  • Some players appreciate the game as a lighter alternative to the original Raft, especially for those with lower-end PCs.
  • The game is often criticized for being a buggy and poorly executed knockoff of the original Raft, with many players experiencing crashes and glitches.
  • There is a lack of content and direction, leading to repetitive gameplay and frustration, especially with the leveling system and resource management.
  • Many players feel misled by the game's title and marketing, believing they were purchasing the original Raft, only to find this is a cheap imitation.

  • stability

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with numerous users reporting significant bugs, glitches, and freezing issues that detract from the overall experience. While some players find enjoyment despite these problems, many describe the game as "buggy as hell" and a poor imitation of similar titles, leading to frustration and disappointment. Overall, stability remains a major concern, with calls for improvement evident throughout the reviews.

    • “Very buggy game, would not recommend.”
    • “It freezes and glitches a lot.”
    • “The problem is that it is extremely buggy.”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay is often compared to Raft, featuring similar mechanics that can be clunky and limited, leading to a somewhat repetitive experience. While some players find it enjoyable and appreciate its crafting elements, others criticize it for being a less developed clone of better games in the genre. Overall, there is potential for improvement with future updates, particularly in expanding gameplay mechanics.

    • “We look forward to future updates and hopefully the addition of more mechanics like electrical, engines, plumbing, and animal husbandry.”
    • “It's actually a good and fun game; it has some good crafting mechanics too. I have always liked the old-fashioned sandbox game genre, and this seems to have very good potential.”
    • “Great core idea and fun gameplay.”
    • “There are several mechanics that can be clunky or don't work as intended.”
    • “Extremely limited gameplay, very similar to another game that's much better developed.”
    • “A cheap raft clone with the same mechanics except you cannot go underwater.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing them as outdated and visually unappealing, often comparing them unfavorably to similar titles. While some appreciate the game's aesthetic and find it suitable for lower-end PCs, others report significant glitches and performance issues that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the consensus leans towards disappointment in the graphical quality, despite a few positive remarks about the color palette.

    • “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.”
    • “Personally, I like the graphics of this game and I can't even think about playing any other raft game.”
    • “Some people think this is the copy, but this is the original. People check the dates; that doesn't mean it's good though. The graphics are outdated and much worse than the copy. It's a shame I bought it when it came out because it seemed fun (it was), but they've failed on making improvements. Quickly, the other raft took the crown. I genuinely hope they can recover, MegaGame, I'm rooting for you.”
    • “But the island graphics are pretty horrid, and I had a huge bug where my chests duplicated and some just disappeared.”
    • “The graphics are painful to look at, and it takes 2 hours just to bring one box in to grab.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The story involves exploring mystery islands via kayak, with a focus on uncovering the narrative of how the player ended up on a raft. While some players appreciate the realism and storyline, others feel that the overall execution, including graphics, falls short.

    • “You get to take a kayak to the mystery islands and learn how the story unfolds.”
    • “It is very realistic and it has a story about what happened and how you got on a raft.”
    • “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

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    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 necessity to grind for experience points to unlock new features leads to repetitive and monotonous activities, diminishing the overall enjoyment.

    • “It was okay, but 11 hours in, the progress was getting too tedious.”
    • “I don't mind grinding for 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 features, you will just find yourself grinding the same pointless activities to speed it up.”

  • monetization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Many users perceive the monetization strategy as a potential cash grab by the developers, suggesting a lack of value or fairness in the pricing model.

    • “I am starting to think that maybe it was a quick cash grab for the developers.”
    • “The monetization system feels overly aggressive and detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “It's frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls, making it hard to enjoy the game fully.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music aspect of the game is polarizing; while it serves as a fun social tool for Discord parties, it lacks a dedicated soundtrack, featuring only basic sound effects for specific actions like shark attacks.

    • “Fun game for Discord parties too, to socialize and game while enjoying music.”
    • “This game has no music at all, just some rudimentary sounds on shark attacks and other stuff.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, particularly in the first couple of hours, with players finding it amusing and appropriate for its low price point of €4. However, the comedic elements may taper off as the game progresses.

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

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is largely undermined by numerous bugs, which detract from the overall enjoyment and immersion. Users feel that the lack of a compelling atmosphere further exacerbates these issues.
