    Its great to see that good old Rare is back! I mean this game has Rare written all over it. From the beautiful landscapes, over the top seamless Multiplayer, True course navigation and plenty of plunder, fire and RUM with bananas top top over it. Absolutely must have. Specially if you already have Xbox Game Pass!

    The game is great with a FUN open world and player interaction. Good for casual gamers and"professionals" alike. I can recommend it also for a very good art style and thrill of the very danger pirate life. Watch out for the sharks!

Its a social game similar to games like World of Warcraft. It requires team work or a lot of skill. I recommend playing this with a friend or in a group. Playing Solo is still a fun experience if you know how to manage yourself and the thrill of being chased or hunted by other players is adrenaline boosting. Well done Rare, they took a risk and found a hidden gem under the sand.… Expand

    It's a fun coop game for sure. Great artstyle and amazing water. My only issue is the 30fps. It's hard to go back after playing Fortnite, Halo, Gears etc in 60fps.
    Would probably be a 10 if it was 60fps.

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!

    Do not focus on earlier reviews, because this game has come back. The tall tales are awesome, you could play just tall tales for 20 hours, AND THEN play the real game. A magical, fun, heartwarming explore experience.

    If you want to fight bigger and bigger monsters with bigger health bars while getting bigger guns to chip away at bigger health bars then this is not the game for you.

    You play this game for the fun of playing with friends, chatting, sailing, cooperating, digging and hunting, getting in to storms with a full ship of treasure and nearly losing it all, getting attacked by other players half way through a fort fight as they try and steal your winnings, seeing two other ships in the distance having a fight, and deciding you need in on this and all the loot should be yours.

    All the mechanics are solid.
    Sailing works well, fights can get very tactical, and there are lots of hidden items and emergent quests that come along as you are sailing around.

    The only thing I dislike is that fundamentally you are doing three types of quests, kill skeletons, dig up treasure, or collect animals.

    I feel they need to add some more AI interactions. Skeleton ships to attack, or pirate hunters who come after you when you have lots of loot on board.

    All in all it is a fun game, especially with friends. But the joy of the game comes from when interactions occur between players. The base mechanics itself can drag.    … Expand

    Sea of thieves is a great but misunderstood game. I believe the negative reviews that it's getting are largely due to the fact that so many people pre-ordered this game without doing much, if any, research into it. It was made very clear that this would be a different sort of game with no overarching story, instead focusing on making your own story with your friends.

The game has great sailing mechanics, and a fun and interactive world, but the game is not fun without a microphone and friends. I was slightly let down with the lack of appearance customization as this is the only progression in the game, but the team at rare has said the game will be getting many updates and events as time goes on. I personally love playing this game and i can easily spend an entire night sailing around the seas and joking with my friends. I do wish there was a little bit more in the sense of people you can get reputation with, but the challenging parts of the game (the skeleton forts, the kraken) are somewhat rare which makes it very fun and surprising when it happens. I'm happy with this game but i believe everyone should fully do their research before purchasing this game. It is definitely not a game for everybody.… Expand

    Honestly a very fun game. If you're a person that doesn't like to choose what you do and buy games for the shooting aspect or the role-playing aspect of it than SoT might not be the best game for you. I love it because I can fight skeletons, fight other people, or just look for chests depending on what I want to do.

    An excellent coop experience with perfect cartooning pirate vibes. Sea of Thieves has been changing and constantly been receiving updates by Rare to make fans sail into the game again. Adding a story mode, multiple islands, more features and enemy factions. Without any doubt, Sea of Thieves is the best coop experience anyone can find only on the Microsoft family devices.

A game that always keeps you on edge as you never know what could quite happen, from megs to krakens from ai ships to player ships, sailing a boat has never felt more scary. Multiplayer is brilliant (being in my personal opinion the greatest factor of this game) me personally I have played weeks of this game recently and the amount of hilarious moments I have had with friends is unbelievable, easily at the moment my favourite multiplayer game. The price is also very reasonable for how good a game it is with many options £1 on game pass for a month, so u can try it out and see how good a game it is. And around £25 outright which is extremely reasonable for such a outstanding game. To summarise if you want a brilliant game with thousands of hours of content to play with friends on this is the game that will provide, the new updates have presented so many funny moments and I cannot stress enough how much of a great game this is. Easily a 10/10… Expand

    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.

    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]
