Sea of Thieves is the UK’s best-selling game, but people can’t stop moaning about it
The highly-anticipated game for Xbox and PC has left would-be pirates cold over a lack of stuff to do in its massive open world
PEOPLE aren't happy with new Xbox and PC pirate adventure Sea of Thieves.
But arriving on a tidal wave of hype, the game has leaped to the top of the charts.
On Twitter, people have pointed to the game's repetitive gameplay, a lack of things to do, with some noting that it feels like an unfinished game.
Sea of Thieves is an online multiplayer pirate game that sees gamers make and join crews and set sail for hidden treasure.
The title comes from Rare, the British studio behind Nintendo classics GoldenEye 007 and Banjo-Kazooie.
Other users chimed in by saying the game should have cost half its current £42 price tag.
"It's not even worth $30. There's nothing in this game," said Reddit user r/_DryvBy_.
"Most of my enjoyment of the game has come from “off the cuff” moments my friends and I have created. Theres not alot of direction or progression from the game itself," noted r/Djfail.
The game's critical reception has been mixed too, with reviews aggregation site Metacritic giving it a score of 71 out of 100 based.
The consensus seems to be that the game's beautifully realised open world isn't populated with enough interesting quests.
But the backlash hasn't stopped it from sailing to the top spot on the UK game charts in a week that was dominated by new releases.
Four out of the top 5 titles were fresh, including A Way Out, Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom and Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered.
