Review: Sea Of Thieves

Review: Sea Of Thieves

Sprites and Dice — Sea of Thieves is like a seesaw; you can technically use it by yourself, but that's not what it's designed for. As a result, what I ended up getting out of it alone was boring, a little sad, and a lot of extra work.

A Fighter's Home

Atavist — Two men stand across from one another, surrounded by walls of linked fencing. No shoes, no shirt, just a pair of shorts and fingerless gloves. Their fists are ready for violence. Or is it art?
