10 Video Games That Only Became Great After Updates

5. Sea Of Thieves

GTA online
Rare

There aren’t many pirate-based games released, a fact that I and others find disappointing. There are even less good pirate-based games released. Sea of Thieves was and is a good pirate game. Unfortunately, upon release, it was a very repetitive pirate game.

When the game was released, it was praised for its style and gameplay elements, such as sailing the ship and the elements of exploration. It was also criticised for lack of content and repetitiveness. It is very interesting to sail out to a desert island, shoot the animated skeletons and find the buried treasure, it’s just not as fun the 20th time.

Luckily for Sea of Thieves Rare would keep updating this game. The inclusions of Krakens, Megalodons, and new collectables would help stop the repetitiveness present. A big content drop came with the anniversary update, where a story and a standalone PVP mode was added.

Here’s hoping they keep this wonderful game going.
