10 Broken Games That Are GOD-TIER Now
7. Sea Of Thieves
When you are making a purely online game, the first thing - the primary thing, one could say - that you have to get right is making sure the connection remains stable across the board. Especially for an online game like Sea of Thieves, which requires you and your friends to be working in tandem to keep your ship running. Unfortunately, that was the biggest issue many players had with Rareware's pirate title upon release.
But even beyond that, the game was just flat-out empty for the first few months of its life. The primary goal of becoming a pirate legend required months of boring grinding through repetitive battles. Sea of Thieves was just not interesting enough to commit to for the first stretch of its life.
Fortunately, the game has more than turned things around in the time since. Now, not only are the connection issues basically fixed across the board, but the updates have stuffed the game to bursting with things to do with your pals as you traverse the seven seas. It helps that the core gameplay loop of Sea of Thieves was always solid and fun, unlike the more recent Skull and Bones - which is missing many features that Sea of Thieves had at launch.
With better online connection and loads of more stuff to do, Sea of Thieves is one of the most fun online games out right now.
