other problems. Latency problems, visual bugs and frame skips are all prevalent. So while there is PVP it gets very frustrating when there is massive lag spikes and frame skips. On top of that, it has an amateur multiplayer interface at best. You have no control over your party. Usually you just have to quit out of your game entirely if you want a friend to join you. And the cross-platform party system through the xbox app on PC has never actually worked without any problems whenever me and my friends have tried. It generally has taken us 20-30 minutes before we can even get into a game together due to the party problems. Also playing solo or even just duos is the hard mode of the game. The minor fun that is to be had from this game seemed to drain away while trying to use match making or sailing in a sloop. This is not a $60 game. It feels like a $20-$30 early access game. I know you can get it through xbox game pass but many people purchased it outright. And if you were wondering you can get a refund from microsoft. Just contact them. You don't have to have a valid reason. They will refund you. So, while this game may come to fruition in a year or so, as it stands now it is an extremely poor game.… Expand

I do give them credit though, even though their game is as shallow as No Mans Sky at launch, they at least weren't deceptive about how much content their game didn't have. I mean ship customization, character customization, ship upgrading, enemy NPC's and enemy ships that weren't player controlled, even just a damn statistic tracker how hard would that have been for such an experienced developer? They didn't even care enough to try and prevent grievers who can spawn camp or sit at an outpost and kill people trying to turn in quests, I mean that's the basic of the basic multiplayer design.

    Basically at the end of the day, a mediocre 15 dollar game with a 60 dollar price tag. Get it for free on Game Pass or just pass entirely, they do not deserve your money.    … Expand

    This is a glorified demo or No Mans Sky water edition.

    There are 3 voyages that you do and no matter what voyage you pick you end up doing the same things over and over. Go to island X kill some skeletons or go to island Y and dig up a chest.

    The game is shallow and has very little stuff to keep players coming back for more. Right now the only thing your working for is gold so you can buy some skins to look cool the problem here is the skins are over priced because they dont have enough skins to sell.For example there are several coats that all look almost identical the only difference is the color there is no variety in the gear you can buy.

    PVP can be fun at times having epic ship battles but those only happen 10 percent of the time. If you do try to level up fast then do a raid that takes 2-3 hours because you have to not only fight through waves of skeletons but you also have to deal with people that troll you. I can not count how many times my group has done a raid only to have some sloop show up steal the key then hide it so we cant find it. This is aggravating because you just wasted 3 hours not really enjoying the content because its so much rinse and repeat and you have nothing to show for your wasted time.

    There is also the issue with the fact that all the islands are identical sure they have different placement of assets but none of them have a unique character that makes me reorganize them as soon as I step foot on them. The servers right now only support 7 ships so the world feels like a empty place. If you want a ship simulator where you spend most of your time on a boat doing nothing then this is the game for you. I would say take advantage of the game pass and try the game for 14 days and then sign up for a month of the game pass. This game IMO is only worth $15-$20 not the full fledged 60 or more that Microsoft wants.    … Expand

Sadly, after only a few hours of gameplay, I have come to the conclusion that it's very boring in a short amount of time, which is not good at all considering how long I waited for this release.

    If the constant enemy camping at outposts isn't bad enough, the $60 purchase for a game teeming with near nothing to do but wander around aimlessly for hours is BS, and I'm taking this game back for a refund, or a trade in of some kind. It's just not what I was hoping for, so now I must wait again for another Exclusive to hit my XBox One S that might be worth of the purchase, but we all know this game just is not the winner it was touted as being. It seems that many others feel the same way, and I thought the following comments sum this game up the very best!

    "Sea of Thieves has no story, no competitive multiplayer, no true character progression, and only very little in the way of compelling gameplay."

    "If this game were a movie, it would be a straight to DVD type of movie".

    "This game, I feel will be mostly positive just from people really wanting to have a good Microsoft exclusive, but long story short, this game is as large as an ocean but as deep as a puddle. Not much has changed from the alpha, and it seems like the appropriate price should be 30 dollars, not 60".

