    Acho desnecessário as crianças virem aqui e negativar o game porque não podem jogar. É um bom jogo, divertido para se jogar com os amigos. Celebrem a volta da RARE para a industria e não sejam pessoas chatas. Sorte a minha que eu tenho um Xbox um PS4 e um Switch, posso jogar TUDO. Beijos e sejam boas pessoas.

    What a joke this game is. How can today, a triple AAA game like this, charged full price, be delivered with no content at all? You play 30min and that's it you saw everything. Sure, it is fun with friends for a little bit, but it get repetitive SUPER fast.

    Microsoft is starting to really sink, I'm about to sell my Xbox because all I play is ps4 exclusives.

    Gorgeous game, amazingly fun, great with friend and haven’t got the slightest bid bored in all my playtime (played every beta for as long as possible since January) Rare outdid themselves. I recommend if ya have friends to play with if not I still find it fun solo but I could see how some people might not enjoy it. Not a thing I would change except maybe the Kraken fight mechanics.

    -There are no stakes in this game, no meaning to anything, and no sense of ownership over anything you have. It's a pirate themed chat room with nice water. It feels like an early prototype tech demo that belongs nowhere near store shelves.    … Expand

Its pretty shallow, overly simplistic, and the world feels empty. 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.) Overall, the state the game is in is completely inexcusable for a AAA release in 2018, most of the games systems are so archaic its a joke.    … Expand

I hope they can make the map bigger and have more islands, because they kept most of them the same from the beta testing. Glad this came out and is a great multiplayer and adventure experience.

    I had high hopes for Sea of Thieves. I'm glad that I didn't purchase this game and instead signed up for xbox game pass. The game is boring and repetitive. Going up and down on the ocean, at least on my 55 inch t.v. is not enjoyable. DON"T BUY THIS GAME! Play it on xbox game pass if you really want to try it.

    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.

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

    This game is an skeleton of a great game. The dynamics are there, the graphics are there. The environment... its just not there. 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.

As a long time RPG'er, I wanted stats, gear, meaningful character progression, things many gamers want and like in a lot of different games these days. As I kept a weary distance from Sea of Thieves, I was eventually sucked in by my insatiable love for seafaring and similar minded friends. To date we've had 30-40 hours of pure, unadulterated bliss in SoT. I rarely review things, but I knew what was happening around this game. Mainly the "next No Man's Sky," mantra being thrown around by the "1" raters... it's just not true. NMS was over hyped and under-delivered. Rare has been up front about what SoT is. The fact of the matter just is it won't please everyone. But those that are unhappy are of course !@#$'ing the bed about the fact that they paid for a game they are unhappy with, instead of being informed consumers. There is no one here to blame except themselves for making a purchase and being unhappy with it.

    As for the rest of us, we'll be sailing, and pillaging, and plundering, and swashbuckling, and having an amazing time in Sea of Thieves.

    The game is absolutely gorgeous. The art style is charming. The atmosphere captures what you expect or want out of a pure pirate-themed experience. The sailing is spot on. The combat is a little shallow, but it is tight enough to be learn-able and master-able. The navigation and looting is just a joy. I seriously can't wait to see what they have in store for this game's future.

    Thanks, Rare. I look forward to many hours of enjoyment and the future of Sea of Thieves.    … Expand

Many people complain about the lack of depth, and they definitely are on to something, but I've had nothing but fun with this game. I would recommend having at least one friend to play this game with. Playing alone is possible, but the game is easier and more enjoyable if you sail with your friends.

Speaking of sailing, that's where Sea of Thieves really shines. The sailing mechanic is just so... right. It's simple enough to get the hang of, but controlling your galleon well requires all four members to communicate and work together. Sailing the seas with my friends is some of the most fun I've had in a long time. That's not really something you can quantify in a review. In conclusion, I would 100% recommend this game, IF you have friends to play it with. It can still be fun alone, but without friends you'll quickly run out of things to do.… Expand

    A parte divertida você já conhece, é o seus amigos jogando junto com vc cada missão e se divertindo com os imprevistos em alto mar. A experiencia de jogar junto, muda completamente o jogo, chega a ser outro jogo. Você também pode jogar o game sozinho, bancar o lobo solitário e aprontar, por que não, afinal vc é quem faz a diversão, tente roubar os navios grandes por exemplo, seja um doido do mar...

    A parte complicada começa agora, um jogo frustrante depois de algumas horas. Os pontos negativos são muitos, isso não tem como negar.

    Vou citar algumas coisas que podem complicar a sua experiencia, tanto junto quanto solo.

    - Ir preso ao jogar com outros jogadores. Chato, muito chato porque é um sistema de votação e você na maior das boas intenções se entrar em uma sala errada, já era. Sugestão, tirem essa droga do jogo.

    - Jogar solo. Você contra o mundo e contra piratas que ficam te esperando só pra roubar suas caixas de tesouro. Aqui você tem que ser um rato se quiser jogar.

    -Mundo grande, porém sem muito o que fazer depois de um tempo, o jogo pode cair na mesma rotina. O que resta é atentar os outros, juntar-se uma partida e ver como tirar proveito de outra maneira no game.

