I have never been a very prolific player in the multiplayer sections. Yes, I have played my good games at FIFA, Rocket League or Uncharted, but the truth is that there has always been a competitive approach. However, Sea of Thieves is the complete opposite case and it transforms me every time I sail with my friends.
Rare’s heyday is long past, but to Caesar what belongs to Caesar: his ocean adventure is one of the best multiplayer games made in recent years. The spirit of the title invites you to do nothing more than jump into the ocean and discover what awaits beyond the horizon. Of course, you can come across this almost infinite experience en Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC, with Xbox Cloud Gaming support included.
The pirate life is the best life
One of the great virtues of Sea of Thieves is that you don’t need to know pr actically anything to have fun. You will appear in a tavern on some lost island by the hand of Poseidon and your ship is waiting at the dock for you to launch into the sea. Well you can navigate by yourself with an appropriate boat, but the best thing is that you have a few grumetillos around you to be able to navigate properly.
And it is that yes, the title loses part of its grace if you are not accompanied, because you will need a friend holding the helm, another worried about the orientation of the sails and a third observing from the mast what the horizon draws. Coordination is essential to take advantage of it to the capricious wind that blows in different directions or to know when to drop the anchor to stop the ship in its tracks.
Of course, the fun on board isn’t just limited to watching the clouds go by. The images offered by the game are fabulous, with a recreation of water like rarely seen in a video game and enclaves full of beauty, both day and night.

You can fulfill that childhood dream in Sea of ThievesAlthough you will have to annihilate all the obstacles that come your way.
For this you have an arsenal made up of a sword and a firearm.

Fire can be devastating to your opponents, but keep in mind that you are not exactly fireproof.
