Sea of Thieves Reviews
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.
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 is bursting with potential for storytelling in a watery paradise, but doesn't have enough to keep players coming back.
A uniquely open-ended online adventure with some of the best co-op of any game, but at the moment there's not nearly enough content or variety to keep it interesting for long.
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
Sailing across the open ocean becomes less of a thrilling embodiment of cooperation and more of a chore.
More than two years after its launch, Sea of Thieves has improved in countless ways.
Even in its current seemingly incomplete state, Sea of Thieves is still rewarding.
After a year or two, I think Sea of Thieves might be a complete winner. Right now, it's uneven.
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.
As it stands, it's difficult to recommend in its current state, regardless of how lovely its water looks.
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 has fresh and great ideas that work good. However, due to very repetitive missons, lack of content and bad endgame, this game turns into a tedious one after a few hours.

Sea of Thieves defies modern gaming conventions in brilliant and refreshing fashion, creating a fairly unique sandbox where you and your crew need to find your own fun. It might be in real need of more variety to the quests and activities, but Sea of Thieves' curious charms are like a siren's song that keep drawing me back for more piratical adventures on the high seas.
I am sitting cross-legged in a watchtower, praying the crew searching for me doesn't realise I'm here.
Sea of Thieves is a fascinating experience that is undermined by the lack of variety and player progression. A game that shines if played along with your buddies, but fails to engage the user if played without a group of friends.

A good effort but a shallow offer on its genre. Its success depends on the postlaunch support provided by Rare, because there's a certain degree of lack of contents on the actual game.

Jack of many trades, master of none. Sea of Thieves has a beautiful, wide ocean to explore. It's too bad that it feels about as deep as a puddle.
