Right: Water
Things Sea of Thieves Gets Right and Wrong
No matter your feelings on the content and mechanics of the game, Rare’s water technology is unquestionably magnificent. As you’re sailing the high seas it’s easy to get distracted just watching the movement of the waves, especially as the sun sets or rises, and its rays splash over the ocean.
The water technology in the game is so good that Microsoft offered it to PUBG Corp. to implement in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds before the game was released on Xbox One.
Wrong: Group Size
Things Sea of Thieves Gets Right and Wrong
While teamwork and socializing are some of the greatest things about Sea of Thieves, the limitations on crew size is a major downside for anyone with a group larger than four people.
While having a battalion of ships would certainly make a group of people overpowered, there could be some middle ground to be explored between that, and only having one-ship crews. Allowing a couple of Sloops to fight alongside a Galleon would be a great way to up the ante of combat with single Galleons no longer being the king of the sea. This would force larger crews to wonder if the Sloop on the horizon has backup before engaging it.
