Play Sea of Thieves as a female.

Dang this looks SO close to what I’d want. It’s just missing big ass creatures.

I don’t have the answer to your question, but I 100% agree. The best space shooter campaign game to date. The creator’s latest (Chorus) had a FEEL of Freelander, but it felt really shallow, despite ostensibly being more mechanically complex. And the story was decidedly not compelling.

I dunno why no one, even the creator, can recreate the magic. But I guess that’s just a testament to how good the magic was.

Sea of Thieves. Always.
