    This game is great! Very enjoyable gameplay mechanics, fun exploration, base-building, and even boss fights. Definitely more of an indie title with a bit of jank, but still a great game and often on sale.

    Це було жахливо. Гра повний непотріб, і мусить бути безплатною і щей на мобілках.

    Stranded Deep was quite fun for the first hour or so, alone or with friends. After my friend and I played for around 3 days, we began to realize how poorly designed the game was. Food and hunger goes down quite fast. Travelling from island to island is extremely slow and boring. You'll be on your raft and if you look away for a few seconds and youre going a completely different way.Stranded Deep was quite fun for the first hour or so, alone or with friends.

    Não é um jogo nota 10 mas traz desafios legais, a física do jogo tem coisas questionáveis, sem falar de um bug que aconteceu comigo onde salvei numa ilha com uma jangada e ao retornar as ilhas trocaram de posição e perdi a jangada com todos os itens que estavam nela.

If you step on a crown of thorns starfish that was tucked underneath the edge of a rock with only 3 centimeters of it showing, you'll have to scour your island for 2 Pipi plants instead of 1 if you were playing on pc. Not only that, but the building is janky as heck, especially when it comes to rafts. I cannot expand my raft's width at all, but I can make it longer. I have never once seen that issue on pc.

    TL: DR Wanna play a survival game? pick a different one, cause this one is truly one of the most repetitive survival games I've played.    … Expand

    This game is exciting, I hope it will be regularly updated by the developers. There is some pretty lousy picture quality, however, as the game hasn't received a PS5 update. When I compare my image to those which play on PC, there is a difference.

Itens que não tem sentido precisarem dela, os programadores imbecis fizeram questão de precisar, somente pra demorar mais. Como se não bastasse, fome e sede você fica umas 5 vezes por dia, te obrigando a parar tudo o que tá fazendo pra ir atrás de se alimentar. Nem todos os itens dão respaw, os mais básicos, como pedra e coqueiros por várias vezes simplesmente irão sumir, já que você pegou tudo, te obrigando a ir pra outra ilha pra criar tudo de novo. O jogo é todo bugado, a física não funciona direito, pouquíssimos animais, crafting patético e chato, dependente de um item só pra absolutamente tudo, não tem trilha sonora, os gráficos são de ps2 e a programação falha em diversos aspectos, como o jogo ficar derrubando sua arma no chão de propósito, inviabilizando você continuar jogando, já que precisará de recursos pra fazer a arma de novo... Enfim, nem perca seu tempo.… Expand

    Симулятор выживания на минималках или просто более аркадная, графика не понравилась, геймплей тоже уныл как и атмосфера игры. Вообщем 5/10 на пару вечеров

    I would like to give a rate 10!!!!
    But there's a bug that doesn't allow me to pick up anything, I can't cut trees, can do anything when this bug appears. It's so sad. The game is good but so many ridiculous bugs.

Now for some reason X is used to skip this whole scene and go directly into gameplay, and having been trained so far to press X to do things it's easy to skip right over the gameplay settings so you basically have to restart the game and when you get to the same screen press Square to change things. Finally when the game starts, your 1st person camera movement is incredibly sluggish and lags behind your inputs. When you make it to the progression trigger of the next sequence the change is so abrupt, followed by a loading screen, I though I had died and the game was reloading. From there I'm on a raft struggling with the camera and pop up hints, I finally got an paddle in my hand and rowed to shore, but incapable of exiting the raft. I pressed every button, there was no onscreen hint... but this time I gave up, having zero faith that things would improve from this point. It's like whoever approved the controls had never played a game with a controller before. Also the whole UI felt amateurish. Hate to be this harsh, it's a great concept and I wanted to give it a chance, but first impressions mean a lot.… Expand

    and the game does not tell you in any way that there is a compass on that helicopter.
    soo you mess up an entire run of the game if you want too get the platinum
    soo i had too start a new game just for that trophy alone.
    Normally i hate survival games like this.
    and i think propably this game had alot more problems at launch.
    But i had alot of fun with it.
    i was stressed out, when taking the bosses.
    i would have wished that the entire survival aspect of the game was deeper then what it was.
    you where grinding the same thing over and over.
    and gathering materials too build stuff was simply not fun.
    overall if they made surviving in the area more "fun" wich in reality it should not be. but this is a game we should have fun. it would have been better.
    cheats would have been SUPERFUN in a console edition and would have made people play this game ALOT more.    … Expand

