I bought this for my partner for Father's Day, it has everything he likes in it. He hasn't been able to play online yet. He said it's a good game, but takes a while to set up, and it's a long game to play. Which I guess you'll be a pro to some, and a con to others.

The game had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, during peak hours, the game tends to be full of 4 person galleons looking to grief the solo players. Spawn camping crews waiting at outposts for people to try and turn in their quests, treasures, and merchant items get mobbed, killed, and lose their...

Feedback loops are important to games. It's the experience points that keep us playing. It's the gear that keeps us hunting. And it's the story that keeps us guessing. Although Sea of Thieves lacks these crucial elements in its design, U.K.

As someone who is currently playing the alpha I can't say much others than it's good. Really good.

Great art style; Sailing feels fantastic; Laughs aplenty in co-op

Dangerously light on content; Devoid of meaningful progression; Myriad questionable design choices

Whenever I think of pirates, I think about swashbuckling adventures across the seas in search of treasure, blasting the hulls of my enemies to bits as I watch them sink to the bottom of the deep blue.

Great visuals; First few hours of discovery is great; Sailing done right

Repetition; repetition; repetition; All that gold on cosmetics upgrades; Doldrum for days; No story

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.

Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer pirate adventure game, rich with unrealised potential that isn't worth your time in its current state.

Sea Of Thieves is a great multiplayer experience… if you can play it under VERY strict and VERY specific conditions. Outside of that, well- that's when things get hairy. The game sets you up with a base character that's randomly generated- you can re-roll your appearance, but the opportunity to...

Positives + Beautiful visuals; + Solid gameplay; + The act of sailing around on the ship both looks and feels great; + When you have a group earnestly working together, the game is a great time

Negatives - Everything else; Literally; - Limited mission variety; - Zero fun when playing on your own; - Difficult to get a handle on everything that is and isn't possible to do
