The Raft

Fun little entry in the survival/crafting genre. Just went into early access like a week ago so who knows how long it will be in development, think it took me 7 hours to get through all the content so far? So it's a little light. If this were a released game I'd say it's not really worth the money but I enjoyed what there is quite a bit and I'm sure it will be fleshed out quite a bit more. Even if you're leery of pulling the trigger, it's worth keeping an eye on if you're a fan of the genre.

Yeah but Illusion of Gaia doesn't let you build a floating metropolis.

I'll echo that it's not worth money yet.

Took about eight hours for me to finish as well.

Has potential to be fun if there were more content.

My only stumbling block with the content that exists was one specific crafting mat that I couldn't figure out. Subnautica and 7D2D taught me the 'try to harvest everything' mindset for these games, but there was one major thing I couldn't figure out without googling it. I think the name should be changed to make it slightly more intuitive, wouldn't have to be a dead giveaway.


So yeah pretty sure this is the equivalent of a fairly early alpha, which means they can still add plenty to the game to fatten it up a bit. I'm choosing to be optimistic despite having never heard of this studio before lol

BUMP.

Is this any good? Looking for something to play with the kids coop.

If you're playing with kids and they aren't the powergamer/look up a walkthrough type, you should get a LOT of hours out of this. Especially if they like building and spend a lot of time tinkering with the raft instead of just a utilitarian approach.
