Raft Free Download Unfitgirl Our oceans are clogged with plastic trash, but here’s a small silver lining: All that garbage is keeping me alive. In open world survival game Raft, which spent four years in early access before hitting 1.0 in June, I turned a collection of floating trash into a floating base—a big, cluttered, ugly floating base, but it’s packed with life-saving amenities and I’ve slowly come to love it like a home. Just like my raft itself, Raft the game took quite a while to fall in love with. The first few hours were so rough I probably would have just quit if I weren’t writing a review. With just four squares of wood to stand on, I slogged through the opening hours, constantly near death from malnutrition and dehydration, feverishly casting a brittle plastic hook into the waves to fish out every last bit of trash I could, piece by piece. I fought off a hungry shark with a crude spear made from planks, I scurried onto tiny passing islands to gather handfuls of fruit to eat, and drifted slowly and miserably across the sea on a little raft I couldn’t stop or steer or control. Most of the crafting I did was just to replace my basic tools, like my trash hook and spear, when they broke after just a few uses. Those early hours were frantic, stressful, and not much fun at all.But after a few hours of surviving (and frequently swearing) I used my collected garbage to make my raft a little bigger, unlocked new blueprints that allowed me to craft more useful items like a seawater purifier Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

A fishing rod, and grill for cooking, and without having to worry about death quite so constantly I eventually discovered an engrossing survival experience. I went from wanting to quit Raft to finding it extremely hard to stop playing, and helping me sail through the choppy opening hours into more enjoyable waters was the realization that the river of trash on the endless ocean wasn’t just letting me build stuff. It was leading somewhere. Raft isn’t just a matter of crafting and survival, it’s a curious mystery to solve with a story that slowly reveals itself. Drifting from island to island, chopping down spare trees for wood and digging up ore from the seabed eventually allowed me to craft technology like a radio receiver, a battery, and some antennas. A signal then led me to a mysterious, rusting radio tower poking out of the sea, and the clues I gathered there gave me a pip on my radar screen. This led me to another location to explore, loot, and obtain coordinates to the next story location. The journey that began as aimless drifting now had some destinations to focus on, which gave all that crafting more of a purpose than simply catching enough fish to avoid starvation. Once I’d crafted a ragged sail and a plastic shovel to use as a paddle, I could finally… well, not really steer my ship but at least aim it at passing islands.

Use your hook to catch debris floating by

Building an anchor was even better because I could properly stop to catch my breath on the little islands I came across, which made gathering resources feel more like leisurely fun than a frantic chore. And unlike other survival games where reaching distant areas of the map might require you to build multiple bases, in Raft your base comes with you, so you never need to start over from scratch. Following the story also led to some genuinely exciting moments. After spending days on end visiting only tiny, wimpy little islands, seeing something truly massive looming on the horizon was a thrill. I came across a huge abandoned yacht, a massive outpost built from cargo containers, and a mountainous national park rising above the waves. These locations came with puzzles, small quests, new creatures to tame or fight, and loads of useful loot. Audio diaries explained what had happened there (usually something terrible) and told me where everyone had gone, giving me interesting details about the wet apocalypse. Also, honestly, it was just nice to hear some voices in a world that at times feels extremely lonesome (unless you’re playing with a friend in co-op). Most importantly, these story areas gave Raft a welcome change of pace by letting me wander away from my floating base to explore, sometimes for days at a time. Last Epoch

The real turning point was when I was able to bolt a wood-burning engine and a steering wheel onto my raft. Finally, after helplessly floating wherever the wind took me, I could actually pilot my big messy base in any direction I wanted. Raft suddenly felt like a completely different game, a much better one in which I was an intrepid explorer instead of just a mostly helpless passenger. Even better, I was able to line the edges of my raft with nets that automatically collected any trash I floated over, so I bid a not-so-fond farewell to the long hours spent fishing trash out of the sea with my hook. A proper fishing rod, a bow and arrow to kill birds foolish enough to land on my raft, and an upgraded desalinator meant food and hydration were rarely a concern. This doesn’t mean it was smooth sailing from then on. There were still plenty of threats, like an ever-present shark, plus giant rats and fearsome bears on certain islands, and occasional mad scrambles to find resources to replace broken high-level gear, but being able to automate some survival chores left more time to just have fun exploring the world. While I hated the opening hours of Raft, it really grew on me and I love how the crafting progression felt empowering, with major new items like the engine and steering wheel giving the game an entirely different feel.

