I’m so hooked to this game. I love it. Just bought it for first time on my ps5 and already have 90 hours on it. My wife is loving it cause I stay home with her now glued to this game instead of out with friends lol
I wish you would have talked more about PVP because that's like 50% of the game. And the mechanics are simple but it has a very very high skill ceiling which I wish you would have touched on. This game looks deceptively simple but the more you dig into the mechanics you discover more and more and faster you can do things
I’m absolutely LOVING this game!! Started it on PS5 release and I had the best time solo slooping last night. I’m at $350k gold, mostly through the help of others, and can now buy my own ship. It’s a great game and giving me EQ vibes for how it’s consuming all my thoughts.
I can’t play it anymore on my ps5 because it’s shut down for maintenance apparently. But my little brother can still play it on his Xbox. Anybody else have this problem?
There seems to be so much content in haven’t even scratched the surface yet and im having so much fun. Its day 3 and I already got enough to buy my first ship
Ya its great..just grabbed it for ps5 on release day..having a blast..im one of those that this totally appeals too..yep i die alot..yep my ship has been sunk..but it never bothers me and im having so much fun in this game
@@kipare1971i would say it works half because sometimes you need to use your controller like in the menu or something but overall i think it worked on my xbox a few months ago
Am I the only one that the game keeps crashing on. I am talking for an unplayable game. Small freezes here and there is ok but continuous complete crashes on a game that deletes my whole progress that is a different level. Is anyone else having this problem???
To all my new PS5 fellow pirates, welcome to the Sea of Thieves. Just know that you will sink often at first, but that's part of the fun! Learn from your mistakes, and eventually, you'll be sinking ships more than Davey Jones himself. Don't worry about the "grind." The game has plenty of content now to keep pretty much every type of player occupied. Just pick your favorite activities, whether that be PVP, PVE, or something else, and have fun. The gold and rep will come naturally. Being a Pirate Legend is nice and all but it's not what it used to be. Now it's more of a rite of passage than this accolade to be aspired to. So just have fun, tuck on a enemy ship, raid some skeleton forts, the game has a lot to offer.
The PvP is by far the best part of the game, being able to battle in hourglass or clear a server under a reaper emissary is the most fun you can have, especially after already achieving PL & maxing out the companies🤝
Shame a lot of reviewers arent touching on the PVP or naval combat, the latter being one of, if not the games biggest mechanical strengths IMO. As someone who has played SoT since its launch in 2018, I can say while combat and many other systems do have a low learning curve and appear basic at first glance, once that switches from PVE to PVP, the learning curve and skill ceiling of this game sky rockets, theres so much to learn and tactics to master - that goes for land and naval combat too. The excitement of engaging with other players, that being as friend or foe, or somewhere in between, is what keeps this game fun to return to over and over.
I agree, I just started yesterday and decided to do a PvP round just to see what it was like, I got hard carried by the Ghost Fleet that my opponent happened to spawn next to lol.
Its a cool game but i’m not enjoying it how i thought i would. Thats because of mainly 3 reasons. 1) things get repetitive. Every time u start a new session or get shot down by other players, you rause your emissary to level it up again and do the same activities all over again. 2) toxic people let you sink far too often. When i’m making a fortress, chilling at the outpost, some random kiddo will just make sink my ship that has no crew and no loot on it. Soo you need to do everything again, gather resources and level up emissary flag (again repetitive). Also, our duo ALWAYS faces ships of 3 or 4 people. Wtf is that. How are you supposed to compete. Every encounter is a secure sink for us.. 3) but the biggest problem for me is, that there is no real objective. The first day i was super hyped because i had the objective in mind to safe for money to buy my ship. After i bought it? No objective. Who cares if i have 400k gold or 5 million.. i can just buy cosmetics with it and i’m just using 1 or 2 sets anyway.. idk. Not the thing i expected from the game. After a session of 2 hours i get completely bored fron it and dont touch it again the whole day. The next day i’m hyped again to seal the sees, but again because of this 3 reasons after 2 hours it gets boring again
