Sea of Thieves Reviews
I am sitting cross-legged in a watchtower, praying the crew searching for me doesn't realise I'm here.
Sea of thieves is one of a kind, a very rare game that will be a sea of joy for ones, and a strange and empty game, that lack some of the basics of modern games. For me is a total success, that has filled my hours with plenty of unforgettable moments.

In this moment, it is difficult to rate Sea of Thieves with a higher valuation than it has, and instead I think it is the most important game so far this year, due to its values, playable proposal and what it represents. I am aware that this contrast can be difficult to understand, especially if the game has not yet been tested. For this reason, I simply encourage you to try what Sea of Thieves has in store for you before judging.

Sea of Thieves is a game you won't forget. Wonderful to see, amazing to listen to, unique in a group and decidedly particular on their own, Rare's pirate adventure is a thunderous experiment built by combining all the typical defects of the genre to transform them into a single extraordinary virtue. It is not a game for everyone, certainly not for those who want to feel invincible and the only vain protagonist, but it is a work that has all the credentials to become something precious.

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 is bursting with potential for storytelling in a watery paradise, but doesn't have enough to keep players coming back.
Sea of Thieves shines the most when playing with friends. The gameplay is both fun and accessible, and the technical aspects of the game are truly wonderful, but everything is weighed down by the lack of more contents and of greater variety

Sea of Thieves is the perfect framing device for nautical adventure that rewards a committed group of young-at-heart, social pirates to find and evoke the fun from its sandbox. Unfortunately, that gorgeous world has questionable systems and content limits that (if not dealt with) scupper its incredible potential and give it a worrying sell-by-date.
After a year or two, I think Sea of Thieves might be a complete winner. Right now, it's uneven.
Having fun in Sea of Thieves is a slow burn at the moment. Most of the game involves you just chilling on your ship while looking for other pirates to steal from, or for the raids to start.
Sea of Thieves truly is the ultimate pirate fantasy and adventure, it does however really come down to how much you like the core gameplay.
Sea of Thieves' world isn't completely lacking in achievement, thanks to its luscious visuals and excellent sailing mechanics, but it feels completely undercooked in terms of actual gameplay. Perhaps ironically, Sea of Thieves feels like the skeleton of a game rather than a fully realized experience. Rare promises that more content is coming, but judging on what the game offers now, it's a journey not worth taking—at least not yet.
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.
A superb water park for four friends to splash around in, but progression is sluggish and there are too few surprises beneath the waves.
The foundation is great. The fundamentals are there. It doesn't take much imagination to see how this game could blossom into something magnificent. But so long as it's missing long-term depth and incentives to stick around past the first few weeks, Sea of Thieves will feel like a missed opportunity.
With Rare having spent the majority of the last decade more closely associated with the Kinect Sports franchise than the whimsical and inventive likes of its earlier years, Sea of Thieves feels like a return to form. It's packed with the studio's trademark charm and humour, while providing endless opportunities for adventure.
Your path in Sea of Thieves is yours to make. The game is not for everyone, but you can't deny the potential for fun and adventure in Sea of Thieves. Despite some setbacks with trolling players and endgame content, I find myself wanting to play more and more of Sea of Thieves.
Sea of Thieves teases you with this largely unexplored ocean until you realize there's not much out there.
Rare unquestionably need to apply new meat to these beautiful bones. I've enjoyed the ambience of Sea of Thieves so much that I want it to be something that stays in my life for a long time to come, but, in its current state, I know that is impossible.
Rare's pirate simulation is a blissfully uncomplicated blast, but you'll need a close crew of friends to make the most of it
