Sea of Thieves on PlayStation 5 review You'll laugh, you'll sail, you'll drink grog until you're sick'

Over the past five years, however, developer Rare has added layer upon layer of extra content, from pets to fireworks to longer themed quests entitled Tall Tales, which are effectively games in their own right and include tie-ins with both The Secret of Monkey Island and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Now various tasks and adventures can be discovered wherever you go, in shipwrecks, caves and other scenic features, so it's possible to sail around in your boat, spotting interesting stuff and getting lost in side quests, like a pirate-themed version of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