The thing is, if People don't like PvP, there is always the option for Safer Seas, where you can't encounter any other Player Crews. Before Safer Seas there was a minor "Code" (not Rule) that new Spawns or Swabbies wont get attacked, some Players still live by this Rule but I can absolutely understand any1 who doesnt. Sometimes you want the Supplies, sometimes you want Commendations, many Reasons to sink *anyone*, PLUS in the end it's a Sandbox Game, you don't even NEED a reason to sink anyone. "Sandbox" would also explain why you dont like the Gameplay Loop (1) and feel like you have no real objective (3) D: I understand you and anyone who doesn't like that, sandbox is not for everyone. Best Tip I could give is to try SoT with a "I log in, set sail, then I wait and see what happens" mindset, there are limited "achievable" things, and those that are, are cosmetic by nature
@@madhatt0r819 dont get me wrong, i like pvp, but its not balanced without an anctual matchmaking based on skills or crew members. How can we as a 2 man crew always be put in a lobbys with only experienced 4 player galleons that transferred there progress from xbox to playstation.. And safer seas is far too limited, i mean you cant even use your own ship, which is kinda the whole thing sot rotates around (buying cosmetics for your ship as its the only thing you see)
@@alexamplatz aye, but there is an Hourglass direct PvP Mode if you like more balanced Matches, always Crewsize vs same Crewsize. Other than that it's like I said - a Sandbox D: just as in Rust or DayZ you encounter everyone on the Seas. I wish I could encourage you to give the Solo Slooper life a try, its hell, its unfair, literally brand new Player could sink you if just one bad luck Cannonball hits your Face, but I played like this for about 1800 Hours and its just such an addicting Playstyle. I can't count the amount of "if I were simply TWO I would have sunk them", but matchmaking in the open Adventure Servers would just destroy the Sandbox that I love so much I hope you give SoT another Chance, maybe later or so, watch some renown Solo Sloopers like Blurbs, Flotsam, sometimes Beardageddon or BoxyFresh to see how fun it can be :D
The pvp is balanced you just dont like it. If you see a brig or galleon run away if you cant fight. you are faster since you are a smaller ship. Most people are going to attack you if you raise emissary lmao thats a given. and the objective is to be a pirate and do pirate things to earn gold and buy items. Did you blindly purchase the game or some shit dude? your complaints are literally about players acting like pirates in a pirate game
Block hold lunge the second you start to accelerate jump also you have a quick dodge on sword if you block and directional jump you’ll move to the side

@@heroman1322 Get an Xbox. It's where all the great games live. Playstation fanboys are finally seeing that. Top selling games on Playstation are Xbox games. 🤣
Feels like a very shallow review given it doenst touch on the PvP or Coop almost at all. It's just so much fun with friends and even if you hate PvP you can actually enjoy it if you engage for the laughs as much as it can annoy you if you dont like PvP as most mechanics unfold while at it. Greta game. Haven't touched ina while as I played a lot till a couple years ago. Glad it gets the recognition is deserves. Very very well supported game. Happy for the devs behind it.
Still, I would like to be able to overtake Fortresses or islands, and claim them as your own. Put some defenses up or some NPC's, invest money, build stuff! The cosmetics are nice, but not enough to loot & pillage for.
for you new ps5 players i have a few tips that u should know and some mistakes yall need to stop making. ill start by saying if you dont want o get destroyed by pc sweats there are controller only servers for you so your on a better playing field you can toggle this when in the crew ledger before going into a game just scroll over to it and activate it. the mistake some of you are making is that you need to stop attacking other ships until you get better, yesterday a full galleon of ps5 players came and attacked me and my brother on a sloop and after immobilising them they had no idea what to do to repair and even after that we got attacked 3 times more by brigantines and other sloops.
Was playing yesterday and had some PS5 people clearly testing the waters with the hour glass and my crew and immobilized them and burned their ship to the ground Afterwards another brig crew came literally right next to us with full fort haul while we were reaper 5 and we stopped them as they tried to use sovereign took everything they had even lowered emissary for the bonus mid combat took the reaper chest over to the hideout while they chased and then anchored them down in a storm
I’d only buy it if you were into PvP. Otherwise you’ll meet a lot of online parasites looking to take your stuff. The graphics and tall ship simulation are nice, but it can be repetitive.
