    Você espera 4 anos para ser lançado após seu anúncio, o jogo vem com downgrade, vem claramente inacabado e com gameplay repetitivo espero que em um futuro o jogo melhore com atualizações. Triste ver um estúdio como a Rare que marcou nossa infância com excelente jogos nos entregar um jogo completamente intediante e com um lançamento tão conturbado.

    I may be able to forgive the lack of content if the PvP aspect wasn't equally as unsatisfying. Successfully out played the enemy Galleon? They'll be back with a resupplied ship within a few minutes. No matter how skilled you are, they will eventually get you once you're out of supplies. Then there's nothing stopping you to come back either. Repeat this until one of you finally decides to join a different session after realizing that the entire encounter was pointless.    … Expand

    First off, I actually give this game a 4, but the fact that tons of people are just giving it a 8-10 but saying it needs more content triggered me, so people don't actually know how to rate... and should be taken out of the scoring, so I'm giving it a 0 to compensate for .... ya you know.

    Very atmospheric, very fun, amazing water effects, can be fun with the right people.

    Problems:
    Sluggish combat system, trying to switch weapons too fast will make it so that you don't actually switch weapons, and therefor not switch unless you spam the button so that way you switch when you actually can.

    Not much to do honestly, the quests are enjoyable, but there needs to be a wider range.

    The spawning system is atrocious. The skull island raid is great, but the pvp there is nonsense considering if you win and sink a ship, they are back there in 2 seconds because they spawn at the closest outpost. This game was made by millennials for millennials, so even if you lose, you get to retry retry retry retry retry retry retry retry retry until one crew gets sick of it and leaves. Honestly, if you lose the least that should happen, is you spawn on the other side of the map, what I would like more, is for you to switch servers so that you cannot come back. This would force the community to get better at ship combat by making them actually repair their ships, or do drive by's... not hey lets anchor and everyone on cannons and blasting and hope they sink before we do, then repair when they are gone.

    So the lack of content pushes everyone to do the ONLY skull island out, and you get a never-ending battle where skull island takes 1-4 hours to do. Also, where is the damn variety in monsters, its just skeletons over and over and over.... god put some ai pirates and stuff like that driving around with rewards for killing them... something... anything... PLEASE!

    So there being only 1 skull island, and galleys on the server that can just keep coming back, a solo/duo on a sloot that want to challenge themselves to do it, can't... period... infinite spawn of galleys won't allow you to.

    Changes that should be made: Faster combat system, more weapon variants, maybe a 2 hander that has longer range and deals more damage but is slower, a sword AND shield where you can block bullets. A better scoped sniper rifle, maybe even a different type of rifle and submachine gun. Add 1 more weapon slot so that we have a little more ammo, and more capability in combat. Add ammo slot upgrades that gives you 1-5 more bullets. When a ship is sunk, that crew needs to spawn on the furthest outpost away that has no one at it, not the freaking closest one. And honestly, Galleys should be on their own server, and sloots on theirs. I've seen too many galleys only go after sloots, and completely ignore other galleys because the crew is pathetic. Also, how's about when you finally get the kraken and defeat it... how about some kind of freaking reward... how do you guys reward people for losing with 800 chances... yet a crew that wins vs a kraken you give nothing too. Who is making decisions for this game? They need to be fired, and allow someone else to take the helm.

    Also, how is this a $60 title? Can anyone come up with a legitimate answer other than these guys just wanted to make a quick pirates plunder and then hope everyone doesn't care? This game is probably worth $20, but definitely not worth more than $30.

    I've talked to many of my friends about how much I was anticipating this game, then after playing it for a few days they asked about it, and I told them straight up, not worth it, because it isn't. When a ton more content is added for us to go do, and they figure out and add the things that i've put in here, I'll change my opinion, and tell people to get the game, but as of right now this looks like a cash crab with 0 passion, because they would have realized that there wasn't much to do in the game.

    I had a lot of faith in rare, but I will never.... EVER buy another title from them, and everyone else should do the same. We need to stop these companies from making quick bucks and moving on and exploiting gamers that just want to play a game that they want to love, but then get rick rolled with 30 minutes of content.    … Expand

    Sea of Thieves is a return to form for Rare Studios, a studio with a storied history but has not made a non Kinect title since Microsoft introduced that periphreal since 2010. This is a game that features the studio's signature charm and humor and holds to its core design philosophy of making unique and interesting games that buck the industry trends. This is perhaps the best title we haveSea of Thieves is a return to form for Rare Studios, a studio with a storied history but has not made a non Kinect title since Microsoft introduced that periphreal since 2010. This is a game that features the studio's signature charm and humor and holds to its core design philosophy of making unique and interesting games that buck the industry trends. This is perhaps the best title we have seen from Rare in over a decade, a studio that never quite felt in control after they became a part off Microsoft. The mechanics of the game are simple in nature but are effective and rely on a player's own ability to make reasonable conclusions based on how things work and behave.

