Pros
- Sea of Thieves is a first-person multiplayer game offering you an immersive pirate adventure, where strategy and skill determine success rather than who has the most gold or reputation.
- The game features emergent gameplay allowing player crews to decide how they handle encounters with others - it's not just about fighting but also strategizing for control over treasures.
- There are diverse tasks to undertake like treasure hunting, transporting trade goods, and animal hunting in different locations which gives you a rich open-world experience.
- You get special in-game goodies such as a hunter knife, pistol, compass and a bonus of 10,000 gold when purchasing the standard version of this game which help kick start your adventure in style.
- Regular content updates like the ‘The Burning Blade’ during its recent '13th season' provide fresh challenges for players.
Cons
- Some quests can be repetitive and formulaic which may dull the excitement after extended play times.
- While the co-op mode supports up to four players only on one ship - if you have more friends wanting to join your crew they'll need their own ship.
- The heavy reliance on PVP could potentially lead to instances of player griefing - remember it's not all fun being constantly attacked by other pirates!
- Earning good reputation points among trading companies requires completing increasingly complex voyages that might turn off some casual gamers due to difficulty spike.
- Graphic intensity makes water and atmospheric conditions significant parts of gameplay; while visually appealing it could impact performance on lower-end systems.