Man I wanna say good things but I just experienced my first people on God mode messing with me I just started like two days ago now I rather just have my refund
@@mdc123-v2vyeah…I’m playing in 24000 ultra 10k with a quad core super donkey 111739 P9 graphics chip processor…it upscales into real life at 240 fps ~ PC guys
Wanna say this is better than skull and bones but let's be honest, that's isn't a compliment. Anything's better than skull and bones. There's a broken toaster in my garage and even that's better than skull and bones
I'm gonna stress this as somebody who's got hundreds of hours logged playing on pve servers is robbing yourself of the best moments not ever pirate will sink on sight and you should engage in this randomness trust me the best gameplay is with others
It's mid. Do the same repetitive stuff, get attacked by players constantly (mainly sweats), or the alternative is safer seas with restricts every activity and cuts profits by 70%
@@Criminal-TC would have been a good game with detailed ship building and base building , more weapons and in depth combat. All you do now is fight mindless skeletons with button mash and dig up useless cosmetics
That kinda sounds like a hater comment from someone that never played it. Just saying. 2 things can be true. Can be rare for a pirate game and be a good game too.
@@Youraveragegamer_97Sometimes the people that dislike stuff the most put the most time into things. Funny how that works. I guess you want to be a big fan but you aren’t. Just saying how it came across. I shouldn’t assume. Either way my point still stands. But it wasn’t clear you were giving a review of the game and not general hater points about the developer. Fair enough. I apologize for assuming.
I hate to say it but Skulls & Bones is a pretty looking game - the cartoon aesthetic wastes the graphic capabilities of modern consoles (it was originally developed when processor was far more restricted)
No one cares about pretty graphics. There’s so much about this game that makes it 100x better than skull and bones. It’s funner to play, has more in depth gameplay, more interesting lore, more aesthetically pleasing ambience and world, has more to do, role playing capabilities, and endless always to play. Skull and bones is a glorified arcade game. I’ve played more interesting games in Chuck E Cheese
@@brendanlove9739 EDIT “Not everyone cares about pretty graphics…”. As for game play - this is a personal taste and not everyone has to like the same thing - this is no WRONG taste just different taste. All opinions are valid, except those that universal sweeping statements that start either “EVERYONE’ or “NO-ONE” - if universal statements were true, then the games I liked would be the same that you liked etc.
@@SighManP I suppose so, but still, I think that having graphics be your end all reason to like a game is a little shallow. Trust me, I love good graphics in games, but it’s a secondary for me. And sometime these games that focus on art more than realism look better because of it. I would never want sea of thieves to be realistic. The whole vibe of the game is more about playing up the caricature of pirates and living out a pirate fantasy rather than playing as a realistic pirate. Also the graphics being this artsy and simplistic means they have more resources for more important things, like actual content. If the game had amazing, realistic graphics then we’d still be stuck in the days when there wasn’t anything to do in the game because all of the game’s resources would be going to the graphics. Hell, even then the water physics look absolutely incredible, better than any other game I’ve ever played. I just can’t realistically see a reason that a person would like Skull and Bonds over Sea of Thieves. Maybe if it was what it was originally intended, which was basically Assassins creed Black Flag but without the assassins. That game would be cool. But that’s not what we got. Instead, we got World of Warships 1700s Edition, which is just not interesting to a lot of people. Could you give some more in depth reasons why you think Skull and Bones is better? There’s got to be more to it than just graphics. Have you ever even tried Sea of Thieves?
@@brendanlove9739 👍 Totally true that I haven’t tried Sea of Thieves yet (Note that I will happily try it), However I did play Skull & Bones for the 3 days of the free Beta and thoroughly enjoyed it BUT in my opinion, I didn’t think the gameplay of S&B was worth the full price (it’s certainly not a AAA game). My original comment though was that I preferred the LOOK of S&B as it used more of the graphic capability of the PS5. Having played computer games since 1981 (I’m old), I tired of the cartoon look many decades ago. I appreciate though other folks enjoy that look but it’s not to my taste. I will not dispute that the gameplay of Sea of Thieves MIGHT be better than S&B but that too is a personal taste. I remember a pirate game from 40 years ago called Plunder which S&B’s gameplay pleasantly reminded me of. Also I 100% agree that S&B was original rumoured to be a far different (better?) game but of course that never arrived.
