Sea of Thieves is an open-world pirate MMO game. The title was developed by the legendary studio Rare, one of the oldest British developers. The company previously created famous series like Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie and Killer Instinct. After Rare was bought by Microsoft, it became less important and during the last few years, it mostly developed Kinect Sports series. Sea of Thieves was announced during E3 2015 and it debuted more than two years later on Xbox One and PC.

Plot

In Sea of Thieves the players assume the role of corsairs and they participate in various pirate activities like swimming through seas and oceans, looking for treasures and fighting monsters and other pirates. The game’s tone isn’t very serious and the life under the black flag is presented in a humorous way.

Digital Trends: 4 / 5 by Will Fulton

'Sea of Thieves' feels a little thin, but its unique foundation has captured our imagination.

Full Review

Game Informer: 7 / 10 by Kyle Hilliard

Sea of Thieves can be tedious, and it lacks a compelling progression hook, but it excels as a cooperative story generator for you and your friends

Full Review

VideoGamer: 6 / 10 by Alice Bell

Rare's piratical playground looks lovely, but you have to make a bit too much of your own fun. The sound and the fury of the waves is lovely, but for Sea of Thieves to be properly good it needs to give the players more to work with.
