When it comes to big games on the Xbox One - which is to say, games that aren't available on the PlayStation 4 - the list is pretty short.
This week's launch of "Sea of Thieves" is an outsized addition to that list.
Rare/Microsoft
The game looks this good, no joke.
Over 20 years after Rare created classics like "Goldeneye 007" and "Perfect Dark" for Nintendo, the veteran game studio is back with something completely different: A massive, open-world pirate game that's only on the Xbox One and PC.
And with "Sea of Thieves," Microsoft has an amibitious new addition to its list of console exclusive games.
It's an online-only game, meaning you can only play the game in an open world full of other pirates (actual human players). The game never holds your hand, instead depending on players to teach each other and themselves how to play. And there's no one narrative - the story of the game is what happens while you take on and complete quests.
In my brief few hours with it so far, I've found a lot of promise and charm in "Sea of Thieves." Here's why I think you should give it a shot.