    One of the most unique gaming experiences I’ve had in a while. Takes me back to the days of my Amiga when I’d get a genuine feeling of excitement from something that felt truly original. This game won’t suit everyone I’m certain but I found it a refreshing play.

After a minute or two of looking in various directions and pushing every button, I got a prompt to get out of the raft and it told me to drag it. I’m not sure why. Did I make this happen? Was it on a timer? Was I not quite in the right position? There’s no way to tell. Ok, I pushed the button and dragged it ashore. Fun. Then it told me that I needed two rocks and two sticks. Navigating jerkily around my little island, because the movement mechanics are incredibly jerky and every object feels like an obstacle, I found plenty of trees and rocks but no sticks. Do sticks come from trees? Apparently not. “I found a tree!” I say to the game. “Not good enough. Keep wandering.” Says Stranded Deep. I found plenty of other random things, but any time I picked one up I had to drop something else. Eventually I found a second stick. How exciting! I used the sticks and rocks to make a sharper rock, I guess, and then cut up a tree to get some leaves to make fiber. Once I did so, it wouldn’t let me hold the fiber because my inventory was full... again. Even though I was holding the leaves that the fiber was made from. I dropped some rocks and then I used the fiber and rocks and sticks to make a knife.... and it said I couldn’t hold the knife because, you guessed it! My inventory was full. Oh, and I couldn’t drop it because there were trees and things blocking me from dropping it, apparently, and I also couldn’t access my inventory; so I walked out to the beach with the knife hovering oddly in front of me as an item that I can’t carry and can’t drop, and then I managed to drop it and then drop something else so I could pick it back up again. Sound like fun? It’s not. At this point it was night time. During the day I had seen many crabs. My little task assigner in the corner had now told me that I needed to kill and skin a crab. Ok easy. Well: apparently in this game crabs only come out during the day. I circled the island on the beach for fifteen minutes, smirking every time something black randomly looked like TV static, and then eventually gave up, turned the game off, and deleted it. Is there a rest mechanic? A time lapse mechanic? Who knows? The tutorial is virtually nonexistent. Maybe this is a beta... but I see that they’re actually charging money for it, which is really kind of amazing. I played for a over an hour and at no point was I having any fun. I kept going “well maybe once I get past this one bit it’ll start to be interesting...” but walking in circles on a little tiny island in search of items that may or may not exist isn’t exactly a good time.... Especially since even the walking is buggy and jerky. Overall, the whole thing feels like a beta. I’m just glad that it was free. I can’t imagine how I would feel if I had paid money for it.… Expand

    Where to begin? First of all it takes an age for the game to load, which is a shock as the game looks and plays like something you might have seen on the PlayStation 1. The graphics at best are terrible, the sound is boring, the lighting is poor and the animation/movement is jerky and clunky. Even as a free game, this is not worth it. It's a waste of hard disk space.

    I don't know who was in charge of the circle inventory. But it's terrible. In fact playing it with a controller bar the movement feels terrible. The control scheme seems to have been designed by a 5 year old who did it before their nap time.

    No wonder this was free on the PS Plus.. because no one in their right mind would willingly pay money for this.. on the console. if you did. Well... i'd be asking for my money back, or not tell a living soul that you did.

    The worst thing is, well the way the tutorial is presented to you. Looks lifted from the PC and then swear, they've photoshopped things like a "R1" button over the top of the PC key to try and make it ft. It looks wrong, and embarrassing.

    It’s rarely original, occasionally frustrating, and often clumsy in execution, but when it clicks there’s a meditative vein to Stranded Deep’s grind that will make time spent indoors sunnier. [Issue#176, p.74]
