Really funny co-op game set in age of pirates. Its not for everyone, but if you want relax on the high seas, drink beer and fight the kraken, it's for you.

Sea of Thieves offers a lackluster voyage past the first few hours, and feels incomplete. However, there is some fun to be had when the game works well as a social sandbox. There's plenty of unrealized potential here, as it's evident that the foundation is there for Rare to build upon in the months to come.
This game was not ready for release, it was not ready to be played by the masses, and it most certainly is not worth the $60 price tag.
I am sure we can find the rest of the game buried underneath the sand on one of the islands. Even if Rare promises to support the game further down the road, I can't recommend Sea of Thieves to anyone right now.

This game definitely needs to play with a friend. It can be difficult and boring from time to time if you play it alone. I like single-player games. I don't like playing online games, especially games that require communication via microphone. Despite this problem, when my friends are offline, I always want to play with people I don't know. Because I want to play this game. Sea of Thieves that effective on me. Like I said, Sea of Thieves is definitely a video game that I recommend. I would like to thank Rare and Microsoft teams for producing such a video game.

Sea of Thieves might have a great idea for a pirates world game but not the best execution. The game feels like an open beta and missing a lot of things to compete with other online based games. At this time, I’d recommend to ignore it until more issues get fixed and the experience becomes better.

Sea of Thieves offers a very unique experience by putting players in the role of pirates and throwing them out in a massive, detailed world. Team-up with a few friends and you'll enjoy every second of your time.

I hate to say that this game left me feeling utterly disappointed. It was fun when you experience everything for the first time, but the novelty wears off way too quickly as the game feels very incomplete. It has so many things that should have made it amazing. You can literally see and feel the aspects that make the game work as well as what could have made people wanting more. But sadly, it lacks so much to the point where it feels like Microsoft forced Rare to rush the game right out of the door in the hopes that what it currently has is good enough to make quick sales. All that potential wasted like a beautiful galleon sinking to its watery grave. If in the future there are patches that will give this game more content, then that’s all well and good. But for now? This game can only be described as “What could have been.”
Sea of Thieves, over the years, has come a long way — from a game that was mocked to a quite solid title. Although many already made up their minds and saw the game as a lost cause, the developers didn't give up and over the years, they improved their creation, making it an irreplaceable title. This is a game that bets on enormous freedom, which not everyone might appreciate. However, if you're looking for good fun for hundreds of hours, especially with a well-coordinated team, give the game a chance because it's definitely worth it. We still have many years of support ahead through subsequent seasons and updates. On the Sea of Thieves, it's never boring.

Sea of Thieves is an adventure that excels at capturing the spirit of piracy with its remarkably inspired graphics, compelling gameplay, and vibrant community. Although its minimalist progression systems and occasional repetitiveness may deter some players, the sense of exploration, camaraderie and discovery makes up for its shortcomings. Whether you are an experienced buccaneer or a budding sailor looking for adventure, Sea of Thieves offers a veritable paradise for aspiring pirates. Regardless of the platform, whether PS5, Xbox or PC, Sea of Thieves of 2024 has a lot to offer, thanks to an immediate experience free of any obligation to have to improve skills and level up. Unfortunately, the game does not - in our opinion - yet have the depth and variety needed to keep players engaged over the long haul, but rest assured that in the time you devote to SOT, you will laugh out loud, sail around enjoying the sea and drink grog until you're sick. Ahoy!

Sea of Thieves can be whatever the player wants, which is part of the game's magic.
Rare, one of the most established developer teams in the video game world, appeared before the players with a real game that stood on the ground after a long time. The team, which mainly developed Kinect games for Microsoft in the Xbox 360 era, wants to give players a very different experience in the new generation. I say different because Sea of Thieves really stands before us as a game like no other.

Sea of Thieves isn’t for everyone. After all, neither was the life of a Pirate. But if you have the time, the friends and the heart to take it on, it can reward you not just with treasure and glory, but with memories that will stay with you, long after your Pirate Legend has faded into myth.
In a year that is going to be rather dry in terms of exclusive games, Microsoft certainly have a unique, yet barren, gem with Sea of Thieves. Once Rare addresses the content issues, however, the game will offer a sublime time where gamers can sail the seas with a tankard in one hand, cutlass in the other, and a map pinned to the back of the nearest barrel of grog; ready for further adventure.
While the first few weeks were rough seas, the now smooth online experience will hold nothing in store for you but more laughs than a barrel of bananas.
I could go on all day about the things I enjoy in Sea of Thieves, and even the things that get my blood boiling, but, suffice to say, I’m happy the game is as good as it is even with such a long journey ahead of it. As future months of content begin showing up, from new AI threats, to what sounds like another ship type, more mission types and even weekly events, I’m fully committed to updating this review to reflect the changes. I’m hoping Sea of Thieves hangs around for a while to come and continues to shine as bright as the golden age of piracy it calls home. Weigh anchor, set the sails! All aboard for adventure and for booty!
Sea of Thieves is a fun game that feels incomplete. It succeeds in delivering a vast and polished pirate sandbox to enjoy with your friends, but its appeal wears thin due to a lack of content. Without an overarching narrative or any kind of player progression beyond earning better quests that offer more gold for skins, there's little reason to come back to Sea of Thieves outside of having fun with a group of friends.
Every time I pick up this game, I have fun, especially with friends and I cannot wait for what the future holds.
