About

Split across three hilarious Tall Tales packed with secrets and side-quests, Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island invites pirates to meet classic characters, in a new narrative that brings the iconic locations of Monkey Island to the Sea of Thieves. The adventure begins on Mêlée Island, where pirates can take in the sights, smells and roguish splendour of the island as they seek to uncover why everyone suddenly seems to think quite highly of self-proclaimed mighty pirate, and known poodle pacifier, Guybrush Threepwood. Something's quite clearly wrong...

To make one last (I promise!) comparison to A Pirate's Life: The Legend of Monkey Island is a more-polished but less-ambitious expansion. There aren't wild ripple effects that'll fundamentally alter the main game as you know it; that said, I don't think it's fair to expect that for every crossover with different priorities.

The pace is just a bit too slow, the multiplayer systems are not optimal, the dialogue lacks Gilbert's genius touch and Sea of Thieves is not created to be a point and click adventure game after all. Rare has done the best they can with what they got and I look forward to more of this, but it's mainly something charming for the fans rather than something that will make a new audience discover the wonderful world of the devious LeChuck and the beardless pirate Guybrush Threepwood.

Nowy dodatek do Sea of Thieves, chociaż jest niewątpliwie ukłonem w strone fanów legendarnego Monkey Island i pirackich klimatów, jest zarazem dodatkiem bardzo krótkim. Nowej zawartości mamy tu niewiele, na domiar złego całość koncentruje się na pozyskiwaniu informacji, więc mało tu walki. Myślę, że fani Monkey Island wyciągną z tego przede wszystkim atmosferę i przepiękne widoki w połączeniu z ciekawymi postaciami.
