  Sea of Thieves est hautement recommandable en 2024. Beau à pleurer, prenant et incroyablement immersif, c’est une vraie bulle d’air frais à faire avec une bande de potes adeptes de la piraterie également. Accessible, mais profond, complet et bourré de choses à découvrir, le jeu ne propose aucune mécanique redondante et ne nous force jamais à grind contrairement à bien des jeux service. À tel point que c’est même assez déstabilisant au départ. Mais franchi ce cap, une fois que l’on accepte de jouer juste… pour jouer et s’éclater, et non pas pour performer et gagner, le plaisir est décuplé. Un must have à découvrir avec ses amis. En revanche pour les joueurs solo, Sea of Thieves ne sera pas vraiment conseillé. Non seulement on perd une dimension de camaraderie sur laquelle le jeu se repose énormément, mais en prime il sera difficile de s’en tirer, à moins d’opter pour le mode pacifique sans aucun joueur à affronter. Mais là encore, on perd carrément ce qui fait tout le sel marin du jeu et ça serait franchement dommage.

  Se o seu foco for uma experiência multiplayer, para dar risadas, sem qualquer compromisso, sim, vale muito. Sea of Thieves é uma aventura cheia de tesouros quando o assunto é criar memórias com amigos. Agora, se preferir aqueles games como serviço com recompensas por grind ou single-player, é melhor repensar. O jogo da Rare foi feito pensado para chamar a galera, se divertir com seus filhos… tudo para relaxar. Tenha isso em mente, que sua biblioteca do PS5 receberá uma grande adição!

  Sea of Thieves kunnen we een geslaagde live-service game noemen. De game was misschien wat kaal bij zijn release in 2018, maar nu de game op de PlayStation 5 beschikbaar is valt er genoeg te doen om je een lange tijd mee zoet te houden. Niets gaat boven het gevoel van op avontuur gaan met vrienden en zelfs de stroeve besturing en pop-in nemen we er met plezier bij. Na het voltooien van missies, is er niets leuker dan je schatten aan land brengen en verkopen aan één van de vele trading companies, wat maakt dat we bleven terugkeren voor meer. Rare slaat hier een homerun als het gaat om de beleving en het groepsgevoel. Maar dat is gelijk ook een punt, als je de game solo speelt is de ervaring oké, maar pas wanneer je met een stel vrienden de woeste zee te lijf gaat, is waar de game echt straalt!

  Sea of Thieves on PS5 is another great way to play a good multiplayer game. There’s a lot more content now than at launch, with tons of things to do either solo or with a crew. With cross-play and save, a wealth of convenience options, and even more coming down the pirate pipeline, this may be the perfect time to brave the Sea of Thieves.

  Sea of Thieves remains an incredible experience for those of us who like to venture out into the unknown. The framework provided by the quests and the world is merely a routine, a backdrop of activities that allows the wonderfully unexpected and often hilarious to happen. It’s a beautiful and incredibly realised shared-world adventure, and for many players, the question of what might be over that horizon remains as alluring as ever.

  Rare charted its course, and created a true treasure in Sea of Thieves. Its only lows found in solo gameplay, and its one dimensional melee combat. It is the king of emergent gameplay, and boasts a timeless aesthetic. With other issues such as the tedious downtime fixed, and a great many quality of life and accessibility changes, through years of dedication and continued support, Sea of Thieves is the best game as a service on the market.

  The ocean may seem like an immeasurable beast for new pirates, but once players spend enough time to get their bearings, the beast becomes less scary and more adventurous. Still, if players are not entertained by Sea of Thieves gameplay loop and cosmetic-only unlockables, Rare's pirate life may not be for them. For everyone else, including PS5 owners, there is more Sea of Thieves booty and timbers to shiver.

  Sea of Thieves is a blast when playing with friends. With its focus on cosmetic customisation, we slipped into the pirate’s life with ease – even after six years of updates and seasonal changes. Its natural and immersive approach to navigation makes it a seafaring sandbox well worth visiting, and a focus on cosmetics over high-tier loot make it a game you can play at your own pace. It’s a delight to steadily come to grips with the mechanics of the game too, whether that be how to outmanoeuvre enemy ships or sell your loot with quickened efficiency. It might not have the same level of grind that a lot of players look for in a live service game, but there’s endless pirate fun to be had here, and we’re glad that PlayStation players finally have the opportunity to join in on the swashbuckling chaos.

  But Why Tho?

  8.0

  Sea of Thieves is a great game that offers a lot. Between the PvE elements, PvP chaos, story missions, added content, and the upcoming Season 12, there’s a ton to engage with. Playing solo may be a mixed experience, but when it clicked, there was so much to enjoy with your time on the sea. Hitting the high seas with a crew is a genuine blast, leading to absolute chaos in no time flat.

  Since the game's launch over two years ago, Rare has worked continuously to build on Sea of Thieves' strong framework, and the countless features and systems they've added have all enhanced that core, undeniable truth. They still have work to do, and for some players, it will never be enough. But there are open seas and clear skies ahead.
