Sea of Thieves (thoughts)
7 years ago
So I got to play in the tech alpha for the game. It's not implemented many of the games final features, and was pretty basic, but still some of the most fun I have ever had in my entire life for a game. This was with nothing but pick up groups.
Now one thing I need to say is I am a 'bit' bias, as I love everything pirate related & sea related. I love games that have sailing in it to say the least.
One good thing to note is the game is going to be for Xbox and PC, now before you think PC has a huge advantage, it doesn't. They put in a few things to help give the console players a chance to fight against PC players. Primarily due to it helps you when in a duel keep track of the other player, and using the cannons currently is a bit difficult to say the least. That and I noticed it's best to play with a group instead of going solo. Solo play seems more for truly independent people. Yet even then they will be forced to run from most fights unless they can take the fight right to the enemy when they are distracted. Yet it's hard to sail a ship, fire the cannons, make repairs, and bail water when all by your self. As to do anything you need to do it manually. Lowering the sail, raising the anchor, firing the cannons, etc are all actions that you need to manually move to the object and interact with it. Making you feel like a total badass when sailing on the small ship (when you do something awesome) But the game is truly the best when with a group, but still playable when solo or with a single buddy.
Yet its when you are with three other people that you get the galleon and get to experience what the game wants to truly offer you. Working as a team, finding the loot and cashing it in, or stealing from others is the best to say the least. I wish I could have streamed the game, as it's just a blast to even sail out on the open ocean between treasure hunts, or bounties.
The art style is breath taking to say the least, with inspiration obviously from Monkey Island. To sum it up, if you like action & adventure with pirates, then you should look into this game.
