    The game is a bit repetitive. But when you have a fun group of people to play with it can be very fun.

    It's a fun game so far but definitely could use some more content and more single player Focus for when you don't want to go with the crew

    This game is visually beautiful, and for the first few hours is entertaining just to explore. However, after that the game is obviously lacking content. There’s only fetch quests and no story or interesting npcs. The game is really fun if you have a good crew, but if you sail alone it’s quite dull. This might be fixed with more content updates, but as of now they need to add more content to make the game worth buying.

    The game is amazing. My friends and I spend hours at night playing it and we don't even feel the time passing. The graphics are amazing especially the sunsets!!! It's extremely exhilarating when you have a lot of loot and you see another play ship in the horizon. It makes you feel like a pirate

    Sea of Thieves isn’t receiving the best of reviews currently. The game feels content light. If you have friends however the game is honestly fun, especially using communication for navigating the ship. If you’re planning on playing by yourself, you probably won’t find much value in this title.

    This game is an absolute blast. It's simplistic but not for the casual gamer either. Teamwork is a must in this game so if you dislike socializing, this is not a game for you. It definitely gives you an idea of what being a part of a crew on a ship really was like, in all its cartoony glory.

    I usually always buy digital, because I share Xbox live with my son. We both can play the game without buying two games.

      Ahoy Josh,

      Another benefit of going digital is that Sea of Thieves is a Xbox Play Anywhere game, meaning that you can play it on Windows 10 PC and Xbox One. We hope you and your son have a lot of fun sailing the seas as pirates!

      Happy plundering,
