“This game is one of my favorite games of all time but I don't know what happened to it recently. Stuff has been disappearing. First it was my crude axe, then it was my refined knife, and then my entire f$%#ing pile of…”
“I'm having a lot of fun with this so far, I complain a lot but I'm getting better at it, it's a pretty tough survival game in its defense, being poisoned is not fun, if it happens too early you might as well start over,…”
“Its pretty fun if you like the survival genre. Great realism that makes you feel like you are actually stranded. I recommend purchasing this game (:”

“Its overall a fun game to play solo or even with freinds”
“it is a fun survival game with good challenges, but can get boring after a while. I saw a lot of comments about the connection for multiplayer being slow but the longest time it ever took me to connect was about two…”
“Love the sort of casual vibe of surviving in this game. Yes there are bugs, but in my full play through I didn’t notice a lot. Yes it can get boring when you just go from island to island. Follow the storyline. Now…”

“The ocean is stunning to look at, with crystal-clear waters and vibrant reefs, but beneath that beauty lies constant danger. Sharks patrol the waters around your fragile raft, thirst and hunger can catch you off guard,…”
“Beutiful & Vivid graphics yet basic & low GPU intensive. Object / land interactivity is boxy & basic but does not affect gameplay too much. Audio is also done well with impending doom & placid relaxing modes. Underwater…”
“Am avut parte sa explorez un joc minunat plin de fantezie si crabi mici care se cred prea pizdosi pentru marimea lor.Arata extrem de frumos si cam asta e singurul lucru bun pe care pot sa il spun. Craftingul e cat de…”

“This game had the potential to be my favorite game. Unfortunately this game is not a finished product. There are tons of issues around getting stuck, jump not responding to pressing the jump key, climbing onto the raft…”
“I like the game, needs updates to fix some bugs. BUT they need to fix multiplayer, if you are planning on buying this game and playing it with a friend, just dont.”
“So, at first glance, the game is good. It’s fun and entertaining, and it has some good features, but in the long run there are a lot of flaws. I just finished the platinum, and I saw many of them, like flying pigs,…”

“Not sure why so many positive comments here.. This game lacks so much content I cant even begin to enjoy it. This game only has about 5 hours of fun content. After that, I find myself getting bored since I have almost…”
“This is probably the best Island survival game out there (except for Don't starve:Shipwrecked and Raft, if you count it). And it sucks big time. But, unfortunately there is a big lack of competition for island survival…”
“I am so frustrated I bought this game. I want a refund, and this is a game I had wanted for years. Thought it would be good based on the games. I LOVE survival games, I have 770 hours in green hell for example... This…”

“Fun, a little grindy, but great atmosphere. Clean game, could use a little more realistic sharks that aren't as hostile.”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“Simple, intuitive, with a clear goal – survive, build, upgrade, and progress through your levels. Each level unlocks new items to craft, until the player eventually reaches a point where they realize that even this game, which at first seems like it could go on forever, actually…”
