Stranded deep castaway pc game2/14/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Heavens forbid, though, if you have a full inventory while holding something then decide to take out something you have multiple copies of.

Eager as I was to explore, though, I could not make much progress when I spent, quite literally, a quarter of my time on that island searching for my missing knife. This is probably to encourage players to go out and explore the other islands, rather than remain static. The island you begin on is small and lacking resources. Much of my initial failure I can blame on struggling to accustom myself to the clunky, counterintuitive controls, strange game mechanics, and a touch of outright stupidity on my part. I thought “You know what? I’m kinda sick of the whole surviving manly man thing. Yet in this video-game rendition of Castaway 2 (complete with crashed aircraft), I decided to break from that trend. In most games, I like to play essentially as myself where I make the same choices that I would make, style the character after me if I can… You get the idea. While Stranded Deep’s controls on the console are clumsy and sometimes downright infuriating, the game always draws me back, despite the dumb name that might as well have been pulled out of an island-themed random word generator. That being said, it is still one of the most comprehensive and captivating games in the genre that I have seen. Stranded Deep has a lot of holes in it in terms of realism and actual survival. ![]()
