    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.

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 !

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

There are only three types of quests, and all are extremely repetetive. Also disappointing is the lack of PvP safeguards. The player base us largely divided into casual players and aggressive griefers, and the developers have done nothing to enhance the experience of the former. The game desperately needs a player behavior monitor such as that in GTA, where aggressive power players are only matched with other such types, so more casual players don't get fed up. All in all the game is built on solid physics and a good premise, but ultimately fails to deliver any lasting enjoyment. Expand

    A fun first-person pirate experience. Jump in your ship with your friends and collect all the loot you can carry, fire yourself from a cannon toward an enemy ship and try to sink them. Sea of Thieves delivers a lot of fun but can become stale, keep an eye out for new content being added to make the experience longer lasting.

    Sea of Thieves is a fun game that looks amazing. Sailing around with friends is a charming and amazing experience. However it doesn't take long to do everything there is to do and it can be repetitive and most of the fun depends on who you are playing with.

    I've played the game since before it released and it is currently the worst it has ever been.

    The community is toxic and never cooperate, which means you can't enjoy most of the games content.

    My dream game come to life. Ever since other Pirate games like Assassin's Creed Black Flag have come out, I've always wanted an open world multiplayer pirate game. The game is by no means perfect, as the game is a repetitive grind fest and the game could use some more content. Although if you can look past that, as I have, you'll see a fun, laid-back game that you and your friends can playMy dream game come to life. Ever since other Pirate games like Assassin's Creed Black Flag have come out, I've always wanted an open world multiplayer pirate game. The game is by no means perfect, as the game is a repetitive grind fest and the game could use some more content. Although if you can look past that, as I have, you'll see a fun, laid-back game that you and your friends can play for hours. The proximity voice chat is also implemented well and I've had hours of fun talking with randoms.

    If you're looking to (buy/interested in) this game, but not quite sure, here's a list of things to consider:

    1. This game is on the Windows 10 PC store and is fully crossplay (Even allowing parties on the Xbox app) but you WILL need an Xbox live gold membership so keep that in mind. (I was skeptical being a PC/Nintendo gamer myself) The crossplay is flawless though, and graphics on PC look spectacular and controls nicely. I would definitely recommend the PC version despite only being available on the infamous Windows 10 store.
    2. This game is grindy, meaning you'll spend a lot of time doing what feels like the same quest over and over. This makes the single player feel empty unless you're actively teaming up with other ships. If you like playing alone or you don't have a lot of friends with this game, this might be a deal breaker.
    3. At the time of writing this review, all upgrades are cosmetic. Plans for ship upgrades have been hinted at, however. (This full price game has no game-altering micro-transactions and has no plans for them, no need to worry)
    4. Besides other players, the NPC enemies are a bit lacking, they're only skeletons and their different variations (Shadow, leaf, gold, etc) and sharks in the ocean. If you're not a fan of PVP this might be a deal breaker.
    5. For those of you who are in for the PVP, some players take it upon themselves to hunt you down no matter what. This isn't the problem with the game itself but it's worth mentioning. It might get a tad frustrating to assert your dominance over a group of troublesome pirates that reap no rewards.

    And finally, the purchase price. This game is a full price $60 game, but its current content makes it feel like less. If the price is throwing you off, this game is available on Microsoft's new service, "Game pass."
    This game is 100% free with this $10 monthly service, there's even a 14 free trial for those wanting to demo the game before purchase. This makes the lacking content feel more justified and I strongly recommend anyone interested to use Game pass instead of a full purchase.

    This game is gorgeous, controls well, has an alright community, has flawless crossplay, and is a blast with friends. If all of this sounds fun I'd definitely recommend, despite its various flaws.

    Sea of Thieves is a shared world action-adventure video game developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Studios for Microsoft Windows 10 and Xbox One.

    in the game you take the on the role of pirate and must sail the seven seas in order to become a pirate legend, you can either sail alone or with a crew of up to 4 people, you can join a game or host with friends or buddy up with strangers and see how you manage.

    you each have a role to play in order to succeed in your voyage, whether it be finding buried treasure, or taking loot from a skeleton fort.

    the gold you earn for complete these voyages can be spent in a variety of different ways, such as customising the look of your pirate, or your ship, you can also buy different weapons. The four usable weapons are a flintlock, a blunderbuss, a long rifle, and a sword. a maximum of Two weapons can be carried at once.

    the game is very fun to play with co op and even by yourself, but if you play it alone it can get very stressful as its a one man crew, so i recommend playing with some friends

    Graphics

    the graphics are beautiful with some breathtaking views with lots of colour to the landscape. the only downside to the game is the lack of content which if you payed full price of £40 can feel like a waste of money when other games such as far cry 5 are out at the moment. when the game gets more content added i will jump right back in to the action.

    but if you bought xbox game pass then this game is a lot of fun. and definitely give it a try if you haven’t already

Last week we set sail with 3 of us on a Galleon (under manned) and we knew we couldn't get into a fight. We ended up getting chased by another Galleon and in the distance we spotted a Sloop. We decided to sail towards the Sloop and hope that the Galleon chasing us would take the easy bait. We laughed our butts off seeing this poor Sloop get hammered by the Galleon chasing us and we continued our treasure hunts after that.

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.

Charging $60 for a game without a campaign is a scam.

    This game is online only. So once the developers decide to switch off the servers, this game will end up in the trash can. You can get this game for less than $40 now, but I can't even recommend this game for $1. This should be a free-to-play game.

Most people complaining about lack of content either never played or if they did don't even know how to use the dodge move. This game doesn't hold your hand and the low reviews are from Sony fanboys or people who spent 4-5 hours in the game (basically a tutorial) and thought that's all there is. Try taking on a 4-man galleon all my yourself, until you can intimidate that kind of crew all alone then you haven't even started to know how to play this game. If you're still sailing around in your brown non-painted ship with white cloth as sails, it shows you have not experienced the game enough but when you're rolling up in a painted ship with an actual flag then you have the right to say this game has little content if you wish.

Sea of Thieves has so many moments of joy and realisation that I can't help coming back to the game after a real-life intervention. The cartoonishly low-detail style of the game results in an amazing visual fidelity reserved for lighting and *gasp* water effects achieved on both the XBONE and PC, and as a bit of an artist I can appreciate what they've done in terms of graphics.
    However, I understand that this is a game with faults, and hate to say that Rare have made quite a few. I played the open beta, I understand all the nuances with the boating system but can easily see why people are frustrated. There is no tutorial outside of the cryptic tips given during the loading screens, and for all Rare have put into making this system feel good they've completely skimped on an explanation. Sure new players can search it up, but when they're using Xbox Game Pass, why even bother when you can move onto the next game?
    Aside from that, I think Sea of Thieves is worth picking up if you are whiling to pick up some skills on the fly, and the visual fidelity as well as ease of basic mechanics such as movement and questing are great. While there aren't a crazy amount of different quests, there sure are a ton of ways to earn money and unlock sweet loot, so I'm pleased with what there right now. I thought I'd just add that I played a good amount with friends and also myself, and even when I was captaining a sloop the experience never got lonely whether it be by way of chickens or other inquisitive pirates.
    So would I recommend this game?

    Well... If they wanted the biggest disappointment award, they earned it for sure. The game itself gets boring after maybe 10-20 hours and since the game is full price, it's almost outrageously bad for the price.

    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]
