"Sea of Thieves isn’t a great game, or even one that I plan on playing for much longer, but I have absolutely loved my time with it over the past few days. It’s an experience built with companionship in mind, largely based around the concept of four friends voyaging together on a massive galleon ship. This opens the door to role playing, goofing around, and simply hanging out in a simulated world. Playing with a crew is a lot of fun, particularly when everybody is well-coordinated and willing to work together as a team, but I’ve found an appreciation for sailing the high seas alone. I get a feeling of loneliness and isolation when sailing my personal sloop, which is meditative and rewarding in its own right."
The latest US sales data is out, and while hardware may be down for the big 3, software is ruling the day, including Stellar Blade topping the charts
Must be weird for Xbox fans to see Sea Of Thieves at number 4 on the NPD charts
Well, would you look at that Sony! Guess there’s an audience after all for this stuff.
I wonder where the change from "NPD" to "Circana" ranks on the chart of lamest rebrands? And yes I know it changed awhile ago it just annoys me every time I see it.
Stellar Blade deserves it, it's just a gorgeous well-optomized working right out of the box game. Would plat all over again.
Last month’s most downloaded games chart features newcomers and old favorites alike.
A sign that xbox will become 3rd party in the future since there games sell better on playstation
Love to see Stellar blade selling well. 2nd only to helldivers 2 in the US. Currently going for that platinum.
Where the F is Rebirth?! I wonder if people just don't know it's the sequel to remake. It is too good to be overlooked.
`Court writes, "Sea of Thieves can be whatever the player wants, which is part of the game's magic."
Agree. But $60 for a meditation simulator? Yeah, nah.
I think this game is awesome. I feel that it’s rare to not have some sort of tension while playing. I’ve never played alone so I cannot speak to that but if you have a 2 man or 4 man crew you are gonna have fun. There always seems to be another ship on the horizon and every night when I’m done playing I have a story to tell people the next day.
