Escape the Pacific is one of the most realistic survival games I have come to enjoy. In some aspects it is similar to Stranded Deep but in my opinion it is better. The mechanics of the game apply realistically, such as weight distribution. You really need to be creative and tactful in your thoughts. Keeping an eye on your health, supplies and the weather. In comparison to Stranded Deep, you don't have 'bosses' you have to face just to gain something, which I was really excited about. This of course could change when they finish and release the development of the Story mode. Personally, I love the sandbox mode. Bosses in Stranded Deep was one of the things I dread about that game. Every island in Escape the Pacific is randomly generated (and the map is huge!) and some of them might even come with 'surprises' such as a chest with goodies, paddles (better than what you can build) and unique plants that maybe another island might not have. Also a plus, the wildlife isn't trying to kill you. So you can focus on the things that matter. I'm excited to see what multiplayer will bring in the future. I some how imagine it to be something like the game 'Raft'. Two or more people building a base together and exploring what may be ahead. The graphics for this game are pretty decent so far and the sound effects such as the waves, thunder, rain, etc. are pretty spot on. The only thing I do wish would improve is making the storm clouds darker. During the day, i can barely see a storm (or its clouds), I only know it is on its way because you can hear the thunder in the distance. I do also hope they bring more ideas into the game for building such as more kinds of furniture or decorations. Otherwise, if you're looking for a game that's survival, open world with exploration, creativity and not action packed, this might be the one. Also, I dont think sharks attack your raft but... I could be wrong. I have yet to run into one if they do attack.

This game is a delight. The endless world feels real. I'm getting good at sailing (when my rudder's not stuck on a sandbank) and I have a seagull named Jonathan Livingston. What's not to like? Just save strategically and you're golden.

Excellent advanced survival game with great progression and a large mix of items and builds. It's a true survival game, decisions about exploration and resources planning are key. You can't just expect to move through predetermined tiers (or levels) and just survive without thinking and planning. The mechanics are not too hard to understand, but they do take patients and some ingenuity (just like a real survival situation). It originally had some glitches with rafts flying around, but most of this seems worked out. Bottom line, great game for using your brain and thinking your way out of a near real survival situation - but has a little added fun thrown in with the tantalizing possibility of finding small treasure caches that will help you along. Overall great game - most definitely recommend.

This is an EA island survival sim. Generally pretty relaxing and has some unique and well thought out game mechanics. The early game loop is build your small base camp and travel to nearby islands. -Find or build valuable things you will need for a long trip. Navigation systems, a large houseboat raft. -Balance your nutrients but plan ahead. Food goes bad and you need to preserve foods. Fruit are seasonal so you may need to dry some for later. -The later game loop tests your prep skills. Can you successfully travel to the next group of islands and start a new base camp without starving or dying of thirst. -The base building is pretty good. You can improvise and build with what you have. Banana leaves? Palm leaves? Grass? If you are really ambitious build advanced walls with planks salvaged from islands. The game is EA so it does not have a lot of exploration (aside from procedural islands with loot to help you expand) . However, the mechanics for various crop growing and food preservation are well thought out so there is a lot of smaller things to do. I think this is the biggest value of the game because it adds a lot of realism and there are small rewards such as improved health from eating a balanced diet. An example of a more complex process is. You might find an oil lamp in a ship wreak. But its useless. What to do? Well take a coconut. Take the meat out. Take an empty coconut. Add the coconut meat and some water. Cook it on the fire. Now you have some oil for your lamp. Quality of life improves. Farming is also well thought out. You need to make compost using multiple materials. Ditto for food preservation. The indie developer has been pretty dedicated to updates and listens to feedback. The UI has changed a few times and my observation is always to the better. There are a few bugs during sailing so save before you leave an island. Make sure nothing is loose on your raft like a stick. It can sink you! The rest of the game is very stable and performs well until you start building really big. I recommend game to support EA, participate in the journey. Personally I enjoy coming back to it every few months. Releases are slow, to be expected for an Indie, but I think the developer will continue building it out. This is niche for the well thought out survival processes and planning ahead.

I have sunk many hours into this game, and even though it has some janky things here and there, mixed in with some bugs, it really is a labor of love. There is a high level of detail in the sailing aspect of the game, with some complex survival mechanics and crafting mixed in. I know some comments here are saying that the game doesn't get frequent updates. But I think this has changed. If you check the developer Discord, they are actively working on the game. The experimental branch is getting frequent updates. Definitely a game to put in your wishlist and keep track off.