    Steering the ship can feel cumbersome and difficult but that is because it takes practice and finesse. Navigating the map can be challenging but once you get used to identifying the unique characteristics of the island it becomes second nature, with no need for any automated assists that games so often feel obligated to provide. In terms of the rules that govern the game, it feels like an open canvas that you can interpret as you like. Getting used to the basics doesnt take long but mastering the finer aspects of playing the game is something that may be difficult to pick up on.

    Bear in mind, this is a game all about social interaction. You can play it solo but the open seas are a lonely place. Not only is it very challenging to strike it on your own, but it also misses the point of this game. This game is meant to be played with other sea worthy mateys, not only to work is best but also gives the best opportunities for strong emergent gameplay. This game is most about the stories that you can tell and remember, stories involving exploring shipwrecks, dueling with other players, fending off the kraken, and many other things thar can happen.

    I have spent many hours at sea and have only explored a handful of the locations. The way missions work are largely randomly generated quests so it can feel repetitive when there is a lack of variety in the objectives. Bear in mind though that the quests do get stronger with multitiered goals as you increase your ranks. The people saying there is nothing to do or see after just a few hours seem to take assumption that the game is solely based on the early types of quests given. They don't seem to understand that player interaction adds to the depth and scope of everything they experience in this game. They don't see the ocean for its islands, if you will. This isnt a game about grinding to an endgame, it is an evolving experience that with time and updates will flourish. Rare is back!    … Expand

    Then there is the Gaming Community that is currently taking the game as hostile.
    There is a larger group of players that has found out that 4v1 or 4v2 players are a real easy target. Especially if you are a console players. You will end up getting spawned killed over and over and over and over on your ship. You will get hunted by the same group of people even thought they killed you and know you dont have any valuable gold on your ship. Just because its easy for them. and think of it . PC vs xbox in a first person shooter who wins that fight ?

    Taking it up on the forums is pointless because the same group of people are active on the forums and made any discussion about this just toxic , this ranges to threats to personal attacks while moderators dont handle this to make sure you have a constructive discussion. But using swear words like Sh*t is not ok that will get you a warning or even a ban.

    Then there is the ingame content. From the alpha to beta to final game there has not really been added allot of content .. actually it seems from beta to final game they even downscale the game ? merchant missions are simple fetch and catch missions. other missions are ok though.

    The game is also riddled with allot of bugs that where not in the alpha or beta, Joining is a pain because on peak times its basically pointless playing since you wont ether get in or you wont get or keep your progress. Full character deletions or most items gone for ever have also been part of ongoing issues. Rare seems not to care to much ether here and tells people just to wait its a bug that re logging fixes and ignores people reporting that its not and that the bugged state is actually saved to your account now. all in all

    This is way to expensive ,
    Gets soon microtransactions to even milk people more.
    Ingame PVP mechanics are bad and abused allot.
    Community overrun by toxic players making this for sure not even a 12 year + game when real bad proofanity . threats and other harassment is screamed both in game and you get harassed on the forums while moderators refuse to take actions.

    And now Cheaters are also on top of that reported with rare responding .. Just report there name and proof.. Issue is you cant see other peoples player names. Its like they dont even care.

    With all thats going on , issues , bugs, double moral , rare not caring .. the high price (btw that might differ from country to country but in Australia its 100 $ right now and other people report same high local prices ) i can not in anyway recommend this game    … Expand

    This game seems to be a gorgeous game but actually, is a very boring game requiring players to do a similar quest repetitively. It costs around 60 bucks but is not worthwhile. However, if you have a lot of "fun" friends who bought this and can play with you, this game will be able to give you a much fun. Otherwise, you won't.

    Sea of Thieves is a great example of what NOT to do with a video game in 2018! It is a boring experience that calls itself a "Pirate" game which has an awful sword fighting engine, and a mere 3 weapons, (pistol, blunderbuss, sniper) and even worse only 2 types of ships (galleon, skoon). Now I generally enjoy playing games alone and obviously thats almost impossible in this game. And evenSea of Thieves is a great example of what NOT to do with a video game in 2018!

