    Very shallow game. I played all betas and there was some fun at first when mechanics was new. Ships and map orienteering done well. But after you find out that there are very few types of quests (and all of them was in betas), no interesting character progression and mechanics (especially fighting) are shallow at best, you are getting tired from this game's routine very quickly.

    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.

    Game has a nice art style. That's about all I like. The guns and combat feel wonky, and were not the focus. Ships sail okay, but this isn't getting high marks for making it more difficult to control a ship - you'd be better off playing assassin's creed 4. There might have been some fun buried in this game that was probably easy to get to when you didn't have a bunch of 18 year oldsGame has a nice art style. That's about all I like.

There might have been some fun buried in this game that was probably easy to get to when you didn't have a bunch of 18 year olds running around griefing you in your ship for an hour after they took your loot, but that's pretty much the size of this. Avoid this at all costs.… 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.

    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]
