There’s no character progression, no skills, no weapon upgrades, no crafting or equipment upgrades for your ship, not even craftable banana sandwiches! Once you own your favorite character outfit and ship equipment, there’s not much else to crave for. It is a shame because, if you’re like me, you dress like a very sleazy pirate (in fact, that’s the only way a pirate should dress like!). Unfortunately, in Sea of Hats you are only able to buy cosmetic items! Indeed, a gold hoarder like you needs to spend all of your hard earned money on something. HA! The next time you encounter those pirates you’ll impress them with your brand new hat! Hats, hats everywhere! Selling the cursed Captain’s Chest earns you just the money you needed to buy that fancy hat that you were dreaming of. The sails are being raised and the battered ship will soon be safely parked at the dock. It’s probably best to grab this opportunity and rush towards the nearest outpost and sell the treasure chest as quickly as possible before they dispatch the giant fish and catch up to you again!Īs you move away from the battle you feel a strong sense of relief! He falls to the ground and you rush to the helm and steer away from that despicable pirate’s ship.Īpparently, in the midst of battle, they started being attacked by a mythical giant shark!
You grab your pistol and BAM! shoot him in the empty eye socket! The enemy clearly has an advantage now that he has hit you but… dang it… you’re a pirate too! Rules mean little to you! He hits you once… twice! But you still breathe! Putting the sword at an angle blocks his next attack and he is pushed back with a surprised stance! All you can do is evade the massive sword spam. The dirty pirate lunges straight at you with very fast swings. The request doesn’t really make much sense… but you rush to your sword and the fight begins. You turn around and a strange wood-legged pirate stands next to you. The enemy cannons are roaring outside! You need to hurry the repairs and come back up to divert your ship from their firing lines! You rush to the lower deck to fix the geiser-like holes in the hull of your ship. *CRUSHCRACKSHHWSHSPSH!!!* – Your ship is being rammed from the side by a massive galleon. Still dreaming of the brand new hat that you’ll be able to buy with all that money, you fail to notice the dark sails that approach your ship from the East. It must be worth a fortune – you say to yourself!
Once you are on your ship and you lower the ship’s sails it gently picks up speed and you wave at the skeletons that can’t figure out how to swim to get to you. When you hear the * clikety clack* that the banana-eating skeletons make while trying to catch you shiver slightly, but that doesn’t stop you. You can’t hit them while holding your precious chest… so you run back to your ship! Now there’s a horde of skeletons rushing towards you.
Your grin turns to grimace when you realize that you’ve angered the lost souls protecting that cursed chest! That wood casket is sure to bear all sorts of precious metals and gems! You dig, dig, dig …until you hear a loud *THUMP!*. The game peppers the seas with tiny curious islands and it gives you a map or a riddle that you need to figure out in order to find a treasure chest. Sea of Thieves feels like a simple game (maybe a wee bit too simple?). It really conveys a lighthearted, sunny and happy swashbuckling experience …an extreme opposite to the surprisingly gruesome Warhammer: Vermintide 2! It features very clean and appealing graphics (unlike Atlas. Sea of Thieves is a predominantly co-op multiplayer game in a very large map where pirates, AKA players, roam the high water mountains in search for treasures, adventure and plunder.Īt first, what will really strike you is the graphic style of the game. Both compete for the prestigious PopcornGamer title of being the best co-op game of 2018. Well I got good news for you, the aspiring pirate!īoth Sea of Thieves and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 were released on the same month of March in 2018.
