I'm sorry to say this, really I am. But I could understand how to do most things and while looking up how to craft things, because I couldn't, I found that maybe because of a bug I can't craft anything where a normal persons could. Every time I go to the Inventory and click on Crafting it just comes up with nothing in the Crafting area. Please fix so I can play this game to its fullest.

ok at first had trouble with the game with food not giving water but with the updates it was good .. crafting was different but easy to get use to it , carrying only 10 items at a time was strange but hey it still worked ok .
It was a fun game to play some parts are tricky with sliding down the hill and dying that was not fun but you get the hang of it ,, it has its ups and downs ,, to me i think its an awesome game to play and will still keep playing it ,, and would recommend it to anyone who likes a challenging survival game

This look great on graphic, work fine in 4k as most unreal stuff do..
BUT ... the mechanic of this game is totaly crap ...its so poorly made it make you nearly tear you head of just to try do simple things... like get on the raft early on ... else its just loooot of running around looking for few types of resourses...
There is muuuch better games of same type.. try does before this..

The Idea is good.
Since 2018 there is no update.
Story: on the ocean: nothing - 1 second later: there is a storm.
finding Nick on the main island. he has a shelter a fire but you need to craft your own.
running 5-10 mins for 1 item. the map is too large. running with a torch is bad.
The inventory is badly done. Two inventorys are unclear.
there are tons of useless feathers laying around.
if the "devs" would still work on it i would recommend, but this is not good.
if you expect a finished game - dont buy it.
and for this "game" too expensive.
all in all a frustrating game.

Extremely long loading time, menu buttons are invisible, I just clicked something in good luck, game did a benchmark... Try again... More waiting...
Eventually, after 15 minutes, I FINALLY reach the part which they call: "Gameplay"
I thought it was all because I only have 8 GB of Ram but after seeing how the game is, I just don't get it... Like graphical wise, it's really bad for a game from 2018, like the beach was just giving my eyes the brightest show of white beachsand... But I don't give up THAT easily, so I started gathering apples, berries, wood - while watching the onscreen tutorial which buttons to press for which purpose.
"Make a raft" - so I open up my inventory and closed it, because I saw NOTHING, most text was gone somewhere to the left, same as for the crafting options, I didn't see the options. So I jumped in the water and swam to the nearest island. Took me about 30 minutes, couldn't take a break, because a shark was right behind me. I do understand the significants of having a raft...
On the other island, I got terrorised by musquitos, saw lots of different animal life; turtles and salamanders... Oh and the Leopard... I heard the first terrifying grawl, but that was my stomache, was getting hungry... The second grawl however, wasn't that terrific, but it was that of the Leopard... I died instantly, I wanted to run, but the game started to lagg...
Let's end the game, tired of it already... Oh wait, there is no menu... So I do Ctrl+Alt+Delete and go to Taskmanager... But the game fucked up my entire computer, the Taskmanager popped up, but my mouse was still stuck in the game. So I scrolled with the keyboard to the game and pressed "delete" - man, my PC almost locked down! HUGE MEMORYLEAK!!! Finally, the game ended. But my PC was totally traumatised because of it. Nothing worked like it should work, clicking field was shifted, just like in the menu system... If this is a Windows 10 issue, no idea, but this sukks!
I do not recommend this game, leave it in the store and push the button "IGNORE" - there are way better games out there that do the same and actually pull it off in a better way. The game didn't even showed me any form of innovation or a special system. Too bad. Just leave it.

Incredible pile of garbage. Unfinished crap that should never have been released on Steam. No matter if the devs are kids, the game sucks mayor ass and is broken af. After almost an hour of gameplay I figured out that the so called "Drop Zone" is basically a proximity crafting inventory (has other things to craft, like the raft you need to get to the main island), so I could finally craft the raft but I could not get onto it, no matter if pressing E or F or whatever, there's no way to climb up that shit raft so I decided to swim all the way to the main island, avoiding the shark only to eat a mushroom that killed me.
The game doesn't explain anything, except for mentioning the controls. The developers don't even seem to bother writing things such as "Equipped" or "Equip" correctly, instead they write "Equipt".
Finding anything is a mayor pain in the butt. The player ragdoll plays like a drunk monkey not being capable to stand still, even picking up something can be a mayor pain. The translation sequence have mayor volume issues and sometimes you can hear the clicking sound after the recordings themself (ofc they didn't bother cutting them out - no quality content).
At the beginning of the game there's some disclaimer claiming that thy are young and wanted to show what they can do..Imho they shouldn't be making videogames, unless they are capable of actually delivering a full game experience or at least a playable version, not this!
This is basically nothing more than a broken ass demo of a game that may have had potential if the developers actually put some effort into it instead of just testing out the Unreal Engine and charging money for this crap as soon as they could not even fixing the bugs.
My recomendation - Burn it!

Actually after playing this game for 13 hours at this point completing it twice since i missed 3 achievement choices. Its a very fucking buggy game where you will look for sticks and logs like they are a rare material.
Its very clear its been made with lack of experience and qa and im under the impression the va's are the 2 devs these 2 voices seem to be the only ones too as the pirates later in the game are voiced by the same people.
The 2 characters in this game legit sound like 2 eastern europeans with a lack of english speaking skills and there are some spelling mistakes but for the 2 dollars that it costs its not the worst use of your money.
I can tolerate a fair amount of bs from games but others might not but then again its so cheap so why not try and please finish your raft and the first shelter it gets better after that.
Just remember to download cheat engine and set your speed hack to 2x speed it is easier to run around but the balancing factor is that you lose water and food twice as fast.
Recommended settings for this is turn foliage off everything lowest except view distance put that to epic so you can find those logs and branches fast.
This game deserves a 59/100.

Bought it on summer sale and thought; just ignore negative reviews, what do they know about playing games.
Played 20min, reviews are true, Refund.
Might try to play later once the game leaves alpha stage and instructions are better (or even just preset would be nice).
This game should be in 'early access'

Graphics look ok, but gameplay is frustrating. First thing I needed to do was "built a raft". That's it. No instruction, no tutorial (at least not a clear one). Spent minutes just running round collecting wood, with no idea of what they can be used for. If this comes with a proper tutorial, because let's face it, the interface isn't the best, then I will give it another go. I might also change my review.
