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 is a nice addition to the PlayStation multiplayer game catalogue around the world. The game itself will benefit from an increase in the user base and more interested in Rare's multiplayer proposition. Although it never delves into any aspect of what it proposes and is not an unpleasant experience for the solo player, the magic of cooperative and the freedom to enjoy the game without too much commitment are the great attractions in a new world of piracy.

Sea of Thieves has grown into one of the more beloved live service titles over the years and it's well-deserved, offering a gorgeous and engaging pirate fantasy.
Sea of Thieves can be whatever the player wants, which is part of the game's magic.
Sea of Thieves on PS5 is another great way to play a good multiplayer game. There's a lot more content now than at launch, with tons of things to do either solo or with a crew. With cross-play and save, a wealth of convenience options, and even more coming down the pirate pipeline, this may be the perfect time to brave the Sea of Thieves.
Rare charted its course, and created a true treasure in Sea of Thieves. Its only lows found in solo gameplay, and its one dimensional melee combat. It is the king of emergent gameplay, and boasts a timeless aesthetic. With other issues such as the tedious downtime fixed, and a great many quality of life and accessibility changes, through years of dedication and continued support, Sea of Thieves is the best game as a service on the market.
Even after six years, Sea Of Thieves remains a great time with friends, and now, with the PlayStation 5 port, even more friends can join in the hilariously fun high sea adventures.
The ocean may seem like an immeasurable beast for new pirates, but once players spend enough time to get their bearings, the beast becomes less scary and more adventurous. Still, if players are not entertained by Sea of Thieves gameplay loop and cosmetic-only unlockables, Rare's pirate life may not be for them. For everyone else, including PS5 owners, there is more Sea of Thieves booty and timbers to shiver.
Not all treasures are made of gold and silver. Sea of Thieves lands on PlayStation 5 proving once again that this co-op pirate adventure is that experience that many seek, but few find. It's not a perfect game, but I wish everyone could get on board with this boat.

Sea of Thieves is a blast when playing with friends. With its focus on cosmetic customisation, we slipped into the pirate's life with ease – even after six years of updates and seasonal changes. Its natural and immersive approach to navigation makes it a seafaring sandbox well worth visiting, and a focus on cosmetics over high-tier loot make it a game you can play at your own pace. It's a delight to steadily come to grips with the mechanics of the game too, whether that be how to outmanoeuvre enemy ships or sell your loot with quickened efficiency. It might not have the same level of grind that a lot of players look for in a live service game, but there's endless pirate fun to be had here, and we're glad that PlayStation players finally have the opportunity to join in on the swashbuckling chaos.
Sea of Thieves genuinely attempts to appeal to a wide audience with its cartoonish charm, fun music, humor, and skillful naval combat; distinguishing itself as one of the best casual action games out there.
More than two years after its launch, Sea of Thieves has improved in countless ways.
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.
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.
Sea of Thieves has managed to successfully steer a course through turbulent waters during its first two years. Its once somewhat sterile and empty world is now full to bursting point with activities and distractions and it's got a sense of direction and purpose which mean players don't need to work nearly as hard to find ways in which to indulge their inner Black Beard. Tall Tales provide a properly meaty, narrative-driven campaign that works equally as well for solo players as it does for eager crews of four and that once empty horizon is now full of things to see and do as you make your way from the lowliest bilge rat to a pirate of legend.
I don't exactly know what is different between current Sea of Thieves and day one Sea of Thieves, but the issues I have with the current version of this game are similar to the ones other had back in early 2018. The missions are dull, money is meaningless, and any positive experience with this game feels fleeting.
