Customers love the charming and fun gameplay of Sea of Thieves, especially the sailing and impressive water effects. Many find the open world and the ability to play with others to be key strengths, although some wish for more content and improved solo play options.

    I'm still learning the game but my initial impression is fantastic. It's a visually stunning game with all kinds of stuff to do. I'm just scratching the surface and excited to see what all happens.

      Ahoy there,

      Glad to hear that you're having a fantastic time sailing the seven seas as a pirate in Sea of Thieves. Hope to see you and yer mateys dropping anchor soon.

      Happy plundering!

    I've only had this game for a day or two, and I wasn't even able to play past the character selection screen because of server issues. Point is, take my review with a grain of salt. Despite server issues, I'm excited for the game. Why? Because there aren't many exclusives left for Xbox. Not to mention, there's not many pirate-themed games out there.

    Great fun. You do have to have Xbox Gold to play it so if you don't then don't get it. You can play alone or with others. We haven't gotten very far with it yet so looking forward to playing more!

    Our son's best friend has this game, and they have enjoyed playing it with him and running a pirate ship together. I do wish it was a little more friendly for all ages, but haven't seen anything too objectionable yet. It's not our kids' favorite game, but they enjoy it.

    SoT is entertaining but there are still issues with the servers and gameplay. There's a need for a "kick player" option along with the brig, as well as, an advanced options menu (i.e. headphones, platform selection, skill level, gameplay focus, etc.). I would highly recommend playing with friends with good communication for the best experience.

    This is a very fun game if you are playing with friends for about 2 hours. Then the game is dull. This is another AAA game that was released to soon. I would say its 10% done. There is a lot of work to be done to make this game last longer then a week. But it could be done.
