FIRST HOURS SAILING THE SEAS OF SEA OF THIEVES ALONE!
FIRST HOURS SAILING THE SEAS OF SEA OF THIEVES ALONE!
The day arrived, Sea of Thieves is already among us and I had the opportunity to sail the seas alone for a couple of hours looking for treasures, facing skeletons and knowing all the novelties that the game brings in its final version. For now the sensations are quite positive.
A world of novelties
A lot has rained since the beta of Sea of Thieves ended and this time I wanted to resume from where I finished the first time, sailing the seas alone and looking for all the news that the final version of the title can offer. In the first instance the most noticeable change is that we can choose our pirate, either from predesigned characters or use the designer, thus giving a more personal touch to the subject.
Once we have our avatar ready it's time to set sail. We start in a bar located in an outpost and there we can witness another of the novelties of the title, since this finally tells us what to do . During the beta everything was trial and error, but this time we already have messages indicating what to do and how to do it.
When we have clear the basic concepts, it is time to look for contracts and new developments are presented, since we have three companies available to negotiate our trips, one of them even wants to save all the pigs and chickens that are in the different islands and to my surprise, many islands are full of such animals.
Another novelty is related to the stores, all these are already available and the variety is a lot, from hairstyles, weapons, grapples, patches, wooden legs, ornaments for the boat, etc. The only thing there is that many products are quite expensive, so being a fashion pirate is not going to be an easy task.
Not as simple as before
At first the confrontations against skeletons in Sea of Thieves was very simple, normally they were one or two maximum per island, however, in this final version, the subject gets a little complicated and it is common that when we find a treasure, it comes accompanied by five or six enemies, many of them armed with pistols and swords, and if we give them time, they can be cured.
In addition to this, special missions, those where a cloud in the form of a skull is shown, are a real challenge, at least if you are playing alone. From the entrance from the island they shoot you with cannons, they even sank the ship and I had to swim. Once I could get the situation was further complicated, the enemies were many and very aggressive and to make matters worse, I bit a snake and poisoned me, so in the end I ended up in the ship of the damned.
I really liked the fact that the enemies are more difficult to face and it is clear that teamwork is very important, since the ammunition is not enough to face so many opponents and you have to be a real swordsman to end up with so many skeletons at the same time, which I clearly am not yet.
A lonely world
Unfortunately my adventure did not have confrontations with other enemies, during the almost three hours that I played I did not find any other ship to attack or any other pirate in any of the islands, not even in the outposts I could see another person. I think it was a matter of time or the fact that we were very few playing at the time.
Speaking of the world, the map of Sea of Thieves is still huge and quite varied. Already the different islands have new enemies, treasures, vegetation, animals and other elements that give much more life to the world. The best thing of all is that the navigation continues being a true pass, for me it is its strongest point.
Waiting for the arrival of more pirates
During my game the game never presented any kind of problem technically speaking , no lag, unexpected closures or bugs were present during the game, which makes it clear that so many test windows paid off. Of course that could happen because the number of players at the moment was not much.
Most likely, with the official release of the title, many more players are joining the games, so it is hoped that the situation does not deteriorate and we can have the same performance as the one that has been experienced during these first hours.
Many news in a very short time
I am happy with my first crossing in Sea of Thieves . From the beta to this final version there have been many changes and a few hours have been enough to notice much of them. I think I need many more to discover. What I do know is that sailing alone is a real challenge and I can not imagine what it will be like to face other enemies in that situation.
The most important thing is that despite the news, the game still feels fresh and fun and Rare promises that many more changes are on the way, so the theme looks very good. My only concern at the moment is the lack of players and that at some point I attack the Kraken.
