Abstract: XBOXRare and Microsoft are aiming for Sea of Thieves to be one of Xbox's top franchises. That's what the developer told Daily Star some weeks back when we had the chance to preview the game at Rare's Studio to check out the game.But this week, the game re...
Sea of Thieves is great fun, and there's not much else like it available at the moment. Crewing up and sailing around searching for treasure and getting into epic sea battles is yet to get tiresome, and with a large variety of Voyages to undertake and ran...
There's a lot more we've yet to see from Sea of Thieves, and the core loop of finding treasure, carrying treasure, and selling treasure needs plenty around it to keep things interesting. But so far, Rare's proven it has a solid foundation in mechanics, gr...
I had a lot of childish fun with Sea of Thieves. It's a game that needs to be played to be understood and to speculate about its potential. Rare is an iconic developer for a reason, and has always been capable of building incredibly rich worlds. It's one...

Can be brilliant fun, Stunning cartoon visuals, Loads of potential
Quests are repetitious, Some ideas aren't fully fleshed out, Needs more content

Big batch of story content provides lots to do for new players and veterans alike, Jack Sparrow is a fun character to have around, New areas are big and full of secrets to find, Additions to the sandbox help energize the rest of the game, Low stakes means
Some Tall Tales are buggy, with issues that can stall progress, Story content relies on the weaker aspects of Sea of Thieves, like platforming, New content misses a lot of what makes the game great, like the unpredictability of its open world
