A pirate game to the hectic life

The game Sea of ​​thieves is played through the hectic life of a pirate party at the conquest of the surrounding islands. Its objective is to find fabulous treasures but also of plunder enemy ships with the sole purpose of becoming rich and famous beyond the seas and oceans.

The adventure begins in a shabby and dusty tavern. What could be more natural for an reputationless pirate?

It is from this moment that the character must make your roadmap, specific to all sailors. He will also reunite all your crew to sail with the galleon in order to travel therich and wide universe proposed by Sea of ​​thieves. In this vast world, the player has to travel more than 60 islands to the secrets and mysteries with multiple puzzles to solve.

Access game on the cooperation 

The title is largely more accessible to gamers wishing to play cooperatively than solo players. It is indeed difficult to have a head everywhere. The other galleons have crews with multiple players and are more difficult to conquer (for example, the angle of the sails can be adjusted more easily with two players).

A solo adventure may quickly reduce your stay on the seas. Your ship will be looted more regularly before reaching an outpost (to validate quest treasures).

However, with a cooperative game, you will have to learn to team working. Some players will take care of the 360 ° vigilance around the ship, while others will guide the ship at the time of the attacks. The objective is to fulfill contracts for one of 3 game companies:

  • Gold collectors who accept chests and golden objects.

  • The merchant alliance who buy your captured creatures (chickens or snakes). You will need to identify them and then capture in a limited time, which will not be easy.

  • The Order of Souls who will you fight for skeleton orders as well as captains. As soon as they are defeated, you will regain access to the loot.

Once sold, they will report to players ingold and experience points. These will also allow you to win more juicy contracts and of discover new hideouts.

Regarding guilds, there are 3 guilds within the outposts, similar to cities where it is possible to replenish weapons, cannonballs, and bananas..etc. They also allow retrieve quests ((sometimes in the form of riddles), indicating thelocation of a treasure. They are not simple and your sense of logic will be in order.

A repetitive play and lacking interactivity

The main critic of Sea of ​​thieves is the repetitive side of the game. Indeed, it will very often be necessary to go from point A to point B to complete a mission, then return to point A to validate your loot. Thetoo linear appearance of this opus associated with the missions which are linked one after the other will be able tire some players.

The second review concerns the lack of interactivity. Of many islets are void of items or quests, which can tire some players hungry for dynamic action and cards full of secrets. Indeed, a number of explorations will yield nothing at all. It is not uncommon to find yourself pacing the map in a graphically detailed universe But devoid of interest for the game.

The cooperation mode, best way to move forward?

This opus is aimed more at players wishing to have fun while cooperation :

  • AT 4 players to navigate on a galleon with two masts.

  • A crew of 2 players who will sail on a sloop (small vessel) more manageable and without the need to run to manage a multitude of parameters.

In order to communicate as well as possible, the game offers a interface to brandish a parchment, a watch or a compass. This feature allows give a clear directive to your colleagues to achieve common goals. For example, by exposing the watch when time is limited, the message is that you don't have time to attack a crew if you want to hit your loot. We also notice a wide range of expressions to display standard phrases.

On the map, we will find up to 16 players moving simultaneously on the map. In confrontations with other teams, if you are defeated, you lose all winnings present on the boat. You will then have to flee if your earnings are high.

 All united, for the best and especially for the worst?

The game Sea of ​​thieves rather pleasant. At times, events will appear where all previously enemy players will be able to unite in the quest for the same goal. As an example, when a sign with a skull will appear offshore, all nearby galleons will be notified that a huge treasure awaits them. But they will have to together, face the waves of impressive enemies and kill the skeleton leader. The point is tounite to be stronger against a large number of enemies.

However, as soon as the booty is captured, it is your responsibility to decide whether to share it or not.Thus, it is not uncommon to see some players wait for the galleons to return from their mission, for the sole purpose of steal their loot.

This is also what Sea of ​​Thieves, simple rules but also the freedom given everyone to strike at any time and without apparent rules.

A Easy gameplay but …

We appreciate a very easy to access gameplay without complex tutorial and long enough to take in hand. The majority of actions are easily carried out and weapons are accessible from the start of the game.

However, it is regrettable that the main awards have a purely visual and unattractive. The gameplay can seem simplistic and may tire more seasoned players.

A game at detailed graphics 

The graphics represent the perfection on the playful side Game mixing finely detailed cartoons and universes. The most beautiful representation is located at sea ​​level and some shady swell sometimes.

Everything is halfway between a AAA title and a game like Zelda Breath of the Wild. We also appreciate the wide palette of colors used reminiscent of films like Pirate of the Caribbean (warm sandy beaches, turquoise sea, many galleons, parrots and the drunk pirates of rum).

Moreover, the elements of customizations will delight fans ofvisual effects. Indeed, all elements are customizable like the clothing, the weapons and the ships.

THE VERDICT OF ELECTROGUIDE 

Sea of ​​Thieves video game

The Sea of ​​Thieve game is appreciated for your graphic universe Between cartoon and fine details. The title is rather " fun " and the cooperative missions require a good timing to be performed correctly and successfully.

However, we can make some criticisms such as overly repetitive actions, the travel time who drag on and some bugs. Our opinion remains mixed.

In addition, the solo mode is almost impossible to carry out the missions, as the galleons have a power higher than ours. That’s why it’s more of a cooperative game which remains very pleasant provided you play with friends.

So sailor, ready to hoist the mainsail?
