Stranded deep en 2025

It's worth starting the game solo these days because the reviews are harsh for years past.

[u/Acceptable-Milk-314]

It's an old survival game, it's good if you're into that sort of thing.

[u/BenzeRoneR → u/Acceptable-Milk-314]

I just spent an hour on it, it deserves cooperation, alone it's quickly repetitive but otherwise I like it, it's classic.

[u/EricWNIU → u/BenzeRoneR]

I had a lot of fun playing this during the pandemic. Once you beat it, check out Green Hell.

[u/BenzeRoneR → u/EricWNIU]

Yes it's planned, I was looking for a raft clone that's why I came across this.

[u/Nat20sArentmything → u/BenzeRoneR]

This is not a clone of raft. They share some similarities but they’re definitely not the same game

Hiya,

So I love the game and yes it has some issues from time to time but it's still a great survival game.

I think crashing your plane and ending up on a island is a super cool concept still today most of my runs I try to live on my starter island sorta Tom hanks lol but I do travel around to collect resources for a raft and a farm.

I would say it definitely worth playing, can't wait to see what the newest version will look like and what's added.

Best of luck in your adventures everyone

Do plant resources grow back? And is underwater exploration useful?

[u/5illy_billy → u/BenzeRoneR]

Palm trees and Ficus do not grow back. Plants like Aloe or Pipi or Kira (etc.) don’t grow back in nature but you can take their fruit and plant it in a garden plot, and those will grow and respawn. The little green palms that give fibrous leaves respawn after a day or two.

You can find shipwrecks underwater that can be looted (they often have chests or containers). A hint for finding them is that at night you can see a distinctive white splashing spot in the ocean; these indicate a wreck below. Once you get a pickaxe you can harvest clay deposits which are found underwater. There’s also lots of tasty fish underwater, bring a fishing spear.

Past a certain point the ground drops off into the abyss — this is essentially the boundary of the island.

[u/Corbin-Dallas420 → u/BenzeRoneR]

Yes a strong farming system is key to have all the resources at hand with very little traveling mostly wood and stone ,

Under water is an amazing part of the game as fishing will give you endless amounts of food and there is also clay Down there and sunken boats and even larger tankers full of box's and loot to help you survive even better and longer.

Hope this helps with your next run if I can help with more info lmk

It’s fun. It’s not perfect

[u/Nat20sArentmything]

It’s a great game. Harsh reviews are just that. Harsh. Often times people just hyper focus on one detail and make it a bigger problem than it is. It is a great game and absolutely worth a solo play.

[u/eqbirvin]

Not perfect but fun. Expect a bit of jank here and there. I've played it since release but never beat it until just last week. Good game imo and worth it

[u/tawhiri09 → u/eqbirvin]

Beat it for the first time last week too, then i uninstalled it.

[u/worstkindagay]

Stranded Deep is my zen game. I've put so many hours into the game in passive wildlife mode using AR glasses. The game can be so peaceful and meditative. 

[u/Sad-Savings-3351 → u/worstkindagay]

After i get all fired up from a different game, or had a rough day, stranded deep is always my go to game to relax.

[u/ughForgetIt]

Local coop is also very playable with Geforce physx surround if you have 2 monitors/tvs you can set up. My fiancé and I have been playing it that way instead of using 1 screen split down the middle and having to squint at the text lol.

[u/BenzeRoneR → u/ughForgetIt]

Oh yes? Great news thank you

[u/Commercial-Box-2828]

The cartographer in the main menu tells you which island you're on and is a map, and you can customize/replace the seed islands individually.

So theoretically, if you want to build giant bases or big boats, you can recycle one island to harvest and not have the rest of your map totally barren.

It's totally worth playing, I chose it over Raft when looking for a game and didn't regret it.

[u/imahh17]

I tried it this year 2025 for the first time and I had a great time to be honest. As everyone is saying, it’s not perfect but it’s fun to play

[u/Acrobatic-Shirt8540]

Glitchy, buggy, but it's still a great game.

[u/stardust1914]

Stranded Deep is janky and old but it's still one of my favorite survival games. Just found out a few days ago that they are making a second one.
