What to consider

Summarized by AI

Sea of Thieves players want a shared pirate world with no assigned roles, where other crews might turn up at any moment. These picks branch out: Blazing Sails keeps the pirates and naval fights, Don't Starve Together and Far Cry 4 offer exploration, and Liar's Bar and Killing Floor 2 lean on people.

1. Killing Floor 2

Best for crews who want an action co-op game with a PvP side.

88 votes

Co-op teamwork and the chance of fighting other players carry over. The setting changes to an outbreak spreading across continental Europe, with specimen clones everywhere and civilization in disarray. Expect action-heavy co-op with a PvP side.

Standout features

  • Online co-op action
  • Europe outbreak setting
  • PvP side

2. Don't Starve Together

Best for friends who like gathering, crafting and surviving as one group.

184 votes

If the open world and teamwork were your draw, this brings both to a strange wilderness. Players fight, farm, build and explore together, gathering resources to craft items and structures that suit how they want to survive. The mood is stranger and more hostile than a sunny sea, so plan for odd creatures and hidden dangers.

Standout features

  • Craft items and structures
  • Strange hostile wilderness
  • Standalone multiplayer expansion

3. Far Cry® 4

Best for explorers who like choosing between stealth and explosive approaches.

67 votes

Open-world exploring carries over, on land and with more attention to the arsenal. You pick tools from silent crossbows to rocket launchers, go stealthy or loud, and move across the mountains and forests of Kyrat, billed as the most vertical Far Cry world yet.

Standout features

  • Crossbows to rocket launchers
  • Vertical Kyrat terrain
  • Stealth or explosive play

4. Blazing Sails

Best for pirate crews who want a contest with a winner and a leaderboard feel.

35 votes

Here the pirate fantasy gets sharper and more competitive. A Treasure Hunt mode sends your crew across islands for chests to turn in at outposts, while Battle Royale mixes sword fights on land with naval battles where you sink every rival crew.

Standout features

  • Treasure Hunt mode
  • Naval battle royale
  • Crew customization

5. Liar's Bar

Best for groups who enjoy reading each other more than sailing anywhere.

231 votes

A smaller table, with the bluffing turned up. Four players sit in a bar in first-person and play on deception and mind games, which echoes the way trust shifts between crews at sea, minus the sails and the map. It is a small, social alternative when the group wants to sit down and talk instead of sail.

Standout features

  • Table of four
  • Deception and mind games
  • First-person bar setting
