That may well be one of the most underrated games in recent years. I like to rate games based solely on how much fun I have vs price (how long I have fun vs price and how intense the fun is). I don't care about numbers. Content, graphics, etc. If it's fun, it's fun. Well, I rarely had moments in a game as intense as when I'm with two friends sailing a galleon full of chests trying to turn them to an outpost during an impressive storm. Or when I'm alone on my sloop on a quest, and I see a docked galleon on a quest island, and I try to sneak into the boat to steal their treasures or sabotage their ship while the equipage is away! People seem to miss the point of the game (which I would have missed too haven't I bought the game before reading all hating comments). The quests aren't the point. The point is to RETURN the treasures safely. Try having 4-5 or more treasures in your boat, and then try to turn them in while trying to avoid other ships, or if you're chased by a well manned sloop and your heart beats the drums because you know you're the one who has more to loose. This is a cat and mouse game on boats, where the more treasures you're carrying influence how yourself and others behave. Missing content? Yeah of course it could be better (and it will). Overpriced? Maybe from a marketing perspective. But this game brings an experience no other game ever delivered. That is well worth an 8. What I read everywhere is "there's no progression that's crap!". It's like a game can't be fun without it. Well. As stated above, I rate games based on fun I have with it. No progression? That's a fact. Is it fun anyway? Yes it is. The reason I don't give more than 8 is because of this lack of content and that the little progression there is is too slow. But the experience in itself counterbalances those drawbacks and brings the note up to a well deserved 8. There's magic in this game. It's been a long time since I felt that kind of magic in a game.
I've used the 14 day Trial to test the game but after 2 days I've already uninstalled it. There is no Long time Motivation because the quests repeat every time with only little variations. PVP is an epic fail! Short fun ... Read Full Review
While Sea of Thieves is definetely no Pirates of Ark Survival or 7 Days to Pirate, the game doesnt really care. Here you’ll find no strongholds with impenetrable defenses, full over level players who enjoy making a serve... Read Full Review
