Sea of Thieves is a first-person multiplayer action-adventure game in which players take on the role of pirates exploring an open world ocean. Crews of one to four players operate sloop, brigantine, or galleon ships cooperatively, completing voyages for various trading companies, hunting for treasure, battling skeleton forts, and encountering other player crews who may form alliances or attack. The game features a cosmetics-only progression system, meaning all players have equal gameplay capabilities regardless of experience level.
Not all treasures are made of gold and silver. Sea of Thieves lands on PlayStation 5 proving once again that this co-op pirate adventure is that experience that many seek, but few find. It's not a perfect game, but I wish everyone could get on board with this boat.
More than two years after its launch, Sea of Thieves has improved in countless ways.
Despite the lack of meaningful progression beyond cosmetics, Sea of Thieves presents an endless sea of possibilities full of exciting encounters with other players and a never-ending list of fun things to do.
Even in its current seemingly incomplete state, Sea of Thieves is still rewarding.
Sea of Thieves is a mixed bag of emotions for me. It's a great social experience to play with a group of friends and sail on the prettiest water you will ever see in a video game. It's also bogged down by tedious and repetitive voyages that reward you with meager pay. When you can eventually purchase an item, it will only affect how you look. If that...
