    Já que tem hater desocupado, invejoso e mal amado na vida dando zero sem ter jogado o game. Vou deixar o 10 mesmo tendo jogando somente a alpha do jogo. Que tem um apelo multiplayer fantástico, fator replay e um efeito de água incrível. o

    So i was really looking forward to this game... and after around 8-9 hours i realize it's the same thing.... all you do is gather chests and get loot, kill a little stronger skeleton then the normal once... There is no progression, only cosmetics. in my opinion this is what kills the game...

THIS game is not worth 60 it got to little content and, the little content there is, is just the same three things.... Don't buy it biggest waste of money.… Expand

    Five hours in and I cannot in good faith recommend anyone purchase this game unless A: you have plenty of money and consider $60 a fair price for a scant few hours of fun, B: are not concerned with a game that leaves you very little to do and almost no reason to do what little there is, and C: you don't mind the technical issues currently afflicting the game (of which there are only aFive hours in and I cannot in good faith recommend anyone purchase this game unless A: you have plenty of money and consider $60 a fair price for a scant few hours of fun, B: are not concerned with a game that leaves you very little to do and almost no reason to do what little there is, and C: you don't mind the technical issues currently afflicting the game (of which there are only a few). Sea of Thieves has no story, no competitive multiplayer, no character progression (barring cosmetics), and only very little in the way of compelling gameplay. If you read a review claiming you can do anything in this game, you have been lied to, and the same goes for the "different experience every time" BS. There are three quest vendors and about as many shops. The shops all sell cosmetics, and nothing more. The vendors offer one type of quest each, but each of those quests are essentially the exact same: sail to a small, uninteresting island, kill skeletons/capture chickens/dig, bring the thing this gives you back, get paid. Wash, rinse, repeat. That's the overwhelming bulk, and the occasional session-ending glitches, boring combat (4 weapons total), and relentless repetition, all make this one a pass at $60. I could go on--there's only one type of enemy you can fight per land/sea (sharks/skeletons), there's almost no point fighting other players on those rare occasions you do find them, etc., but I won't bore you. It's fun to sail the ships, but there are only two, and you can't upgrade them in meaningful ways, only the cosmetics. Drinking grog and firing yourself out of a canon and sailing across the sea are all honest to goodness fun, but it's not worth $60 dollars by any stretch of the imagination. I am not saying nobody can have fun on this game, just that for the majority of people this will wear off quickly as the limited nature of this game's weapons, enemies, quests, tasks, and upgrades all become harder and harder to ignore. A beautiful grind for no reason is still a grind for no reason--aesthetics aren't a strong enough pillar to make this last. Do not forget No Man's Sky, and resist the hype. Pass this one while it's at full retail price, it just isn't worth it. Pick it up at ~$30 and enjoy it for what it is.… Expand

    Launched a game with bad servers. Couldnt play the night it released and got home from work the next day and still couldnt play. 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.

    + Great water and sailing physics.

    - Boring gameplay loop. - Three factions, all give fetch quests. - Bottle riddles are also fetch quests. - PvP favors griefers, who are already out in force, spawn camping outposts. - Pointless if you aren't in a crew of at least 3; sloops are too easy targets for larger galleons.

    Where's the game? Seriously, after 3 or 4 hours you just wanna go play anything else rather than do the same crap again. Contrasted to Monster Hunter which is a grindy game also, at least the grind is fun and productive in that game.

    I predict that once the pro reviews start rolling in this will end up with about a 60 metacritic score.

    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.

    excellent game! sensational graphics, very good gameplay, finally something different and with several ways of doing the same thing. Plenty of content for a release, and logically, more news should come in the near future. A pity to see people who do not even have the game, make negative comments and want to spoil the experience of who is actually playing. I RECOMMEND ! WAIT WAS WORTH IT!

After that, you're just grinding the same three quests over and over again for gold that lets you buy mostly useless cosmetic items and two guns. Pvp is pretty lackluster and boring. All ships are essentially the same save for cosmetic items, so pvp is just a tedious contest of who runs out of resources first. Having to upgrade to win10, use the nightmare that is the Microsoft store, and spend 60$ for this grind fest is simply not worth it in any way shape or form. This should have been dropped on steam for 20$ at most.… Expand

    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.

    Game is outrageously boring after you have done everything once. It is rinse repeat and that is it. Definitely not worth $60. Overrated game that will die out in a week because there is literally nothing to do.

    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]
