Sea of Thieves Reviews
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.

Overall, aside from the few negative experiences that I have with the game so far, I find that by Rare updating the issues is a good thing and aside from the few issues that I did have with the game, it is quite enjoyable from the times that I was on the open seas. Hopefully Rare will continue to update the game and add more to it as time goes on but for now, Sea of Thieves is a great game to unleash your inner pirate and set sail on the open seas!
Sea of Thieves is an unique adventure that's best played with a group of friends. Solo players will run into repetition and boredom sooner or later. The game could use some more variability in content, but you won't care about that while playing in a well-coordinated group.

Rare’s latest game has been unshackled from beta for a few weeks now, and lately, I have been trying to pioneer the PSVG Squad into playing more and more of this game to see what it offers. Some of our team members have also played the beta version of this extensively, and so they knew what most of this game offered from the get-go. Having only played it fresh from its official release myself, I have seen a metric crap-ton of what the game has to give and am now more than happy for me to give a quick judgment for you to see right here before we dig into the gritty details.
Every time I pick up this game, I have fun, especially with friends and I cannot wait for what the future holds.
Sea of Thieves' concept is beautifully drawn up. It has exploration, intense PvP and one of the most beautiful sea adventures to ever grace gaming, but it is lacking in content and it needs more reason to keep players moving and exploring. It has plenty of space on its plate for that, but in its vanilla form there's nothing really to fill that space. I suspect that won't be the case for long, if Rare has anything to say, but that is the current case now.
A superb water park for four friends to splash around in, but progression is sluggish and there are too few surprises beneath the waves.
Permanently monotonous, but due to its unpredictability also enormously fun open-world pirate adventure with great optics.

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
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.
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.

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.
A game brimming with potential. Incredible attention to detail and the potential to create your own stories is tempered somewhat by a lack of guided content to keep players motivated.
Sea of Thieves establishes a framework for promising concepts, yet fails to deliver on its true potential.
Sea of Thieves is a game with great potential, but undermined by the lack of variety and depth. Meditative alone, fascinating and epic in multiplayer, the navigation experience provided by Rare is truly unique and brilliant. On the other hand, the extreme freedom given to the player cannot be fulfilled because of clumsy boots on the ground mechanics and quest structure far too repetitive.

During first few days Sea of Thieves feels like a brilliant pirate adventure game. Beautiful world, unique co-op mechanics, complex ship management from the first person view, great compass system without any mini-maps with marks, and battles between the players create a huge number of interesting situations. But then you begin to understand that exploration element is underdeveloped, the world is barren, and there are too few opportunities for new fresh adventures. Basic mechanics are incredibly cool and promising, so Rare needs to act fast and create new content updates and expansions.

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 is absolutely great, but great for just a few days (for four days for example). That's how long it takes to realize that there is a big problem of content that makes the game quickly ultra repetitive

Sea of Thieves has glimmers of promise and is gorgeous to look at, but single player play is virtually worthless, and the repetitive nature of the quests and empty world leave the game feeling incomplete and overpriced.
