Flotsam

A word of caution is also why I like Flotsam: It's in development, so it's changing. Things work, then change, and sometimes break before they work again. It's like playing a new game every few months. The play is casual, which I like. But interesting enough to keep me playing one more game day. They've added "architect" which allows fixing city layout. Floating things can be rearranged. So unlike other city games, when something doesn't work, you don't have to destroy, crash your population, and then rebuild. I like the discord community too.

For a while I thought this game was lost to early access, but gotta give a thumbs up to the developers for sticking in there and making sizeable changes from its initial stages.
The game will speak to fans of survival base building, you gather resource, build base, move around with said base to other locations with resource and repeat, it's a simple concept but quite unique in the city builder genre. will come back after full release and try the game out again.

i love this game! it's such a good chill out and play kinda game. easy to be playing for hours and not realize it. it's not like too in dept h but it doesn't really need to be in my opinion. Overall i'd recommend it. 8,5/10

Cute game, maybe a little expensive ... for what it currently is but still worth the collection. I recommend it but only when its on special. ♥

This is a tough one to review. On the one hand, I do like the concept and it feels very similar to a few other titles like Raft, Havendock, etc. All the pieces are there, gather materials, research a tech tree, build ever more complicated workflows, etc. The game took me 20 hours to get to a point where I think I've finished? There's nothing left to do really. I researched everything quite awhile back, though it took me an eternity just to find a single type of resource (no spoilers here), which was honestly crazy frustrating. Some of the buildings are very confusing - looking at you fish farms. I have no idea what is happening and when I'll actually get fish. Also, the way that churning out resources from buildings work is also very, very annoying. You might have a workshop that can make plastic waste from garbage or firewood from furniture, or electrical components from computer waste, however you can only set it to generate ONE of those automatically up to a production limit that you set. If you want to automate the production of all three of those as you get raw materials in, you literally need to build three buildings, each of which will be idle most of the time. It's just kind of dumb.
Like I said in the beginning, I've stopped playing because I've essentially done all there is to do in the game, and there is no 'ending'. My town is essentially self-sustaining and I could stay put if I wanted to. I suppose the one thing I could do is collect all of the remaining drifters, but there's no real point to it. They just suck up resources, which means I need to build more crap in the same way I've already done and the map is all the same stuff on copy paste. So all in all, it was a mostly fun adventure that got tedious after hour 10 or so. I think the devs could make some QoL improvements and maybe add something to the story to make it more interesting as well. So, recommened with reservations, but not a No.

It's very reminiscent to Oxygen not included and raft combined. I think it's good if you like managing games. And bugs get fixed quit fast.

Tentatively positive - I did have a lot of fun with this. Although I have finished the game now so if 13 hours is too short for a city-builder that's charming but has limited re-playability, then don't buy this game!
