I tried this with a friend just today, was doing fine until we started to notice that one of us could not see or interact with things the other had built(campfire, dropped items/tools, shelters) Obviously that's a big problem in co-op survival.

the most buggiest game I've ever played. honestly, don't bother.

Where do I start?
It just acts and feels bad all around from every other survival game out there I play. Holding down buttons for mouse wheels, transfer from inventory to chest, trying to build, dropping tools on the ground. It just all feels broken.

Why not the old E opens a chest and inventory and you click or shift click to transfer items?
Tab is inventory, B is build, Shift is run. It's really really simple. Whats with all these wheel menus and so on. It's like a game badly optimized for a console or controller.

All this time and the actions of creatures are still janky and weird. I just watch a boar take off running four feet above the ground. I guess pigs really can fly.

The map is tremendous gripe. Yes it's nice there's a feature to custom build islands but the islands are already small, the devs couldn't create a random map generator for at least a lazy approach? Nope - what did we get? A whole world with two or three islands that all look EXACTLY the same. Devs! shame on you. Really shame on you! In all the time of development you didn't stop once to AT LEAST TRY to make it feel like a real world. YOU guys have an entire island customizer and yet you couldn't be bothered to take even three days to create numerous different islands! Even with three hours and the map creator I can create an island that looks better than these nasty "here's a few trees, same rocks and flat island with a few animals strewn around.

This game was so half @ssed it's an embarrassment. I have never in my life used this statement but I will now "do better" you really could have easily done better. Even if you were a single developer you could have done better. Now I see you working on stranded deep 2?! Guys, I sure as heck won't buy your second game seeing your first game looks, feels and plays like an early development game.

And for the white knights saying "well your encouraged to download other peoples maps or make your own" I would call bull. There are times you come home and no game should require to jump through hoops to get a basic experience.

This game has ALL the tools to be a good game the devs wont even use them. Heck, if their product isn't worth their time then I guess it's not worth mine either.

This game is NOT by any stretch worth $19.99. It plays looks and feels like other games I've seen selling for $5.00 and some of those games offered a smoother feel of play. The game is sheer laziness in a wrapper and their motto should be "I don't give a d@mn"

As co-op I wouldn't even bother playing with friends. It's just an empty copy paste world. If the gameplay was at least smooth I'd invest time into downloading custom islands but like I said above the feel of game play makes my skin crawl. It's just dang broken.

Side note - how this game has so many positive reviews is beyond me. It must be the emperors new clothes mentality at work. This game is busted and a pile of hot garbage.
