Tough to rate this one as I only ever played with strangers, which really seems to hamstring how much enjoyment you can get out of this. I got through a few quests but realized I would only get further if some friends joined me. It does seem very fun when everyone's working together. Maybe some day?

UPDATE: I finally played with my friends, and the results were mixed. At times when the whole crew was working in tandem to sail and hunt for buried treasure I had a lot of fun, and there were moments in the game that had us just laughing our butts off- watching my crewmates run around drunk and puke all over each other while I steered the ship being a personal favorite. Unfortunately for a game that's been out for years and has received constant updates since then, this was still glitchy as hell, which killed our momentum several times. I'm guessing that's the last I'll play of Sea of Thieves, the 3 star rating doesn't change.
