About a month ago, I was in the throes of mono with a continous three weeks of fever which kept me away from work. During that time, I discovered and started to play Sea of Thieves, the open world pirate game from Rare which came with my Windows/Xbox gamepass.
What actually drew me in was the feeling of just sailing the boat through the waves which just feels great and very immersive. I'd never played a game with somewhat realistic ocean physics and feel before. You can even get sea sick, like for real. Brilliant! Supposedly the game was a bit thin in terms of content when it debuted, but we're now 8 seasons in and there's been more than enough to do to keep me interested. I've also been playing it a bit with my 6 year old who's a great bilge rat, repairing the boat and feeding our pets while I do the battling and heavy lifting.
It's a lot of fun!