Now I generally enjoy playing games alone and obviously thats almost impossible in this game. And even though it is possible it lacks any type of fun whatsoever. Theres basically 2 mission types, fetch and deliver, or find an island, fight waves of the exact same skeleton until a Commander appears, then kill him and bring his skull back to the merchant. There is no XP system, no upgraded weapons or even mods. And the only progression whatsoever comes in the form of different skins for all your items, weapons, clothes and boats. You can't even create your own pirate. You just choose from randomly generated ones which took me nearly 30 monutes to find one that didnt look stupid. Then i decided to try to get into it and play online with others including one friend and even then it just wasnt any fun. We spent nearly an hour trying to get to an island on the map to pick up and make a delivery and sunk our own ship time after time. Once in a storm, and another I honestly dont know what happened, i wasnt even on the ship, got the chicken and omw back my friend said the ship is sinking. I realized then that all the time to get there was wasted and had to start over. I turned the game off. Came back online later that night for one more try and this time i went and lolled skeletons until i got the skull i needed and on my way back to the order of souls another ship of players came and i completely meant to mind my own and they attacked. I actually killed two of them and then my friend was killed and our ship was sinking which then cancelled the quest again. It was truly the biggest waste of about 10 hours i have put into a game in my life and because of the sheer lack of content. No xp system or any better weapons, (cosmetics DO NOT COUNT!) And the fact that its the worst game I have nearly ever played, i dont even feel its worth the 10 dollars for a month on xbox game pasd and therefore i must give it a 0 because on my opinion its a game that IS NOT WORTH PLAYING and i had to make my first metacritic account just to write this review because that's just how bad this game is and to get people to save their money! Even if rare puts tons of content in this game in 2 years tome it isnt fair to the people that pay 60 dollars on day one. They suffer having to wait and we as gamers need games like this to fail so that developers DO NOT CONTINUE THIS TREND OF RELEASING A GAME WITH PROMISES OF CONTENT LATER. Because then one day an incredible game concept will. Ome out, sell hundreds of thousands of copies and then the developer pulls the plug and reaps the rewards of their false promises. This must stop now. Sea of Thieves is exactly that. A Sea of thieving game producers and developers who are getting paid now while making the game later. If that was truly the case go to kickstarter where tons of amazing games have gotten the funding they need to release several fantastic games. I am cancelling my xbox game pass immediately following this review so that i save myself 10 dollars because i pretty much own all the good games on it and this game isnt worth it for free.… Expand

Roughly Three hours in and I’ve only seen one other person while playing solo or with friends. The game is gorgeous, however on higher settings has a pretty bad frame rate on PC. I’ve never seen water look this good honestly. The bad for me is how simple this game is & I do mean simple.

    There are 3 factions and each one gives you fetch quests to go and get something to bring back to them. Each time you do it you will get a faction number to rise which unlocks a cosmetic, exclusive to that faction while getting some gold. You then use the gold to buy skins for your character(that you don’t get to create), your weapons and ship. That’s it. There’s no story, there’s no other quest elements. All of the gear is cosmetic and plays the same as what you start out with. There are chests worth more and some do stuff like fill up your boat randomly with water if it’s a cursed chest.

    Overall it feels like a game still in beta and maybe one that was gonna use the loot box algorithm. I’m really disappointed in Rare & for the millionth time this gen, Microsoft. It’s not worth $60 and I felt like the $35 I put into it was too much also. I’d have paid maybe $15 for it, if anything honestly.

    This is very much the “Destiny” of pirate games and what I mean by that is another sixty dollar title has little content, a very buggy launch and is very repetitive. It is far worse in that sense than Destiny, but so people know where im coming from that is what I mean. I don't see this making it very far even with some changes due to the slew of games coming out this year, including what looks like a more ambitious pirate themed video game.    … Expand

    Beautiful world but sadly the gameplay isn’t as deep as the sea it takes place in, considering the game was 4 years in the making it just feels far from finished. Such little content it feels more like a budget title rather than a full priced offering, just another example of how far Rare have fallen.

Not only there is a giant problem with the lack of cosmetics, quests types, progression system, there is a giant one, and falls in the problem of the emptiness of the world. The world just feels empty, some handpicked npcs, and empty generic islands all over the world.

    This game while it has nice graphics is in need of some real interface work. Take a page out of Pirates of the Carribean game. The steering and shooting should be easier to manage. The story line needs to be more intuitive. Go here get this bring it there. There should be an option to purchase gold as well. Don't know why this game was released without thinking it through.