    -Mapa não procedural. aqui não é um defeito, mas, ter um mapa que mudasse as ilhas prolongaria o fator busca/exploração.

    -Juntar-se ao um amigo... que sistema horroroso. Se o você escolheu ir com 3 jogadores, se o seu 4º amigo chegar 10 minutos depois, já era, tem que esperar os 3 amigos terminarem a missão, fechar a sala e começar tudo de novo. O chato é , o sistema de loot que vc juntou no barco, perde tudo e vc tem que pegar novamente ( bala de canhão, banana, madeira)

    Ainda assim, o game tem chances de mudar caso os produtores queiram, continuo acreditando em novidades vindas de tempos em tempos no game.

    This doesn't feel like a full game. It feels like a game preview. Hopefully, they will add more to it and update it all year. The price for this version of Seas of Thieves should've been $30. It's a good concept but still needs much work with it. It's fun but lacks content.

It is obvious that his game is really ment to be a social expreince with your friends. Cooperation is essential to your success and becoming a pirate legend. Though the game has voyages and an ultimate goal, nothing is stopping you from battling other pirates or taking down a skeleton fort with your crew. Sea of Thieves could definitely improve its storyline as some voyages can get a little repetitive and there is still a lot of glitches (this should be improved as the game evolves and gets updates). I would recommend picking up this game if you play online a lot with friends and are ready for the intensive grind to become a pirate legend.… Expand

    [Update: This review is based off playing both betas and ~15 hours of the retail release via Xbox Game Pass playing predominantly as 3-4 man galleon crews and as a 2 man sloop.]

All progression is cosmetic and death/destruction carries little    [Update: This review is based off playing both betas and ~15 hours of the retail release via Xbox Game Pass playing predominantly as 3-4 man galleon crews and as a 2 man sloop.]

    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

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

    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

Underneath this shiny coat of paint is nothing. The world itself looks fantastic, but nothing about it feels fleshed out.

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

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.

    Sea of Thieves in it's current state feels like an early access and to charge people 60US$ is insane for what you actually get. There is a huge lack of content and the content in the game feels to much the same. It's getting repetitive and boring fast as all three factions give missions that are similar. Take quest, go to island A, get what you need, get back. And when you progress that faction you get another "trickier" quest. Take the quest, solve a clue, go to island A, go to island B, get back... ZzZzZz

    Don't get me wrong though. The core in this game as of graphics and mechanics are awesome and with more content, the right content, this game has the potential to be really awesome and fun co-op experience. One could just hope they have much content in the loop for the near feature. If not, the game might be dead before even reaching it's full potential.

    I'm also really tired of games that comes out lacking content with the promise to build as they go... Can we just get what we pay for for once? 60US$ should be a content rich game, not just a platform that in the future will expand.    … Expand

I agree with almost every other sensible review that isn't blind Xbox fan-boy praise or people angry its not Eve online pirate edition that this game is beautiful, but does not have a lot going on. I kind of knew this when I got the game, but to put it bluntly; the game is TOO SIMPLE. There is NO progression except cosmetics or systems for crafting or gathering meaningful resources and honestly thats crippling. It means as soon as the gameplay gets even a little stale you lose all reason to play it. That being said, the game that is there is entertaining for about 10 hours. In that time you have probably seen every mission type the game has to offer a few times and with the lack of a real progression system, probably grown tired of them and their underwhelming rewards. Speaking of, about 90% of the time in the first 2 days of play, the rewards will sometimes take upwards of a half hour to appear in your coin purse and your reputation bars will stay stagnant untill you restart the game a lot of the time.

    That being said, once you get done with the mediocre PvE offerings, whats left. Well the PvP... exists and its not that bad. The ship piloting controls feel realistically weighty and shouting orders to your friends is really fun in the heat of battle when you know all of your stuff is on the line. These things make the PvP fun, what doesn't make it fun is the god awful melee combat. Its clunky and awkward and to be honest, I am convinced there is some kind of hidden stamina system as it seems my character randomly stops swinging for no reason. Most games have bars for this or symbols or something. This extends to the PvE as well but it is way more noticeable in the PvP.

    So I have kinda roasted this game a lot, but one thing I will say is it is fun with friends. Its buggy enough to laugh at and gives you a fun enough sandbox to screw around with while you scream pirate themed slurs at your enemies while you spew grog on your imprisoned friends. If you look at it with a bit of imagination it is really quite fun, but so is almost any other game. This is $30 worth of game at maximum. Pick it up on sale.

    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

    Incredible how they managed to remove the excessive UI that we see in all other games, from the compass to the map, all is there for anybody to interact with without menus and stuff. The sea water is as pretty as it could be, and the different ways to find your treasure makes the voyages way more diverse.

Even the cosmetic items are extremely sparse. There's literally only like 2 pages of items you can get. This is in a game where cosmetics are the only form of progression! I think they focused their efforts on creating a visually stunning world rather than creating actual things to do.

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.

    The basic ship mechanics are smooth and enjoyable, but that is about all there is to this game. The content is amazingly sparse, with only 3 fetch quest type missions available:

    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

    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]
