    This is a great game to fool around with friends. Probably not worth it if you don’t really play online. I question if there’s really enough content, but I imagine Rare will continue to support it while theres enough of an audience.

    Cool game. Not a whole lot of content currently. But it’s a fun dynamic when you have a crew of pirates with you.

    Sea of Thieves is an excellent time with friends that promotes tense and often times hilarious moments, however that is only if you play with friends. While you can play solo, you will lack much of the fun the game has to offer.

    It can be relaxing. It can be exciting. Actually fun on your own or in a crew. Needs a story and some purpose but it's so unique the good outweighs the bad. They keep adding new free DLC. Fishing this April 2019!

    Sea of thieves is an online MMO pirate game. You can find treasure maps and buried treasure chest, fight the skeleton captains and their mysterious skulls, find and capture chickens or simply just be a true pirate and sink another pirates ship and take their treasure. Beyond fun gaming experience. The game it's self is suitable for just about any age, however this game is online and you cannot control what other say online. Over all worth the money and time

      Hey there,

      Thanks for sharing how Arrrrrr-mazing you think Sea of Thieves is! We're glad that you are enjoying being a swashbuckling pirate online. It's an experience best enjoyed with mateys, so try to group up with friends for your crew.

    this is one of the better games to play with your friends. I can see how people would be turned off by playing solo. But my friends and I enjoy doing the missions while causing a little chaos running into other players.

      Ahoy there,

      Thank you for sharing your enjoyment of Sea of Thieves! We agree that sailing the seven seas with mateys can be more fun (and far safer) than trying to go it on your own. And you're right -- the developers have been working hard to create new experiences and content for the game. To see what they've been working on, go here: https://www.seaofthieves.com/news

    This game is fun to play alone or cooperatively with a friend. The steering of the ship takes some getting used to, but once you have that down, you will have a ton of fun!

    Sea of Thieves is one of the most engaging titles Rare has put out in many many years. While it can be played solo to an extent, you really need a crew of 1-3 other people to play with in order to maximize your enjoyment. Yes, getting attacked by others in the game universe is annoying but such is life on the high seas where everyone is a pirate!

    This is by far, my favorite Xbox title. I play everyday. You can be a good pirate, or a bad pirate. Me...I'm one of those pirates you don't want to come across, on the seas. You'll most likely visit Davey Jones. From digging treasure, fighting skeletons & skeleton captains, delivering cargo, fighting megs & Krakens, battling other ships. It's a blast, through & through. Nonstop action

    By yourself it feels like a risky adventure because other pirates can attack and steal all your loot. With friends its like an interactive chat room. Wind direction really slows the game down sometimes.

    I'm more of a campaign player though. I dont play online much. Dont have time with family and job life. Online sucks most of the time because people are rude and unfriendly. Not to mention if you have a life outside of gaming u cant just stop in the middle of the game and leave when ur needed. People get mad at that if your online with them.
