I recommend playing this game with your friends since it is easier to maneuver your boat. You are able to create open crews for people to join and there are also a lot of ways to find crew members in case you don't have any friends available when you want to play (Sea Of Thieves official discord is a great starting point).

The game is fun, with A LOT of content...from factions to stories you can level up / finish for unique rewards. What i love the most is that progress will not give you an advantage but will make you able to distinguish yourself from other players with a huge amount of cosmetics, curses, tattoos and emotes.

A very well made game!