    That really sums up how I felt about this game, and that is why I'm giving this game a rating of 4 out of 10. This game is the HAZE of this Generation. Hoped to be a great exclusive, okay with some friends for a few hours I suppose, then becomes so boring that you just want to place it back on the shelf and wait for more content to come for the game, (for free), one day to help make this the game it should have been in the first place, (much like No Man's Sky has been).    … Expand

    Sea of fetch quests.

    Seriously, outside 3-4 fetch quests, this game has basically one more thing to do. That's pretty terrible.

    You can however get around 10-15 hours of fun from the experience, learning to sail, cooperating, trying to solve riddles, but more than that and it gets *very* repetitive, and yeah, boring.

    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

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

The game is a relentless sequence of rinse and repeat fetch quests, that are boring in every way and lack any real hook or reason to be doing it in the first place. Theres no gear, everything is cosmetic, this effectively means theres no progression or character growth, only arbitrary ranks with the games three factions. There are 3 types of quests, and thats it. Seriously. Go to an island and find treasure, find chickens, or go to an island and kill skeletons.

    The combat is inexcusably bad. Theres a single attack button for swords, which have a 3 hit combo. And thats it... For a game in 2018, I have no idea why Rare thought it was ok to do that. Combat is so bad, it shouldn't even be in the game. Skeletons have broken AI and are no challenge. All you have to do is stand on a rock and it breaks the AI and path finding, and they will just stand there while you mash at them.

    The game gets boring real quick once you figure out youve seen and done everything the game has to offer after the first hour of gameplay. After you learn the mechanics, theres nothing left but the grind. And my oh my is it a grind, the stuff of legend. Since theres no gear, no levels, no equipment or gadgets, no progression, not even a story line or a plot, theres not much this game has to offer.

    A terrible disappointment, through and through. If your set on getting this, DONT BUY IT for $60, thats a total rip off. Get Game Pass by Microsoft, you can play it for 14 days for free (trial.)

The primary game is fetch quests with a few random events tossed in.

    Sea of Thieves has the framework of a game that could be brilliant. I halfway believe maybe it will become that game in a year or so. If so I'd be more than happy to pay for it. But for now, i could not recommend anyone to buy this essentially early access game at full price.

    Side note: that water is beautiful. Rare should license out whatever tech they used to make that happen.    … Expand

    I was really, really excited for the release of Sea Of Thieves.
    Rare Ltd. the studio devoloping it was a legendary and I expected so much out of them. But then after playing the games for several days after launch, it has left a bitter taste in my mouth.

    But this game is not that. This game is not at all what was promised. The game looks beautiful and you really come to admire the cartoonish yet amazing artstyle. Furthermore the music in the game is amazing and you'll be dancing to the tunes as you set out on your pirate adventures. But the flaws are there.
    Their is not progression you only have reputation and becoming a "pirate legend" to look forward to. I feel as the game should have been more mmo-esque. What I would have liked to see is a skill tree, not that would make things unfair but i their has to be some kind of objective. Voyage's get old fast and in the beggining they are a real joy, but quickly feel like a choir with voyage's repeating themselves constantly and to my experience, there are almost no other pirates at sea and it just feels like a PvE game only and not a hybrid ( PvP and PvE ).
    The game's asking price is unacceptable regarding the fact that you get so little descent content at launch, the game feels like it's in beta and I do not, at all reccomened buying it for 60 dollars, wait for the price to go down to maybe 15-25 dollars or just get it free for 14 days through xbox game pass!

    Hope you enjoyed my review, if you did you can go check out my youtube channel at JustMeaty ( the channel with Glitched M as its logo ), I don't upload reviews there but you can find other types of exciting content there! Farewell! :D    … Expand

    Such a beautiful game. The art is clearly very well-done.

    However, for $60 there is no real game. The only three missions you really get are so pathetically repetitive. You could play for a single hour and finish every single mission type possible.

    sin contenido, 3 misiones, 1 tipo de enemigo, sin historia, sin sistema de progresion, 2 armas. Lo quite a las 4 horas, quizas en un año o dos años valga la pena si le meten contenido por ahora parece un early access

    Sea of Thieves provides all the necessary tools to the players willing to dive together in great naval adventures, full of smaller quests and epic sea battles.

    An amazing world full of promise, but currently rather empty. More updates will be key. [May 2018, p.74]

    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]
