Its possible things could change, or I could hit some sort of moment that finally makes the whole thing click, but the basic mechanics Ive encountered and dealt with so far make that feel unlikely. If youre a player that values his or her time, a few bad player encounters will sour your overall experience quickly.ДЄgain, Im pretty early into the game overall, and plan on devoting more time this week to it before finalizing my review. Losing all of your loot, whether by having it stolen or having your ship sunk, feels really awful too, mostly because collecting that loot was likely time consuming to collect. Ranged weapons could be a bit more interesting, but the extremely limited ammo capacity of the two types of guns you can access makes them a little lackluster too.

Theres not much finesse to combat, youre pretty much just swiping your sword a few times, backing up to avoid an attack, and repeating the action. They might look fancier, but behave no differently regardless of how they look.ДЇor some folks this will be OK, but Id rather feel like Im getting some sort of forward progression out of the experience. There are no real upgrades to speak of in Sea of Thieves, your ship, sails, and weapons never really change from their basic functions. The aforementioned quests pretty much revolve around collecting livestock, locating treasure using a map, or killing off mindless waves of skeletal enemies.Дoing any of these things involves lugging items back to your ship to cash them in and reap quest rewards.Д«ut those rewards are typically just gold, which in turn can only Youre not just staring at a map, but instead youre actively navigating, assuming a role, and putting in effort to get from point A to point B. Needing to not only steer, but control sail length, sail direction, and keep water out of your boat helps make the journey from one island to the next eventful. Manning your ship, either with other players in tow or all by yourself, also feels pretty satisfying. This is good, since youll be seeing a lot of water as you journey from island to island, taking on quests, killing skeletons, engaging with other players, and delivering goods. The world itself is pretty neat looking, and the water effects are stellar. Still, I feel like if I keep scratching at it I might finally have an Aha moment, so I continue on. Thats on me though, and less on the game, since it is pretty upfront with the importance of online play and dedicated parties. There is definitely more to gain from playing with a dedicated group of friends, and so far my experience in dealing with either random crew members or trying to go it alone has been pretty lackluster. So far, it doesnt seem like it, but I can also understand the appeal for those playing.
