In Raft, you wake up on a small wooden platform with a hook and an infinite ocean surrounding you at all times. The game is set when a person has to fight for their life: you collect floats like planks, plastic, and palm leaves to build a raft to gather resources and create items. There is always some challenge or opportunity in the ocean; barrels have important supplies in them, and there are islands in the distance that can be used as a chance to gain more important resources. However, where there is danger, there is always a shark swimming around your Raft, waiting for the perfect chance to bring down and annihilate parts of your earned base. Being a turn-based game, the gameplay here is as complex as pairing resource gathering with explorations, and defending always forces you to play tight and quickly respond to a quite hostile nature.
Grande frittata, your Raft larger, so much larger are your plans. You can have avatar kitchens to cook food, water dispensers to make the water palatable, and farms where you can cultivate your food. The crafting system expands as you can design multi-level rafts with storage systems, research tables, and more complex equipment such as engines and navigation tools. After that, exploration appears to be the core motive as you come across such remarkably unexplained places as landmarks, ships, and islands full of resources and hidden facts.
Every new resource is a step to the game’s background, which tells us about the world that was flooded. Having friends makes the game more enjoyable when in multiplayer; players can work together in building structures and hunting for resources. Unfortunately, it has not entirely stuck to its survivalist roots and the mystery accordingly, yet Raft is still all well and good as a thrilling adventure.
