The headline you clicked on to get into this article is not hyperbole: by Keepsake’s own definition – and one that I’d co-sign after playing the game for myself – Jump Ship is a clear mix of Sea of Thieves, Left 4 Dead, and FTL. The Sea of Thieves piece comes from the fact that you and your three teammates all work together to fly, upgrade, customize, and maintain a single spaceship. One of you flies it, while the others can wander around inside of it or even on the outside of it if you pass through an airlock and then use your magnetized boots to stomp around the hull, manning, fixing, or upgrading the ship’s cannons. That in and of itself is fun.
I mean with safer seas and diving direct to content, yeah. I solo sloop a lot and it’s absolutely doable from a mechanics perspective. With void crew and this game it doesn’t look like one player really CAN fly a ship around and feel like a space adventurer. In SoT you absolutely can solo play and feel like a pirate.
Void crew is a version of this playable today. You can definitely play solo but nothing really comes close to how easy a game like SoT is to play solo
Oh yeah, nothing says “easy solo play” quite like Sea of Thieves.

PvP is harder of course but at least possible.
