  • The most beautiful video game sea you'll ever see, Emergent storytelling at its greatest
  • Far too many fetch quests, Other people are the worst
  • 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 is great fun, and there's not much else like it available at the moment. Crewing up and sailing around searching for treasure and getting into epic sea battles is yet to get tiresome, and with a large variety of Voyages to undertake and ran...

  • There's a lot more we've yet to see from Sea of Thieves, and the core loop of finding treasure, carrying treasure, and selling treasure needs plenty around it to keep things interesting. But so far, Rare's proven it has a solid foundation in mechanics, gr...

  • I had a lot of childish fun with Sea of Thieves. It's a game that needs to be played to be understood and to speculate about its potential. Rare is an iconic developer for a reason, and has always been capable of building incredibly rich worlds. It's one...

  • Abstract:  We're often told by veteran designers that the best game stories are the ones told, and experienced, by the players themselves. The little moments of personal drama, victory or tragedy that happen to you and only you while exploring a world, can be more m...

  • Abstract:  The crew are below deck when the battle starts. Unbeknown to them, another galleon has drawn up alongside and is now pummelling their ship with cannon fire. They know they should race up and into their battle positions, they know this is the only way to d...

  • Can be brilliant fun, Stunning cartoon visuals, Loads of potential
  • Quests are repetitious, Some ideas aren't fully fleshed out, Needs more content
  • Embedded video I wish I could do nothing but play Sea of Thieves all day. The single 15 minute demo alone was enough to get me hooked, and it's clear that it barely scratches the tip of the iceberg. The beauty in what Rare appears to have created, is pr...
