    This game is so much fun. I love being able to sail as a pirate, little light on content and missions can get repetitive, but if you can make your own fun you’ll never get tired of it!

    I love how great the feeling of the ocean and sailing your ship is. This is captured to perfection in my opinion. My problem with this game is the lack of content. There isn’t very much to do and there is no progression. Without friends I would have a hard time recommending this. With friends there is fun to be had.

    It is an alright games, I wish they gave you a small tutorial before starting the games, I was super confused and didn't know what to do. Even when playing it is confusing on what to do and where to go. BUT it is very beautiful and the sailing is enjoyable. Wish there where more models to choose from.

    It’s a very cool game and the mechanics work. The graphics are not the greatest but it has a style of its own and is very good. The game is fun and if you liked pirates of the Caribbean you will probably really enjoy this game. I like the game it’s fun and is bestbwith freinds

    Got this game with a friend so we could play something together on the Xbox. Game is fun, but there isn't a real RPG feel to it. All upgrades are cosmetic and the gameplay gets very repetitive. I would recommend it if you want to chat wit your buddies while running around in an open world.

    I bought this game for my 16 year old as a gift for his birthday . . . he was looking for something different and has played it for 4 days straight after getting home from school. Though he is still learning it, he says it is really good so far. I tried to watch some of his sailing in very rough seas and the ship was taking on water . . . someone else in the group was having to bail buckets of water out of the ship. It seemed like they were having fun, but I actually felt a bit sea sick and that very strange feeling to have sitting in my own family room.

      Hey there,

      What a great gift for your son! We're glad that he's been so busy sailing the (choppy) seven seas since you got it for him. The water effects are pretty realistic, though, so it's no wonder you felt seasick!

      Happy gaming,

    Sea of Thieves is the pirate game I've waited my entire life for. Complete freedom to sail the high seas and look for treasure, fight skeletons, sink other pirate ships, and even fight a kraken! You won't regret picking this up, it's the best Xbox One exclusive on the market.

    This is a weird one. It is worth it but only if you have a group of friends that can play it with you on the regular. Playing this game solo can be boring at times. Hopefully they will add stuff in the future to improve the solo players experience but until then stay away.

    Won’t lie I was kind of worried when I got this game what it would be like. But it’s been a fun game (when people know how to sail in the right direction). Only downfall is I wish it could be multiplayer on the same screen instead of having to do different systems and TVs

    There is more to this game then you first realize. Keep at and things will keep getting interesting. Great to play on PC and get more then 30 frames per second on the console. That is the only draw back for me, but I usually play it on my PC.

    This game is really fun. Very standard MMO formula, it does burn out after awhile though, and this is definitely a game to play with people. I would recommend it if you have a group of friends who are willing and ready to play this with you.

      Ahoy there,

      We're glad that a pirate's life is for you in Sea of Thieves. It's true, the best experience is when you share Sea of Thieves with a crew of your close mates. It sounds like you have a crew set already, but if you're ever lonely out on the seas without your friends, you may want to look into joining a Sea of Thieves-oriented Club or using the Looking For Group feature!

    The games fun and the music and cartoonish vibe is great, but the game is meant to be played with others. By yourself it can be difficult to maneuver from location to location without getting harrassed by another ship with more than 1 pirate.

    This game has become my son's favorite game with his best friend. As i understand, it is just for beginners, so don't expect a lot of changes in setting on the different islands. In summary, interesting premise, but with limited content.

      Ahoy there,

      We're glad that your son and his best friend are enjoying Sea of Thieves! While the game is beginner-friendly, we think everyone -- including experienced gamers -- can get into its swashbuckling sandbox gameplay. The developers also have big plans for new features, content, and experiences for Sea of Thieves.

    Sea of Thieves is a lot of fun with a group of three or two. The game is almost impossible if you run alone. Playing with random people can be ok, if they communicate. There is a built in communications wheel with common phrases, such as “head east” or “lower the anchor.” Many times I have been on a boat with three others and nobody else communicates. Also, the game seems short on content. After only a few hours, you’ve done everything possible. The rest of the game is grinding for gold and promotions that only change the color of your equipment, sails, and weapons. There are no improved stats with that expensive sail. See you on the sea, or not!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
