“Got this game from a bundle, and wow what a gem! This thing, however buggy and unfinished in a lot of ways, is already the best game I've played in a long, long time. Took me a couple days of casual grinding to "beat…”
“This game is a fun 2 full days of play in order to complete and perfect. I agree with some of the other reviews that there are some parts that seem unfinished and it's easy to get lost and have no assistance on how to…”
“A pretty entertaining, but ill-explained game at the moment. It feels an awful like it's still in development. There are quest items that aren't explained that you need for the main quest, but you can kind of assume…”

“The game has pretty good progression. It has many islands and places to explore along with buildings unique to each place. It also is a very cozy game. Although I recommend this game, it has some negative parts like…”

“Initially had the game for free from the other platform with more than 50 hours of game time (yeah, I can end it but not chose to). It's fascinating watching your colony automating tasks to keep them alive.”

“Just kinda very hard and grindy without much payoff, I never really felt I achieved something (I had early excitement and then some excitement about under the water but it wore off quick)”
“Game is fun for awhile. A little feel of Raft turned into a kind of settlement builder. Game is fun yes but until I reached underwater part. I was excited when i was tasked to build a submarine! Thought it would be…”
“not bad, just rather directionless. I think the systems here are good, but I don't like how oddly restricted you are with building platforms, it's not like a challenge or issue, just the way it establishes you can build…”

“Love the pace and build up. At first managing seems quick then as your settlement gets bigger there are a lot of fine-tuning to do, that's when you start to feel a bit lost.”
“Not everything was completely clear, but everything went smoothly. Good thing the game ended before my last FPS disappeared.”

“I bought this for the soon™ multiplayer update, played it solo and yeah - it is a game. $5 or less”
“Decent game it just needs polish. It should still be in early access imo buy it when its on sale.”
“I liked it. Get it on Sale. It's rough. This feels like an almost complete game. Like sand is used to make both Glass and Clay. The fishing village people only eat booze. No food. and the booze comes from kegs that just…”

“Fun game yes, worth close to a days worth of play, but quickly spirals into insanity and grueling grind by late game. Yes, of course I need to farm coffee to fund expeditions to cotton island to get cotton to make paper to create lanterns to prove my allegiance to the moon bunny…”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“As others have stated the game feels unfinished at the moment. Some Islands that are there and seemingly made are just empty. By that I mean that there is a big house with an inside all mapped out, but there is nothing there. I'm 18 hours in (re-started, so 2 attempts) and I…”
— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“The game simply doesn't seem finished. Starts strong, early game has a really smooth gameplay loop that's very satisfying, but the further along you go the messier things get. By the time you're halfway through the game things start feeling less like rough edges and more like…”
