  • stability
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with many players reporting frequent bugs, glitches, and freezing issues, particularly in multiplayer mode. While some users experienced minimal problems and found the game enjoyable, the overall consensus highlights significant stability concerns that detract from the experience. Despite its fun gameplay, the numerous technical issues make it a frustrating choice for many players.

    • “I can't even refund it because after 4 hours of troubleshooting the game (trying to make a save) it was too late...”
    • “It's a scuffed clone of 'Raft', full of glitches, nothing works properly, not much content inside, terrible animations.”
    • “The problem is that it is extremely buggy.”
  • gameplay
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been described as simple and reminiscent of the game "Raft," featuring similar mechanics that can sometimes feel clunky or limited. While some players find it enjoyable and appreciate its crafting elements, others criticize it for bugs and a lack of depth compared to better-developed alternatives. Overall, there is hope for future updates to enhance gameplay with new mechanics.

    • “Great core idea and fun gameplay.”
    • “It's actually a good and fun and entertaining game; it has some good crafting mechanics too and new updates. I have always liked the old-fashioned sandbox game genre, and it seems that this has some very good potential.”
    • “I kind of like the concept of the survival game that borders the entire gameplay to staying alive on very limited space in the middle of the ocean.”
    • “There are several mechanics that can be clunky or don't work as intended.”
    • “Horrible game, so many bugs and ugly gameplay, I want a refund!”
    • “Extremely limited gameplay, very similar to another game that's much better developed.”
  • graphics
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them visually unappealing and glitchy, particularly on islands, while others appreciate the art style and colors. Performance issues are noted, especially on lower-end PCs, but some users are impressed with the game's ability to run smoothly despite these limitations. Overall, while the graphics may not be the game's strongest aspect, they still resonate positively with a segment of the player base.

    • “The reason I got this game in the first place was because my potato PC can barely get Raft to 30 FPS on the lowest graphical settings, so I tried this as an alternative, and I'm pretty impressed with the results.”
    • “I do enjoy the game in general and I like the colors and graphics used for this.”
    • “My little brother bought this game for me and personally I like the graphics more than any other raft game.”
    • “The graphics are painful to look at and it takes 2 hours just to bring one box in to grab.”
    • “I put up with so many terrible glitches and the ugly art style because I thought I was playing Raft.”
    • “Graphics glitch on the shark as it attacks.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story involves exploring mystery islands via kayak, with players gradually uncovering the narrative of how they ended up on a raft. While some users appreciate the realism and unfolding plot, others feel that the overall experience, including graphics, is lacking compared to similar games.

    • “You get to take a kayak to the mystery islands and learn how the story unfolds.”
    • “Thought I would save some money and buy this instead of 'Raft'... bad move. Moral of the story?”
    • “Graphics are half, story is half.”
    • “It is very realistic and it has a story to it about what happened and how you got on a raft.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unfulfilling, particularly after extended playtime, as they feel progress stalls due to a lack of engaging content. The repetitive nature of grinding for experience points to unlock new features leads to frustration, with many feeling they are stuck in a cycle of monotonous tasks.

    • “I don't mind grinding for the progress, but I just felt like I was getting nowhere.”
    • “There is not enough content to pass the time while gaining experience, and since leveling is the only way to unlock new stuff, you will just find yourself grinding the same pointless activities to speed it up.”
    • “It was okay, but after 11 hours, the progress was getting too tedious.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music aspect is notably lacking, with users highlighting the absence of any actual music, only basic sound effects related to gameplay. While it serves as a fun social platform for Discord parties, the lack of a musical score may disappoint those looking for a more immersive audio experience.

    • “Fun game for Discord parties to socialize, game, and play music.”
    • “This game has no music at all, just some rudimentary sounds on shark attacks and other stuff.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, particularly in the first couple of hours, where players find it notably funny. However, some users suggest that expectations should be tempered given the game's low price point of €4.

    • “The first 1-2 hours were quite funny.”
    • “Up to that, it was still somehow funny. What should you expect from a €4 game?”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews suggest that the monetization strategy may come across as a quick cash grab by the developers, raising concerns about the game's value and fairness to players.

    • “I am starting to think that maybe it was a quick cash grab for the dev.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is largely undermined by numerous bugs, which detract significantly from the overall enjoyment and immersive experience. Many users feel that the atmosphere is lacking to begin with, making the impact of these technical issues even more pronounced.
