Sea of Thieves 2023 Edition Reviews

worst connection problems i've ever encountered in any game. desyncs, heavy lags and regular disconnects are the only consistent parts of this game

Grinding this game is so tedious and honestly mind numbing at time. But when you play like an actual pirate and get very drunk and cruise around with buddies with a reaper flag it takes such a fun turn. Also the art style is so calming and def adds to the amazing atmosphere.

Its just full of hackers, and if its not hackers then the game is just broken. when 4 people shoot a person 20 times and they live, its either hacks or hit reg either way it ruins the game and its a waste of an evening. game could be good if it worked right

Worst community ever. Gameplay is you trynna survive griefers and maybe get 4k out of the 200k gold you would have made. Wont reccomend to any new players who think this game is a cool pirate game. Dont listen to the streamers who say good things cause they pay em to.

The fact that safer seas mode still has lazybeard is a deal breaker for me. It is totally unacceptable if I'm playing solo in safer seas to get disconnected and lose all my stuff and progression. Things might happen in real life, unexpected emergencies might happen and I don't have time to go to an outpost and sell my stuff. I requested a refund

Sail around for 3 hours until you run into a squad with thousands of hours who immediately sink you. Alternatively, queue up for a random squad who are 90% sabotaging trolls.

I adore this game (as you can see by my playtime) but can't recommend it today. The game has been plagued for more than 2 years with more cheaters than I ever seen in any online game and the most toxic players I've had the displeasure to meet. Rare is doing exactly nothing to address this, until this change there's plenty of better game out there to play.

Joining as a new player in season 15, I feel like a chicken running around a jungle full of jaguars, snakes and other predators that want to eat me. The game can be fun especially with friends, but if the only way to have at least an enjoyable experience for hours without getting sunk by a sweaty tryhard toxic player, is to forcibly learn to pvp, then it just makes this game less motivating to play in my opinion. I bought this game with the hopes of chilling and having a nice time with the boys but we would sometimes get invaded by a server-hopping reaper level 5 and get trolled and sweared at while we dont have any loot. Like this game has such a toxic community that even when I went to their discord server to at least give my opinions about the game, most of the veterans of this game just basically told me to 'get good,' which further adds fuel to the unmotivating fire. I dont hate the game for having pvp, dont get me wrong. Its not called "Sea of Thieves" for nothing. But I feel like the only good option to play the game with a sense of progression and rewards is to play on High seas, which can breed some of the most toxic and tryhard gremlins in gaming history ive ever seen. Playing safer seas doesnt really feel like im playing the game because most of the progression system will be locked once you reach level 25 with any company you grind for. Like I literally just booted up a game this morning and I immediatly get keg'd by a galleon of 4 people and get spawncamped because I just wanted to go fishing. If safer seas just became private servers without any restrictions, then I think many people would start playing the game more, because some people like myself just want to have fun and not be an ******* while trying to catch some fish.

[h1]Sea of Thieves[/h1] This game is pure pirate madness. You set sail, hunt for treasure, and before you know it, you’re fighting a kraken, getting jumped by another crew, or sinking because someone forgot to patch a hole. Every session is unpredictable, and that’s what makes it so fun. The world looks stunning, the sea feels alive, and whether you’re battling skeletons, chasing loot, or just messing around with your crew, there’s always something happening. No levels, no overpowered gear—just skill, teamwork, and a bit of luck. Yeah, PvP can be brutal, and the game doesn’t explain much, but once you get the hang of it, nothing beats the thrill of a good heist or a perfectly timed getaway. If you’ve got a crew, this is one of the best multiplayer experiences out there. It’s a 9/10 – Trust no one, watch the horizon, and embrace the chaos.

this game is great, fantastic even. i adore this game so much. it is so fun to play with friends especially if you're just looking for a game to grind and relax. the customization for pirates and boats is fit for everyone. plus there's pets in the game that are so damn cute. however, and when i say however i mean HOWEVER. this game is so incredibly toxic when it comes to the reaper faction. i have never in my entire life have come across more toxic players than this game. i understand that this game is a pvp game and a "pirate" game. meaning you are going to get your loot stolen sometimes.. whatever. i dont need the sweaty reaper players to defend it because theres no defending that faction in the slightest. there is nothing more depressing than spending 2-3 hours grinding voyages and getting your emissary level 5 just to have a sweaty and toxic reaper ship take it all from you. thats not even the bad part. when you get close to sinking, they can easily come on board and bucket water from your ship so you dont sink and they keep you held hostage there however long they want. you can say "just sink them! just get better!" but no, its not like that. the consistent eating which heals you. the constant jumping. yeah good luck beating the sweats who dedicated hours into the pvp in this game. this game has taken hours off of my life simply because the player base consists of so many toxic and disrespectful people who get no joy from anything else but sinking your ship and making you feel like you just spent your time doing nothing just to lose it all. now dont get me wrong, this game is great but i strongly recommend preparing yourself for what will inevitably be the most frustrating and depressing time of your life when you come across a ship of reapers who will do everything just to make your day miserable.
