Feels very loose and janky to play, like a crappy arcade game. I could immediately tell the loop would get stale quickly. I got it on sale for ~$30 and refunded after an hour. $10-15 feels more fair for such a mediocre title.

crap in every way

The game has potential but the loading screens are awful. Nearly as much time waiting for the loading screens as playing the game. Wish there was a mini activity during the loading screens. Load to go to sea, load to go to vendor, load to leave vendor, load to leave sea, load if any story change. Really bad!!! Typically 50 seconds to 2 minutes loading every single time. Its a different kind of punishment if you die. Minus the loading screens I enjoy the sea fighting. The islands are very rough. The software use all resources to run a 2003 graphic game. Why is it such a hog of cpu, Battle Eye is why. Battle Eye nearly ruined my attempt at playing the game. Its a pirate game, who care if you cheat. Its a pirate game, really!! Sure we don't want the cheating to ruin the experience. Moderate surveillance is perfectly appropriate. Cutthroat surveillance simply isn't necessary. Even after all that I still enjoy the game. It has potential, but will the company listen or simply ruin the experience. Time will tell.

It was a good concept with potential, but it was not designed for people to solo missions in the late game. Late game, it is more of a completion and skin checklist than a game. 42 hrs to level 12 and expected to max out at level 13, while difficulty levels go well up to at least 17 (the last 3 ships are not available anymore but are still visible in the list of blueprints; missions require 5 players, but parties are limited to 3). If they were expecting me to pay for late game features, then I am even less impressed. Try it if you want, if it goes below $10 USD, but I can't say it is worth it for any more than that. I will not be buying Ubisoft games in the future.

I didn't think they could've made the game any worse after leaving in season one and coming back this game has lost all its fun for me wouldn't recommend it to anyone if you can find your niche here good on ya. Refund

its worse than AC4 in pretty much every way, but its still a fun game to just chill out with. Recommend on sale.

turn down the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ repair speed makes the game irritating as hell 30s is good god its every game do devs feed on pain and suffering because if they don't im calling cap why make a game into a 9-5 job no wonder why gamers are dealing with there karen parents because of devs like these guys but like said EVERY SINGLE GAME IS A JOB NOT COOL! other than the repair 7/10 fix that stupid 100s for me to heal fr why?

First off like other comments may state do not buy full price wait for a sale. the game is lots of fun once u get into it and has plenty of meat on its bones when u snag it for $20-$25 i own on both my steam deck and ps5 which shows how much fun the game can get

Its just not that good...

Okay, well Its not that bad. Grown to really love this game- just wasn't expecting a mmo like gta online.... I was wishing for more of a black flag type thing- which is a shame, but this is everything I wanted sea of thieves to be.

I just warn it looks terrible in dlss somehow, you will have to relaunch game frequently, ALOT of small glitches, and horrendous lod animations (for some reason?)

Maybe I've grown too jaded from so many early access games but its surprisingly tolerable and just such a fun game.

will not let me play because it believes i dont own the game
