Sea Of Thieves: A Pirate's Life - 10 Reasons You Need To Play

Another reason why A Pirate's Life is a great time to set sail on the high seas once again is because it features brand new areas for you to explore within a selection of the story-driven Tall Tales.

In the very first of these outings, for example, intrepid explorers will venture into the dreaded Sea Of The Damned and chance upon the eerie Sailor's Grave, a dilapidated town where the dead dwell. More areas await to be uncovered later in your adventure, but we won't spoil them here.

Each of these new locations is busting with details, lore, and secrets begging to be uncovered. Likewise, each location has its own distinct visual style and gameplay mechanics to help them stand out from the rest of the game.

And when you factor in the cinematic presentation of how each story beat is presented, Rare have more than certainly outdone themselves in the wow factor.

Even when you've completed the adventure, these areas are so distinct and full of secrets that it's recommended to returning to them again just to soak in even more of the scenery.
