    The game lacks substance. They have added a couple of updates to it now but overall it’s still pretty boring.

      Ahoy Cody,

      Thank you for a-weighing in on Sea of Thieves. The developers are hard at work on introducing new content and experiences to the game, including its biggest content update ever in celebration of Sea of Thieves' one-year anniversary. For more information on what to look forward to, go here: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2019/03/20/sea-of-thieves-anniversary-update-announcement/

      Happy plundering,

    game is fun but frustrating. many server problems and everything is too rxspensive in game from the start. rarely encounter other ships. game has potential but too much micro managing will render it unaffordable.

    Fun and relaxing adventure. Go from island to island and pvp or fight skeletons. Find buried treasure. It is a blast.

    Its fun for the first 5-10 hours maybe. They are updating the game so hopefully in a few months the game will be good.

    Great Foundation, Not Great Finish

    The game is fun and lays out a great foundation for a pirate game, but it just doesn't feel complete. Would make more sense if this game was an early access game, but it definitely does not feel like $60 worth.

    The gameplay is a bit simple, but fun. Sailing alone is good, but sailing with friends is even better. Very happy with my purchase.

    This game needs a lot of work, hopefully the developers can make some changes. This is an online game only, no single player campaign and no co-op play.

    I bought this on pre-order for my wife. It hasn't quite lived up to the hype. Lots of ganking and other non-sense can easily drain the fun out of the game. Not a lot of quest variety either.

    This was fun for about a day or two. It grew boring really fast. The gameplay loop of searching for treasure just didn't draw me in.
