Based on a couple days on the open seas, "unpredictable" is the best way I can describe Sea of Thieves. There have been some surprising highs when the game's potential shone through and made me eager to forge ahead in search of riches and mayhem. There have also been depressing lows that made me dread having to continue. There are some facets I've yet to experience; I haven't completed a raid, nor have I come close to maxing out my reputation with any of the world's three factions. Needless to say I will press on, but there's already a lot on my mind despite how shallow the overall experience is.
