FEB 2025 EDIT -- So i posted my original review below in Sept 2024, there have been a few patches and fixes which is good but the food issue i describe in orgiinal review is still there after playing today (16FEB 2025). Body temp also doesn't seem to matter if you're standing in rain or next to fire. Sorry but this is meant to be a survival game right? Half a coconut is still filling me up way too much so i don't feel like i'm 'surviving'. There is no point in cooking. Really want to play this game and not trying to rush the dev but if you're going to fix stuff, please fix the core elements. Until then this will need uninstalling but will keep following. -- SEPT 2024 Will recommend to someone who has never played similar island type survival games because it’s a good game overall. Would throw caution to those who have seen the evolution of similar games (aka stranded deep). I’ll be honest I’m getting bored when I play. that doesn’t mean to sound hateful but it all feels a bit ‘been here done that’. It’s like we’re starting over the evolution of this type of survival beach based game again. I welcome similar games but there’s nothing new, even the inventory is borrowed. Then there’s the recent debacle with hunger depleting too quick, kudos to the dev they patched it but now it’s filling up too quick so is it even a survival element anymore. I want the game and devs to succeed and am sure they will balance it again just weary this is tried and tested stuff shouldn’t be that hard and makes me question competence.

So the game is fun, but is very obviously in early access. Still lots of tweaks and polishes that need done. The hit boxes are clunky, as is carrying objects in general. Another thing... the grind... It's BAD. Want a simple 5x5 house? Be prepared to chop down every tree on your island. Want anything inside said house? Go to another island and chop all those trees down too. Rough, man. And one huge gripe (sorry, very very minor spoilers) but the intro? Seems VERY calm for an imminent plane crash and then doesn't grab the yoke to actually fly the plane, but rather puts both hands on the dash and just watches it go headfirst into the ocean? I get that game developers aren't pilots, but come on guys. At least have him struggle with the plane a little bit, yeah?

Great graphics and many things to think about as you try to survive...it's like 'spinning plates'...if you can't multi-task....you won't last long. Intriguing and dangerous....very additive. Loving it and I'm a 72 year old pensioner!!! lol

Sept. 2024

It's a pretty decent survival game with a little exploration. It's easy to sink a ton of hours into it, kind of green hellish, graphics are pretty good. I can't lie some of the animals are jank but I'm not too worried about it. It's still in early access development and the dev team on the discord is actively trying to repair any bugs reported by players which is a really nice thing to see.

I normally turn up for survival games, but ive burned alot in the last few years with games that over promise and under deliver. Thankfully i cant say that about Project castaway as i'm having a blast with it. It reminds me Stranded Deep. The game is very well optimised and the graphics really good. It makes you feel like everything you craft you really need and not many games capture that really well. If you love a survival game then this is for you
