Jun 22, 2026Solarpunk is a great cozy survival crafting video game set in a world of floating islands. Players can explore the floating islands using the airship and gather resources for advanced recipes. Despite it being a survival, it is more of a relaxed craft and build title, perfect for players who enjoy cozy, creative survival games. It has both Solo and Co-op modes, allowing players to craft, build, explore, and automate solo or with their friends.

Jun 8, 2026Solarpunk is a solid, cozy, low intensity game, but if you’re looking for an adventure that lasts more than a hundred hours, you should probably look somewhere else.

Jun 8, 2026Solarpunk doesn’t capture the spirit of its namesake until far, far later into the game, but it’s at least a relaxing sandbox where you can do pretty much anything you want (as long as it fits within the confines of its cozy game genre). Its best moments come from building alongside friends and watching a small floating island grow into a thriving home. It’s definitely not a game for everyone, especially since it can feel a bit empty at times. However, players who enjoy setting their own goals and taking things at their own pace will find plenty to like among the clouds.

Jun 9, 2026Solarpunk, as a genre and movement, is built around imagining better futures and alternative ways of living. Here, that idea never fully develops; there is a beautiful sky to explore, but not enough substance beneath it.

Jun 15, 2026The first few hours deliver a standard survival experience, with tree chopping and attention to thirst and hunger. After that, progression slows down due to excessive grinding for too little reward. While it may appeal to players focused on building, exploration-driven gameplay feels underdeveloped in Solarpunk.

Jun 8, 2026Disconnected, desultory, and missing the sense of discovery that elevates the survival sim genre, Solarpunk is a survival sim that manufactures friction, without stakes, from its library of borrowed mechanics and ideas.
