Xbox One, PC; Rare/Microsoft Teamwork makes the game in this gorgeous pirate adventure, whether you’re fighting the Kraken or chasing pigs. But then the fun starts to ebb away
There are moments of astonishing beauty in pirate adventure Sea of Thieves. As the sun falls, it becomes a giant fireball on the horizon, silhouetting the craggy cliffs of some distant island. Although the visual style is painterly rather than naturalistic, it gives each moment warmth. You may not feel as if you’re really out on the open waves, but you wish you were.
