The Anniversary Update has added so much to Rare's big pirate adventure, but I still find myself struggling to fall in love with Sea of Thieves.
Sea of Thieves is one of the more controversial games in recent memory, at least in terms of polarization. I'm not sure I can recall a game that has created such a passionate reaction across the entire spectrum. People seem to either love Rare's pirate adventure or loathe it. And then there are a few people like me, who simply cannot figure out whether they actually like the game or not.
The Anniversary Update has made it even harder to figure out, adding piles of new content and intersecting mechanics. It's this update that really exemplifies what Rare has been gunning for since the game launched — hands-off adventures where players create the drama, rather than the game itself.
The new Tall Tales stories and PvP-focused Arena help to condense the adventure more succinctly than Sea of Thieves did at launch, but Sea of Thieves still exists on those polarizing extremes between euphoria and deep frustration. And wherever your adventure falls on that spectrum, the excitement in between is largely unique to Sea of Thieves, for better or worse.