@@SighManP In that case I definitely highly recommend you give it a shot. It’s understandable to get tired of that look. Overall, I’m pretty sure that the graphics are inspired by those older games These are the same people that made Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong. And there’s Monkey Island stuff that got added earlier last year which you can tell heavily inspired a lot of the aesthetics. I can see why at first glance it could be written off, but overall SoT is one of the most pleasing to the eyes games to play. And if you’re not a fan of the look, after dipping your toes into it you understand why it’s the way it is. Everything clicks and then the rest is history. The main allure of the game is just how free you are to go do what you want. There are no mission objectives (unless you play the tall tales, but even those have really loose guidelines.) Everyone always talks about how they want to play a “sandbox” game. This game is the closest I’ve ever seen a game actually be an open sandbox. You can search for treasure, hunt skeletons, ghosts, or sea monsters, or other pirates if you want to pvp. You can attack forts, solve mysteries, shoot yourself out of cannons, do those tall tales I mentioned, some of which are based on Pirates of the Caribbean and have characters like Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones in it, go fishing, or just sail the ocean at your heart’s content, which is really fun because controlling the ship is really immersive. You have to manually, steer the ship, aim the sails into the wind and put them up and down, weight the anchor, repair the ship with planks of wood, load the cannons , all while looking out for skeletons and sea monsters or rival pirates wanting to take your loot. It is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Alright, I’m hopping off my soap box now lol

Wanna say this is better than skull and bones but let's be honest, that's isn't a compliment. Anything's better than skull and bones. There's a broken toaster in my garage and even that's better than skull and bones
Do you think you need friends for it to be fun?
It’s almost necessary although you can join a crew with randoms which is nice.
@@alexiosflorianfarajthat’s ass man , I wanna hop on and play casually not have to find randoms to play with… happy I didn’t get this game
Anyone gonna talk about how we don’t have any PlayStation exclusives? (Xbox’s player here )
Because Sony doesnt want to put them to Xbox. Its simple as that.
@@goodside1807 it’s deeper than that trust
You can't play this game if you have no friends :(
That’s not true. I play solo all the time. It’s harder but it’s 100% possible.
MostHighServant7 add me fam
@@zaccampa4055ahh I want to get this game but I am a solo player ? I don’t think I’ll get it tho , it looks super fun but
Not true, just take a sloop
Or play open crew. MEET NEW FRIENDS
Sony buying Paramount, Will Sony play the Microsoft card and say we gotta compete with Disney.
I'm gonna stress this as somebody who's got hundreds of hours logged playing on pve servers is robbing yourself of the best moments not ever pirate will sink on sight and you should engage in this randomness trust me the best gameplay is with others
The controller makes this game feel soo nice to
So sad there is no character creator.
The Models look absolutely horrendous.
That’s a good thing. If everyone could make their pirate, everyone would have a pirate looks like Gigachad and there would be no original pirates
It's been out too long. I'll buy it when it's down to $20.
Give me uncharted for xbox please
Warum gibt es nur Digital das Game 🤧😤🤮
I wish i didnt buy the premium for 60 bucks its kind of toxic and i have no friends on it
You can make friends in the game
@@nicklausinthehouse8214 maybe but so far ive only found rude people. I was thrown in jail and cursed at
If you run into a person named simpboy on a galleon just run away you dont want the smoke
It's mid. Do the same repetitive stuff, get attacked by players constantly (mainly sweats), or the alternative is safer seas with restricts every activity and cuts profits by 70%
That’s wack skipping this shite.
Still boring af repetitive gameplay without meaningful progression
Cry harder
Its an open world sand box game bro
@@Criminal-TC would have been a good game with detailed ship building and base building , more weapons and in depth combat. All you do now is fight mindless skeletons with button mash and dig up useless cosmetics
It's only a good game because the pirate genre is almost non existant in gaming, how many other good multiplayer pirate games are there
That kinda sounds like a hater comment from someone that never played it. Just saying. 2 things can be true. Can be rare for a pirate game and be a good game too.
@@Ray-dl5mp Not really I've probably put more hours into it than you ever would
@@Ray-dl5mp Sorry but the only people that use the word hater arw defenders of mediocrity
@@Youraveragegamer_97Sometimes the people that dislike stuff the most put the most time into things. Funny how that works. I guess you want to be a big fan but you aren’t. Just saying how it came across. I shouldn’t assume. Either way my point still stands. But it wasn’t clear you were giving a review of the game and not general hater points about the developer. Fair enough. I apologize for assuming.
@@Ray-dl5mp whatever you say kid
Game is awesome and even more so because the PS5 community is generally a more awesome group of people compared to toxic Microsoft/Xbox gamers
After I got my captained ship the game just got so boring for me.
Is this an AI voice?
