About This Game

Raft is a survival sandbox game where players are stranded on a small raft in an endless ocean. They gather floating debris with a hook, manage hunger and thirst, craft tools and equipment, and gradually expand the raft into a larger floating base. Players can explore islands, follow a story, and defend themselves from hostile wildlife such as sharks, bears, and hyenas. The game supports single-player and cooperative multiplayer for up to ten players, with cross-platform play and in-game voice chat.

Negatives

•Survival systems like hunger and thirst management can frustrate younger or impatient players.
