Co-op Fun
Solo Sandbox
Lack of Content
Sea of Thieves is, overall, a disappointment. While there is some great co-op fun to be had here, there aren't enough activities to sustain this sandbox.

Critic Reviews for Sea of Thieves
Despite the lack of meaningful progression beyond cosmetics, Sea of Thieves presents an endless sea of possibilities full of exciting encounters with other players and a never-ending list of fun things to do.
A superb water park for four friends to splash around in, but progression is sluggish and there are too few surprises beneath the waves.
A limited and simplistic pirate adventure, but one with an abundance of character and a thrilling conviction in its own ideas.
Sea of Thieves is bursting with potential for storytelling in a watery paradise, but doesn't have enough to keep players coming back.
Sea of Thieves can be tedious, and it lacks a compelling progression hook, but it excels as a cooperative story generator for you and your friends
More than two years after its launch, Sea of Thieves has improved in countless ways.
Sailing across the open ocean becomes less of a thrilling embodiment of cooperation and more of a chore.
When Sea of Thieves clicks, most likely because you have a full galleon of fellow pirates to work with, it can create a rousing, fun experience whether completing a long voyage for the Gold Hoarders or even just sailing around, looking for any hidden secrets or loot.
