How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Sea of Thieves
A crew of friends sails a shared sea hunting for treasure and fighting skeletons and other players. Hoisting sails, bailing water and playing the accordion together is the essence. The best stories happen on their own.
