I've been an exclusive PS4 player for decades, but I decided to give the xbox a try, and I'm glad I did. Most of the titles are the same between the systems, but I like the difference between the interfaces.

If you asked me five years ago if I thought that Microsoft would be backing a pirate-themed, co-op focused, shared world adventure game as one of their high-profile exclusives I'd have said "you are crazy.

In its current state, Sea of Thieves comes off as a boring and meaningless. It's astonishing how void of content it actually is. Absolutely beautiful to look at but completely underdeveloped as a game. In comparison, Pirates!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me hearties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me hearties, yo ho. I'm not sure this applies to me.

Visually breathtaking world; Great ship mechanics; Fun with friends

Repetitive quests; Lackluster progression system; Limited things to do
