“Cute game for chill evenings. It kinda remind me of Stardew Valley in term of building your base, a little bit of raft when collecting resources and exploring. It is repetitive but I believe if you play this with…”
“The game leans into a "rewarding good decisions" philosophy rather than punishing mistakes, and that makes a huge difference in how it feels to play. No hunger meter nagging you every five minutes: food gives you buffs…”
“Really fun to play with friends. So many different islands to discover and recipes to unlock. The animals are very cute as well. A really good couple game or even one to play alone. Still in EA. The combat is really…”

“A very boring game with a lot of repetition. I played for 24 hours and maybe explored a quarter of the map, I was probably only a third of the way through the story. It was boring. On the plus side, the music was great.”

“One of the best base building games I have played in a long time. Really gives that stuck in the sky vibe and is wonderful. Pros... Player Save is seperate from world save. This means that you can continue your game…”

“I can't recommend this game currently. It just gets boring so fast. The gameplay loop is very repetetive and you are kinda missing a motivation / goal. The "main goal" is to collect some fruits from tree's you have to…”

“Kind of not fun. The game runs like ♥♥♥♥ after some graphics update, and building structures on uneven terrain is difficult and frustrating. Its a cool concept and the flying is fun, but they need to fix the game. it…”

“Not ready for the primetime. Unstable network with regular disconnects, horribly unoptimized single-threaded processing with intense lags around large structures: I've seen 20 FPS on my system regularly, without either…”

“Loved Raft, spent 112 hours in the game - this game is so bad I don't see how it could have possibly been made by the same company. Only spent 6 hours in it over a year ago - tried again today, rolled a new character,…”
“love the game kind of upset i lost my save with a past update. ill probably pick it back up if it gets released on Xbox and has crossplay enabled”
“played this on release for quite some time and, although it was buggy was amazing me and my friends had a blast.”

“My husband and I play this online with our 2 kids--aged 7 and 10. There is some swordplay for my 7 year old and adorable animals for my 10 year old. Dad and I can build and explore and no one ever "dies" so no one ever cries. Great game. 5 stars with rice.”
— a player, Steam review · 78 hrs played“This game has a lot of potential. Pros: the art style is neat, the worlds are very beautiful and flight-themed of course. The sound of the wind, the effect of the wind in the grass, the light on the trees, gorgeous and relaxing. Cons: the avatar. Worst avatar I've seen in a game…”
— a player, Steam review · 168 hrs played“I would not currently recommend this game at full price, but it could be worth it on sale. If you enjoy being rewarded for exploration and delving into a game, this isn't the game for you. If you want to build a pretty base and not do much else, this game will work, but you…”
