Sea Of Thieves: A Pirate's Life Review - Dead Men Tell Five Tales
The thieves often occur at the best when he devolves into chaos. After robbing the skeleton ship and loading your brig with a booty, suddenly, a Galleon player appears from behind an island, turning the cannon towards you for a sneak attack. Returns the fire, repairs your ship, and desperately rotates your screen to escape - or shoot the crew to the enemy to dispose of waste to them and steal their items - is a moment that makes the game live a rare pirate adventure so impressive.
But don't discount rare abilities to make content in and smart too. Since its launch, the sea of thieves has come to include high stories, long trips centered on solving puzzles, and learning about non-player characters that form lore games. It's in a more directional and narrative-based realm that is the latest expansion, pirate life, lies too.
Binding with Disney pirates from the Caribbean film franchise, expansion gives a new story to reveal that both are quite fun for film fans and garden themes of attraction that gave birth to them, as well as large, involving a new sea of thieves to explore.
The life of a pirate adds a lot to the sea of thieves, expanding the sandbox with new enemies and new weapons while giving a few hours of story content that is deep enough to be enjoyed and approachable enough for beginners to sail with Jack Sparrow. Even though it was detained occasionally with bugs and depending on several oceans of weaker elements, such as hitchy platforming, expansion was a good reason for humans-led pirate ships.
The core of the pirate life is five stories of new high stories, who follow the pirates from the mainstay of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow and their crew. Through some adventures, film characters have found their way into a strange and mystical video game world, but they have been chased there by Davy Jones, magical pirates from the Caribbean criminals. Jones wants to control the ocean of thieves, so you need to save Jack from the realm of the dead (called the damned ocean), find out Jones's plan, and finally, send a squid-faced criminal to where he belongs to preserving the main freedom of the pirate life.
Playing through the five stories takes you to the damned ocean itself, a new location full of puzzles and secrets, and the kingdom of Sunken, a colorful underwater realm. The high stories themselves are generally linear stories that are quite linear, but like other thieves, they do a great job to challenge you to explore the environment, solve puzzles, and navigate imaginative areas. At first, for example, you have to save the head of the undead, captain of the skeleton pirate, and you can reveal the secrets throughout the area by placing his head to the body of the skeleton so he can control it.
Of course, this is a pirate from the Caribbean story, so you will spend a lot of duration that encountered various film characters. Jack Sparrow is mostly, and he is a pretty pleasant addition to the game, bringing lots of humor and sometimes even helps you in fighting against various enemies and creatures sent to stop you.
The presence of Sparrow helps MELD inspire Disney pirate life with an ocean of Thieves Foundation, which helps ensure that content does not feel like unrest that is unwarranted to other franchises. He is a funny, unique character of the film, but he is also quite useful at some of the main moments, even joining your crew for a while towards the end of the Tales series. He is already enough to make this feel like a pirate from the Caribbean story, while also working as a sea of thieves. It's a balance that can be difficult to find but rarely does a great job to mix two properties to make a pleasant redirection of your usual pirate escapades.
Pirate life is also a good entry point for new players. Because most of the stories take place from their path or in their case, you can't meet other players who might try to steal your belongings, sink your ship, or troublesome you. The stakes are also quite low - every time you die, you just respawn again in the same place in the Tales story (the valued change of how the rest of the game handles dying, which puts you on your ship or, if it sank, in the nearest post). It makes this content good enough to start in the sea of thieves, or for players alone who want to explore the game without a crew but don't like the risk of losing a lot of progress to other players.
The shortcomings are that pirate life does not feel like the remainder of the sea of thieves; This is more a separate thing. In other games, sailing around requires constant vigilance when you scope for other pirates that have the potential to decide to involve you in battle (or, in a rather rare case). The openness of the game and the randomness provided by other players is what the thief makes the thief so pleasant and unique.
Pirate life doesn't enter that aspect; Even though there are side puzzles to solve and issued to reveal, the stories are traditional and traditional video games. You will move through different levels on a particular path, and while there is no direct point that leads you, there is still one road ahead.
So entering the sea of thieves for the first time through the life of the pirate is not enough to give you a sense of core experience, or the taste that gives you incomplete without other players. It can be good and bad because the life of the pirate makes it easier for you to water than pushing you from the board, but it can also give the perception of what the game is. And if you are looking for higher stories that make you sail in all sea thieves, driven by unclear instructions, and explore the world you already know, you will be disappointed; These levels are large and complete properly, but they are more independent.
High stories for pirate life are also slightly on the buggy side when launched, although they rarely released patches to handle some of these problems. It is also easy to get lost and confused at the big level or to experience strangeness that affects the game like falling from high places and finding yourself stuck behind the locked door that you have opened.
During the boss's battle in the second high story, I used the pulley system to lift a high shipwreck in the air to raise the cannon to my enemy - but a mid-fight, I was eliminated from the deck and was killed. When I returned, the ship came out of the position and could not be moved, but the fight continued, with Cannonballs now photographed directly in the air and passed the body of the boss. The mistake subsided several deaths later, but for a while there, the battle was a mess that could not be finished.
I played through all five fairy tales and did not find the game-broken problem, although the experience was rather damaged by the problem and the checkpoint mentioned above did not load correctly. Also easy to get lost thanks to the sea of thieves' Lack of guidance - something that makes the game interesting when you come out in the full world, but that can be annoying when you are stuck in a room trying to find out where the game expects you to go next.
In addition to some problems, a high tale pirate is pleasant enough to play, even alone. They feel a little easy and low bets, which cut stories that are rare to tell about criminals who threaten the world. But it's nice to have something you can jump into it's fun to play but doesn't involve the potential of the sea of thieves' ordinary risk gifts.
Apart from new stories, the other result of the pirate life is the way it revives the rest of the game. The high stories you will play introduce a group of new enemies. On land, there are three types of creatures called seaworthy - giant armored crabs, poisonous shell monsters, and electric eel enemies.
All three require different strategies to be defeated, and they can synergize their ability to add additional challenges. There are also new ghost pirates who can disappear and reappear to handle large damage, and underwater sirens that make jumping from your ship are increasingly dangerous. To help you handle these threats, you can find new items called Trident of Dark Tides, which demands to fire energy bubbles that can destroy the enemies of AI and other players.
This addition is part of the stories about expansion stories, but you don't need to play the story to experience it - they also come out on the remainder of the thieves, and they injected several variations Welcome to the sandbox. For most of the game life, players have combed various types of skeletal pirates, all of which do battle in more or less the same way, thus throwing some new creatures for a little less.
And if you can find it in the world, the Trident of Dark Tides also places new weapons in your arms warehouse, creating a new strategy in battle. It all added a little more deeply into the sea of thieves to help make the game continue to feel like it evolved all the time.
The life of a pirate is a big addition, fun for the sea of thieves carrying lots of new content, full of fun elements for Disney pirate enthusiasts, and refreshing the rest of the game with smart addition. It was not enough to represent the best of what the sea of thieves offered, but this was still a good reason to lift the pirate flag for the first time and offered a new horizon to explore for an old scale.
