Fun game, but only with friends. Stay away if you enjoy solo games. Now included on the Game Pass so no need to buy.

The game itself is very interesting and a breath of fresh air, however, it can get a bit monotonous after playing a while.

It is definitely a different style game than a lot of others out there. That being said, it is pretty darn fun. Definitely recommend picking this one up!

This game is basically visually appealing and not much more.
As open as it is, you'd think you'd be able to do more than chase chickens, pigs, kill skeletons and change your clothes.
And other players can vote to lock you in the cell at the bottom of the ship and you cant get out, there's no limit from what I've read. You basically have to leave the game and hope your next group doesn't do the same. So far it has potential. Tons. But as of now its open nothingness.

If you have an Xbox One and have 3 friends, this is a fun and cooperation-filled game. Alone however, a less entertaining game with less fun adventures.

Ahoy there,
We're glad to hear that you're having fun sailing the seven seas as a pirate with your mateys. Sea of Thieves can be enjoyed solo, however it's best experienced with a crew of like-minded swashbucklers.
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! https://support.xbox.com/en-US/browse/xbox-one/xbox-live/Clubs%20and%20Looking%20for%20Group

It's a pretty fun game to play. Not something you'll play non-stop, but still good. If you have good team mates, you won't have to worry about trolls.

Ahoy there,

The game is really pretty to look at and it can be tons of fun with friends. It can get tedious and you tend to get ganged up on if you are by yourself

Purchased for my 12 year old nephew - the only game on his birthday wish list - after ensuring my sister was ok with a "T" rated game. He was thrilled with the gift and so were his siblings. It seems they play it all the time, and enjoy the adventure nature of the game. Who doesn't want to be a pirate?!?!

The game has gotten much better after several updates. Fun to play with friends, although it’s a little hard to learn the game at first.

Not a bad game a little cartoony but still a lot of things to do and places to go once you start playing. Love the old pirate era gameplay.

A very social and fun XBOX live game

This is one of the more social games to come along for LIVE in a long time. I can't remember the last time that people are actually using voice chat and communicating while playing a game. The game itself is very simple, and there is not a lot of stuff to do in it, but what is in it works very well and is quite fun to play. This is a game that you sit down to play, and then 2 hours later you are going, "just one more mission". It's strangely pleasant and compelling to play. In any case, if you want something different for LIVE, you should check it out.

This game started so shallow (some pun intended) but it has become so filled with world discovery, story missions, random fights on the ocean, and plenty of gold to keep you going. Rare has put much need love I to this game and it makes for a perfect game to play with your friends!

Maybe it's just not for me. The concept is great but needs about more thought put into it. The side quest are very simple and multi player is the only way to go. If you play solo you will always be attacked by the multi player ships. There are in game purchases you can make with quest gold you earned but it's all just for looks no benefit in game from them. It's also very repetitive. Away first the game is funny but after a few hours it gets old.
