The verdict
A charming, relaxing raft-building survival game that shines in co-op, but it gets grindy and repetitive, with weak story islands and little post-story content. Skip it if you'll play solo.
Great for
Friends or couples who want a chill co-op survival and base-building game
Main risk
Grind, fast hunger/thirst and breaking tools make it tedious, especially solo