    It's a cool concept very poorly executed. Had the game offered real progression and a wider variety of objectives, it could have been something truly special. Instead, you play the same mission over and over on different islands. There's nothing to strive for other than cosmetic upgrades. There's no actual challenge or goal. It's hardly something you will come back to after playing a few missions.

    A wise man once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again.
    If this is true, Sea of Thieves is a insanity simulator. After 30 minutes of gameplay you get bored because you already saw everything (except the monster which is called Kraken, but it is not Kraken. Kraken should be a big octopus, not some lame tentacles in the sea). The gameplay is this:    A wise man once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again.

    1 - Go to an island
    2 - Fight very lame skeletons, and dig up a treasure chest (which you can't even open. I am a pirate who can't even see his gold, congratulations rare)
    3 - Go to your ship
    4 - repeat this until you run out of destinations
    5 - sell your treasure to a NPC, and repeat 1-4 all over again.

    Those reviewing this game as a 10 (perfection) must be new to gaming and have nothing to compare it too. I can think of two dozen games release in the past 12 months that make this game look laughable. Cartoonish graphics, obviously not an artistic choice but a cheap way to substain a decent frame rate, shallow gameplay, and lacking in just about everything that modern gamers deserve.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing visuals and an tmosphere that is perfect for the subject matter, but that is all this game has. Underneath this shiny coat of paint is nothing. The world itself looks fantastic, but nothing about it feels fleshed out. There's no story, no real progression, it like Minecraft in terms of making your own story, but the options become limited after just a few hours. Beyond that, you can get treasure, which becomes very repeated after a while andd you can experience the game's absolutely terrible combat system. This is what ruined the game for me. Me and my crew spent a long time fighting on a skull island, using our resources in what we hoped would be for a good payoff. Then some tryhards showed up and completely destroyed us because we had little to fight back with after 45 minutes of shooting skeletons. So we lost all of that progress and I lost all will to continue. It made me realize that this game does not give me any reason to keep playing. It is entirely wasted potential. It can be fun for a little while and it was, but once the feeling of emptiness creeps in, there's no stopping it. The terrible combat combined with griefers will only make that happen faster… Expand

We can excuse it as launch day problems and continue to support this bad habbit of launching products that dont work, Or we can let developers know this is not ok. Rent out extra servers to handle initial inrush of customers and dial back once launch is over.

    Oh, where you expecting to find something? ME TOO!

    Sea of Emptiness is the prime example of a polished turd. It's just as much of a disappointment as No Mans Sky was on launch day.

    Cons:
    -There is no character creation, just a randomized roulette wheel.
    -There is no lore or story.
    -NPCs are boring and say nothing that's of any interest.
    -The games three factions offer only simple fetch quests with no reward except gold.
    -The only progression is ranking up in one of three factions, doing so will reward you in fetch quests with more steps which might give you a little more gold than starting quests.
    -Gold is mainly used to purchase cosmetics.
    -Cosmetics offer nothing except a change in appearance. And because there is nothing but cosmetics a person that has played the game for 1 minute is no different than a person that's played it for 300 hours.
    -The only enemy you have excluding other players are skeletons (snakes don't count as you can just walk around them) that offer as much challenge as Minecraft PvE. Walk backward and shoot,
    -Enemies drop nothing and seem to only get in your way.
    - PvP is a thing but since there is no reward for killing other players there's no point. No k/d, no score, nothing.
    -Islands are practically empty. No environmental hazards of any kind.
    -When sailing the only hazards you have are a storm that you can easily avoid.
    -A shark spawns to discourage you from being in the water too long. It's a game that's 90% water, why?
    -There are no penalties for anything. You can die all you want, lose your ship, kill other players and nothing bad will happen.
    -Crews are limited to 4 people. This can be an issue when using the galleon which requires a minimum of 6.

    Pros:
    -It looks nice.

    To ask a person to pay $60 (a price which no game should ever be worth and we should never have been okay with) for basically nothing is insulting to say the very least. It's degrading, derogatory, disrespectful, offensive, repulsive, and rude.

    I already know how this is going to work because I've seen these scum sucking tactics before. They release this empty game and then over the years add the rest of it piece by piece, only they've wrapped it up as extra content, and then charge people $20 or $30.    … Expand

    1) Follow clues to treasure chests. These can be relaxing to do (solo) but are really very trivial, I can't see how this would be enjoyable after more than a couple days. 2) Collect random animals.

    2) Collect random animals. Basically go to an island and round up a few animals. This is even more trivial than the treasure chests.
    3) Kill "boss" skeletons. Again, very trivial and not enjoyable as the gun/melee mechanics in this game are very limited.

