Sea of Thieves is one of my favorite games... it's certainly not perfect though. My enjoyment in Sea comes from my close crew mates and friends around me. Completing voyages or taking on an ambitious fight with a Galleon can be really rewarding with a good crew. The skill ceiling can be quite high and while there is a ridiculous amount of content to go through, you can often struggle to find things to do as the content pool dries up. I can certainly say that Sea of Thieves is improving and is certainly a much better game than it was at launch, but it still has a ways to go to be a great experience for players of all kinds. I have a lot of respect for Rare for not abandoning ship after this game's lukewarm reception and it's crystal clear that they care very deeply about the game. That being said though, some of their decisions can be... puzzling. It's hard to recommend Sea to new players because of the skill ceiling and the sheer amount of content to do can be overwhelming.
