    Rare is back and Sea of Thieves is a fun, enjoyable romp through "A Pirate's Life." A step in right direction for Microsoft and the much-beloved developer.

    Sea of Thieves is about a fun journey with friends. And what a fun it is ! Compared to the boring and scripted events of lets say Destiny, or the vast empty blackness of Elite:Dangerous, Sea of Thieves is a colourful, humourus journey across a fantasy sea, which is best played with 1 or more mates. The "lack of content" might be a problem for people who exspect a dense quest system andSea of Thieves is about a fun journey with friends. And what a fun it is !

So much can happen on a simple fetch quest that You better believe in pirate stories, because You are right in a swashbuckling, movie like adevnture with Sea of Thieves ! Its only boring if You are !… Expand

    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.

    Love pretty much everything about this game. Rare did a great job creating a game that feels different from the rest. People have been complaining about no progression system instead of focusing on being a skilled pirate working with their crew. Give it a chance people, its not as bad as you are making it.

    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.

    Se você tem um bom circulo de amizades na xbox live, gosta de explorar, Sea of Thieves foi feito para vocês, este jogo é feito majoritariamente para se jogar em 2 ou 4 pessoas. O mapa é bem vasto e bonito (porém achar uma ilha no mapa é algo cansativo e chato, deveriam criar um sinalizador de proximidade qdo estiver buscando a ilha no mapa). A qualidade gráfica é digna de respeito.

    Mas é importante deixar claro que até o momento, não vi uma progressão no jogo alem de itens cosméticos.
    Acredito que este jogo caberia bem uma questão do tipo Clã (ou bando) onde desta forma você cresceria junto com os demais e buscar uma forma de rankear estes jogadores para que todos conheçam quem são os piratas mais temíveis.
    Poderia haver ranks de quests conquistadas e algo para mostrar o seu históricos para seus amigos.
    O jogo precisa de mais conteúdos, principalmente voltado a quests e progressão de personagem e barcos. A Rare prometeu conteúdo ao longo do tempo, espero que este jogo não tenha um destino trágico como um Destiny 2.    … Expand

    The best thing about this game to me is the fact that it is free with the Game Pass subscription. The cartoonish graphics are cute and fit Rare LTD. Rare is finally back after their journey from Kinect games. The fighting mechanics with the guns and swords are crappy, though. Which is weird, considering Grabbed by the Ghoulies combat was executed perfectly.

    The sailing mechanic is fine and feels like you are actually on the waves. The game is best with friends with mics. If you are lonely, use the party finder on Xbox One to find people with mics.
    It feels repetitive, yes. All you do is choose from 3 types of quests to earn gold to purchase harder quests and cosmetic items. But Rare promises to update the game with more quests. This is basically a Pirate simulator. There is no overall story.    … Expand

    Mais um "joguinho do mês" mediocre. Em 2 horas de gameplay você já fez de tudo oq o jogo oferece. Monótono, fraco, apenas cosmeticos pra desbloquear. Pensamos que esse jogo seria a Redenção, mas é apenas mais uma vergonha pra RARE e Microsoft.

    This game is fun, hilarious, and beautiful to boot. There is so much potential to be had with this game. It isn't a single player game. Without people to sail the seas with the fun factor drops off a bit. I'm giving it a 10 to counter all of the ridiculous trolls and their unsubstantiated zero scores.

    This game is gorgeous. I played the alpha and beta and now retail release and can not get enough of how good this games looks and how fun it is alone and with friends. sailing the seas, finding treasure, skulsl, pigs, chickens and then avoiding or fighting other players is a blast. can't wait to see what additions are going to be added to this down the road.

    Dica: Joguem com amigos e divirtam-se!

    Its is such a fun game to play, with friend and a lot of fun if u want to free roam and grab some treasures. Its nice that the most things in game are cosmetic what makes it a fair game.

    The developer are awesome because they keep u up to date with al the bugs and how they are gonna fix it.

    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]
