Sea of Thieves is a game that interested me due to its themes, mechanics, and ability to be enjoyed with multiplayer. This is my first chapter in looking for new game pass titles to play, and I have to say that I was vastly disappointed. After the initial tutorial and understanding of how the game works, Sea of Thieves became very promising, only before it dawned on me how tedious it actually is.

I can see why many could enjoy this game, especially with friends. But for me, it became apparent that 80-90% would just be a chore as I try to navigate my ship from island to island for hours only to be met with lackluster combat and even more tedium. I want to be clear that I don’t think this is necessarily bad. Death Stranding and the Life is Strange series have a lot of moments that feel like chores, but those games are beautiful to look at and have a great underlying story. This game just feels empty, like the multiplayer game without substance it is.

Final Score: 50/100
