I was so obsessed with Raft for a week straight, playing co-op with my girlfriend, so immersed in what the world had to offer. The sense of adventure to be found in this game is hard to find, and although survival games aren't exactly rare nowadays, few reach the sense of wonder that exploring on our little raft had to offer.

The building was great too; by the end of the game, our raft was a 3-story apartment with a hot tub and a plethora of facilities. The story is light but intriguing and offers a good reason to progress in the game.

If you're down for a survival adventure, maybe one you can get locked in for days at a time Raft is at the top of the list for me.

Raft is a survival game that drops you in the middle of the ocean on a tiny, barely-floating raft with nothing but a hook and a prayer. Your mission? Gather debris from the endless sea, craft tools, and—most importantly—try not to get eaten by a shark. It’s a mix of crafting, exploration, and just the right amount of panic, all while you try to keep your hunger, thirst, and sanity in check. You’ll start by fishing for scraps like wood and plastic to build your raft, but soon enough, you’re crafting things like water purifiers, fishing rods, and even a grill to cook whatever fish you can catch (if the shark doesn’t get to them first).

As you float around the ocean, you’ll spot islands that have rare resources and secrets about the flooded world you’re stranded in. Each island is like a little treasure hunt, offering up everything from metal ore to strange notes that tell you more about the game’s mysterious story. The sense of discovery keeps you hooked, pun intended.

What really kicks Raft up a notch is the multiplayer. If you’ve ever wanted to experience the thrill of building a raft while your friend is busy cooking, fishing, and accidentally setting the raft on fire, Raft delivers. The shark constantly tries to eat your raft (and you), so you and your friends will have to team up to gather resources, fight off the shark, and keep your raft from falling apart. It’s chaotic, fun, and full of moments where you’ll laugh, panic, and probably fall into the water a few times.

Visually, the game has a simple but charming style. The ocean is bright and inviting, but the constant threat of shark attacks keeps you on edge. The sound of waves and seagulls is soothing… until the shark starts circling, and then the game turns into a frantic scramble to grab your spear and defend your home. The relaxing atmosphere of the ocean quickly turns into a “holy crap, what’s that fin?” moment when danger strikes.

Raft is a fun, addictive survival game that’s easy to dive into but hard to put down. Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, it’s a great mix of crafting, exploration, and teamwork. You’ll spend your time building, exploring, and desperately trying to fend off sharks, and it never gets old. If you enjoy survival games and don’t mind a bit of chaos (and possibly getting eaten by a shark), Raft is definitely worth giving a shot.