Had this bs game PS5 release 12 hours in no one in sight waste of money personally
Meh
looks better than xbox

I hate to say it but Skulls & Bones is a pretty looking game - the cartoon aesthetic wastes the graphic capabilities of modern consoles (it was originally developed when processor was far more restricted)
No one cares about pretty graphics. There’s so much about this game that makes it 100x better than skull and bones. It’s funner to play, has more in depth gameplay, more interesting lore, more aesthetically pleasing ambience and world, has more to do, role playing capabilities, and endless always to play. Skull and bones is a glorified arcade game. I’ve played more interesting games in Chuck E Cheese
@@brendanlove9739 EDIT “Not everyone cares about pretty graphics…”. As for game play - this is a personal taste and not everyone has to like the same thing - this is no WRONG taste just different taste. All opinions are valid, except those that universal sweeping statements that start either “EVERYONE’ or “NO-ONE” - if universal statements were true, then the games I liked would be the same that you liked etc.
@@SighManP I suppose so, but still, I think that having graphics be your end all reason to like a game is a little shallow. Trust me, I love good graphics in games, but it’s a secondary for me. And sometime these games that focus on art more than realism look better because of it. I would never want sea of thieves to be realistic. The whole vibe of the game is more about playing up the caricature of pirates and living out a pirate fantasy rather than playing as a realistic pirate. Also the graphics being this artsy and simplistic means they have more resources for more important things, like actual content. If the game had amazing, realistic graphics then we’d still be stuck in the days when there wasn’t anything to do in the game because all of the game’s resources would be going to the graphics. Hell, even then the water physics look absolutely incredible, better than any other game I’ve ever played. I just can’t realistically see a reason that a person would like Skull and Bonds over Sea of Thieves. Maybe if it was what it was originally intended, which was basically Assassins creed Black Flag but without the assassins. That game would be cool. But that’s not what we got. Instead, we got World of Warships 1700s Edition, which is just not interesting to a lot of people. Could you give some more in depth reasons why you think Skull and Bones is better? There’s got to be more to it than just graphics. Have you ever even tried Sea of Thieves?
@@brendanlove9739 👍 Totally true that I haven’t tried Sea of Thieves yet (Note that I will happily try it), However I did play Skull & Bones for the 3 days of the free Beta and thoroughly enjoyed it BUT in my opinion, I didn’t think the gameplay of S&B was worth the full price (it’s certainly not a AAA game). My original comment though was that I preferred the LOOK of S&B as it used more of the graphic capability of the PS5. Having played computer games since 1981 (I’m old), I tired of the cartoon look many decades ago. I appreciate though other folks enjoy that look but it’s not to my taste. I will not dispute that the gameplay of Sea of Thieves MIGHT be better than S&B but that too is a personal taste. I remember a pirate game from 40 years ago called Plunder which S&B’s gameplay pleasantly reminded me of. Also I 100% agree that S&B was original rumoured to be a far different (better?) game but of course that never arrived.
@@SighManP In that case I definitely highly recommend you give it a shot. It’s understandable to get tired of that look. Overall, I’m pretty sure that the graphics are inspired by those older games These are the same people that made Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong. And there’s Monkey Island stuff that got added earlier last year which you can tell heavily inspired a lot of the aesthetics. I can see why at first glance it could be written off, but overall SoT is one of the most pleasing to the eyes games to play. And if you’re not a fan of the look, after dipping your toes into it you understand why it’s the way it is. Everything clicks and then the rest is history. The main allure of the game is just how free you are to go do what you want. There are no mission objectives (unless you play the tall tales, but even those have really loose guidelines.) Everyone always talks about how they want to play a “sandbox” game. This game is the closest I’ve ever seen a game actually be an open sandbox. You can search for treasure, hunt skeletons, ghosts, or sea monsters, or other pirates if you want to pvp. You can attack forts, solve mysteries, shoot yourself out of cannons, do those tall tales I mentioned, some of which are based on Pirates of the Caribbean and have characters like Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones in it, go fishing, or just sail the ocean at your heart’s content, which is really fun because controlling the ship is really immersive. You have to manually, steer the ship, aim the sails into the wind and put them up and down, weight the anchor, repair the ship with planks of wood, load the cannons , all while looking out for skeletons and sea monsters or rival pirates wanting to take your loot. It is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Alright, I’m hopping off my soap box now lol
Gameplay and graphics make it look like it's intended for pubescent children