    Basically, all of the mission types above would be considered filler quests in any other MMO or RPG. Quests you wouldn't bother with after doing them a couple times. But that is all there is to this game.

    The PVP is pretty weak as well, but I mostly play solo so I didn't do too much of that. It is annoying that you have to deal with gank squads that just sit at outposts ready for you to return the boring missions. Running very boring missions with a chance of getting ganked at the end? Wow what fun! They should let solo players into instances with only other solo players that might be a bit more enjoyable.

    And not only are the missions boring and repetitive but the gold you receive is very minor for completing them. After almost 2 days I'm not even close to affording a single ship cosmetic (70,000 gold for the lamest ship cosmetic and after 2 days I'm not even close to that). Sure I can afford a couple lame clothing items but decking out your ship is what people want and that will take forever.

    I might have given this a 5/10 if the price was $20, with the promise of more content to come. But for $60 this game is an absolute rip off. After less than 2 days I'm already bored and probably won't bother playing anymore. Save your money or wait a couple years and see if they ever add any interesting content.    … Expand

    Um game que se você joga sozinho fica um tédio, porem quando junta uma galera que gosta de game de exploração creio que dure umas 10 horas até enjoar.... Não vale o preço cobrado

    I was going to give this game a 5 just to avoid the knee-jerk reactions of those seeing a 1 but in all honesty I can't give this "game" anymore. I put "game" in quotes because there isn't much game there. The only game this generation more empty of things to do was No Man's Sky but this sure is giving it a run for it's money.

Conker, Banjo, GoldenEye are three of my favorite games ever... period. Clearly Rare is Rare in name only at this point because this game is as bad as their years of Kinect garbage. This game feels like it is in the early stages of development not a $60 title. The mechanics are clunky, the activities are repetitive and the NPCs are unimaginative.

    And yes, this game is meant to be played with a full crew, with mics and this is another reason why it will be in the bargain bin by summer. And why they included "single player" is beyond me, it has even less to do than the multiplayer with a crew.

    As someone lucky enough to have extra income I picked up an Xbox One X (after selling my Xbox One S over a year ago) thinking that maybe NOW Microsoft would have some good games. But Sea of Thieves is just further proof that Xbox One is done for.    … Expand

É um jogo todo bonitinho e tal, mas ao fim de algum tempo torna-se um pouco aburrecido, o que se faz numa ilha é o que se faz nas outras todas, e no primeiro dia o servidor esteve em baixo, o que torna as coisas piores, espero que possa haver DLC com algo novo para fazer, alêm da mesma coisa...… Expand

    The game is so boring, and the graphics are really bad even if u play on a xbox one X, so many bugs and a giant sea with nothing to do.

    Absolute Disaster.
    I have nothing good to say about this game.
    The game-play is boring, the sound terrible, the controls stiff, the level design laughable and graphics pitiful.

    More a technology demonstrator or proof of concept than an actual game. After an hour or so you have done it all. No story, no progression, nothing. Massive potential but you have to think they left the vast majority of the game on the backlog.

    Cons:

    Bad, long load times - I'm writing this at a load screen right now. Any time you die you get the same long load screen No starting tutorial at all... Bad matchmaking settings LONG load times Bad interface - its an obvious console port - weird mouse support and interaction, some UI elements related to mouse are missing. Buggy - very first time spawning we had no boat. No    Cons:

    I will start by saying I do like the graphics on this game however the game as a whole is boring. You get a mission, go to an island and complete the same task as you have done 20 times already before sailing back to an outpost to hand it in. Absolutely no variety in this game. There are no tactical sea fights as you only have one option ... fire a canon ball in their direction to destroyI will start by saying I do like the graphics on this game however the game as a whole is boring.

There are no tactical sea fights as you only have one option ... fire a canon ball in their direction to destroy their ship, only to board their ship and steal more cannon balls. Even when you jump on an enemy ship to engage in gun fight its boring. You have 1 pistol and a sword which you just need to spam left mouse button to be effective. This game feels like it just put all the basics of a game together but not actually tried to make it fun and challenging. They have not tried to do anything different or even better. I would suggest using the xbox pass 14 day free trial to confirm this before buying.… Expand

    This game sucks. If you like to troll or have your time wasted by trolls you will love this game. Total loser game for 14 year olds.

    weak game, very badly optimized for everything, forget the rare brand that was once a brand of great quality games in the era of nintendo 64, it seems to me that this game was made up, we play more naughty and still have people talking q this game will compete with god of war it? This is a joke.

    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]
