The closest I'll ever get to living out my pirate fantasies.

I LOVE Sea of Thieves. I love playing it by myself, I love playing it with friends! If you want a in-depth, well-rounded, complete Pirate Life experience, this game is IT. Want to look for treasure? Its got it. Want to sword fight enemy pirates and skeletons? Its got that. Want to captain your own ship? Its got those. Want …

I LOVE Sea of Thieves. I love playing it by myself, I love playing it with friends! If you want a in-depth, well-rounded, complete Pirate Life experience, this game is IT. Want to look for treasure? Its got it. Want to sword fight enemy pirates and skeletons? Its got that. Want to captain your own ship? Its got those. Want to get in fast-paced sea battles with other ships? You can do that! Want to sink enemy ships and plunder all their booty?! With enough skill, you can!!!

This game is so incredibly in-depth with all of the pirate things you can do and it is EASILY my go to when I'm feeling like sailing the seven seas.

I will say though, it can be pretty easy to get burnt out especially if you're playing by yourself, and you HAVE to expect to get your butt kicked a LOT. I have almost 50 hours and I still get my ass handed to me in most encounters hehe. And it can be kind of demotivating when you spend a few hours getting a lot of treasure just to get sunk by a better player, and get all of your stuff stolen. There ARE reasons to dislike this game, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars, and not 5. But I still enjoy this game a lot, and would recommend pirate enthusiasts to at least try it once. (If you don't want to buy it straightup you can always try it with the xbox game pass!)

Pretty Much good game to be chill, lower the stress by sailing across the beautiful ocean, sailing to the beautiful islands and awesome PVE combats. but I swear, that chill won't be so long, when if other players attack and plunder all hard made loot. Of course It is very fun PVP, but there will be no fun when your …

Pretty Much good game to be chill, lower the stress by sailing across the beautiful ocean, sailing to the beautiful islands and awesome PVE combats. but I swear, that chill won't be so long, when if other players attack and plunder all hard made loot. Of course It is very fun PVP, but there will be no fun when your ship sank with all your hours of hard made loot, with it. And one thing I learned so recently is to be careful when being alliance with other players, me and my friend alliance with random players to play a event and after the event is done they destroyed our ship and killed us!) lol xD

Anyway it is a very good game and really very fun when playing with friends :)

I don't recommend this to solo playing, It will always end up with your ship sunk to bottom of the deep sea when you met other players....)

Escapism

I can see why Sea of Thieves wasn’t received well at launch. The progression system is simple. Most of the islands are relatively empty. There are no upgrades beyond purely cosmetic flairs. But this is why I like Sea of Thieves so much. It’s a very cozy, very pretty game of Playing Pirates with Your Friends. There’s no pressure to …

I can see why Sea of Thieves wasn’t received well at launch. The progression system is simple. Most of the islands are relatively empty. There are no upgrades beyond purely cosmetic flairs. But this is why I like Sea of Thieves so much. It’s a very cozy, very pretty game of Playing Pirates with Your Friends. There’s no pressure to be min-maxing, or to get the best out of anything. It’s much more about feeling the dip and sway of your ship as it travels over choppy whitecaps. Watching a hazy sunset on a deserted cay while your friends sit around a campfire, singing sea shanties. Pure escapism. In 2021, it was a very welcome one.

Only one complaint.

I recently got sea of thieves and I've gotta say- I'm in love with the game. Obviously the graphics aren't trying to be the new best, but rather cartoon like and will stand the test of time. Everything in the game is just incredible, and I've found myself addicted to it. Though, there is one complaint that I have: PVP. …

I recently got sea of thieves and I've gotta say- I'm in love with the game. Obviously the graphics aren't trying to be the new best, but rather cartoon like and will stand the test of time. Everything in the game is just incredible, and I've found myself addicted to it. Though, there is one complaint that I have: PVP.

I've found that nearly every player you see- wether your lights are on or off, if you have a flag or not, or if you even did anything yet or not- chances are if you find a player they will attack you. Of course, this is what to expect when playing one of these games, and having it included adds to the fun of the game. However, I really hope that they add in a feature to disable pvp, or to host private servers. It is especially helpful when trying to teach someone how to play the game for the first time. Other then that, one of the best games I've ever played.