Fight your way through perilous destinations

My raft is still a mess—constructing it was like placing a bunch of furniture first and then trying to build a house around it—but I still wound up loving my mobile base and I had plenty of free time to alter it so it functioned a bit better. Gone are the days of fleeing my raft to find sustenance: It’s now so well stocked that the danger comes from leaving it behind without bringing enough supplies with me. In fact, I had so much spare garbage I even found myself occasionally chucking stuff I didn’t need over the side. I’m trying not to think of it as polluting. More like giving back to an ocean that generously gave me so much. When players first load into Raft, they find themselves on a singular block of wood floating in a seemingly endless body of water. Equipped with only a plastic hook, players will have to gather resources in order to keep themselves alive and build a shelter, a raft. There’s very little tutorial and onboarding, the game drops you in and asks you to figure the rest out. Naturally, I began tossing my hook into the water, reeling in the wooden planks, plastic containers, and palm leaves that floated past. Soon, I was able to craft myself a Building Hammer and expand my raft, adding foundation and giving myself some more room to place other useful items. As time goes on, you’ll have to maintain your hunger and thirst meters. Last Evil 

If either reaches zero, you’ll slowly start to lose health. While the player is always surrounded by water, quenching your thirst isn’t as simple as scooping up some ocean water and taking a sip. You’ll have to build a purifier to make it suitable for consumption. As for food, the game provides an array of options, from farming, to fishing, and hunting. Early on, the vast majority of your time is spent desperately juggling to maintain your hunger and thirst, as they deplete rather quickly. That said, you eventually settle into a comfortable rhythm, and that’s when the fun begins. As you gather more resources in Raft, you’ll soon gain access to much more advanced versions of the rudimentary tools and items you previously used. Scrap hooks let you mindlessly extract more items from the ocean, and metal spears help you better defend yourself against various threats. You can also construct walls, stairs, roofs, as well as furniture in order to make your Raft uniquely yours. What Raft nails so well is a sense of natural progression. Again, there is essentially no tutorial, but the game still very clearly lays out the steps that I need to take to improve my character and my raft. Playing with friends, we soon realized that a couple grills and water purifiers weren’t enough, so we constructed Advanced Grills and Purifiers. As sharks would frequently bite chunks out of our raft, I began to use stronger solid wood for foundation, reinforcing it with an iron frame.

Catch and tend to animals

When we got tired of moving through the ocean at a snail’s pace, we crafted sails to push us along faster. Eventually, we had the materials to create a steering wheel, and even an engine. Before we knew it, the raft that started off as a glorified piece of driftwood was a bustling community with multiple floors and sections. While the Raft is incredibly open-ended, there actually is a narrative slowly unraveling as players explore. The ocean is dotted with islands to discover, both large and small. Some of these feature notes about the world and the events leading up to the start of your game. There are even NPC characters to meet that you can unlock as playable characters. My friends and I had a really good time exploring some of the story-focused islands, solving environmental puzzles and putting together the pieces of the story. There are also some non-island points of interest to be discovered, which I won’t detail here because they’re really cool when you discover them on your own for the first time. Islands also serve as another place to stop and gather resources. Once you’ve dropped your anchor, you’re free to see what islands have to offer. There are trees to chop down, trading posts where you can acquire new items, and the surrounding waters usually include clay, metal, and copper ore, which are key crafting components. Of course, it isn’t all sunshines and rainbows, and there are almost always looming threats in Raft. League Manager 2022 

Sharks are the primary antagonist of Raft. The game spawns them around your raft, and you can almost always count on one being no more than a few seconds away whenever you jump into the water. You can usually take them out after repeated stabs with a spear, or shots with an arrow. After a while, I simply found sharks to be more annoying than anything else. Even when you kill a shark, that only grants you 1-2 minutes of peace before another one spawns nearby. While I understand this is done to keep players on their toes, it feels like overkill. Once I had a more advanced setup, it wasn’t very hard to kill sharks, and it felt like a chore whenever I wanted to explore the water. Besides, Sharks should feel like a big bad, a decreased spawn rate but perhaps increased strength would make shark encounters feel less cheap and more worthwhile. Sharks are just one of the dangerous creatures that will attempt to thwart you on your Raft adventure. There are hogs, bears, and even a massive bird that serves no purpose in life other than dropping heavy rocks on your head.Raft is simply one of the most charming survival games I’ve played. Simply standing on my raft as it floats over the waves through an endless body of water is truly relaxing. There’s also a great sense of pride and achievement that comes with seeing what I’ve built every time I load into the game.

It’s an easy recommendation for survival fans that may have been holding off on jumping into early access, as well as those just learning about the game for the first time. Eventually, I drifted across Raft, which has been floating in Steam Early Access for several years now, but remains more popular than a cup of fresh water in a lifeboat. It turns out there’s good reason for that. While it may not be as big or flashy as Icarus, Raft has got ideas by the bucketful. As the title suggests, Raft puts you in the middle of an ocean with only a few planks of wood separating you from the briny deep. The world of Raft is actually post-apocalyptic, although you wouldn’t know it from the crystalline waters and occasional tropical islands that hove into view. Like Subnautica, putting players in a non-terrestrial survival situation forces developer Redbeet Interactive to approach the mechanics of survival from a new angle. But Raft‘s take on aquatic survival is completely different from Subnautica. Whereas swimming is life in Subnautica, taking a dip into one of Raft‘s oceans will see you mauled to death by a massive shark quicker than you can say “We’re going to need a bigger raft.” Hence, you need to find ways to stay alive without leaving your raft. Fortunately, Raft‘s virtual oceans are littered with the detritus of humanity, from planks of wood to bits of plastic to floating crates and barrels.
