Release Date: April 21, 2020
A realistic survival game created by a debuting Australian studio Beam Team Games. The player assumes the role of a plane crash survivor who struggles to remain alive on one of the uninhabited islands of the Pacific. Unlike most games of this genre, this production is focused not only on the exploration of the island itself, but it also encompasses the ocean floor around it. Both areas are randomly generated before each game.
Stranded Deep for PC is the first production from Beam Team Games – an Australian studio, which consists out of merely two programmers. The developers claim that they have created a perfected, realistic, and challenging survival system for their debut title.
In Stranded Deep we play the role of a sole plane crash survivor, who is desperately trying to stay alive on one of the uninhabited isles on the Pacific Ocean. To delay the unavoidable we are forced to carefully manage our limited resources, which need to be acquired either by exploring the vast and rich, but dangerous, underwater world or by scavenging whatever we can find on the island itself. The developers have made it extremely difficult to get to know the precise layout of the surrounding region, as the island changes with each playthrough.
The crafting system is one of the most important mechanics within the game. The Australian team has put a lot of effort towards making it as intuitive as possible; the visible UI has been reduced to the absolute minimum, forcing the player to work it out by himself how to combine different elements and pieces to create useful tools. Apart from the basic equipment (e.g. a fishing rod or primitive weaponry), we can also craft more advanced structures, such as a raft or a shack.
Since Stranded Deep is a survival game, the players will face a lot of different dangers during their playthrough. Avoiding the most obvious threats among them - an encounter with a shark or heading out for the open water during a storm, which will usually end with our hero’s untimely demise - is just the beginning. It is also crucial to provide our character with an appropriate diet, as with time our food supplies will spoil and salt water only bolsters our thirst; the weather conditions, such as extreme heat during the day or bitter cold in the night, can also prove to be deadly.
Stranded Deep on PC stands apart from many other indie productions, due to its extremely colorful, high quality visuals; the developers take a great deal of pride in the day and night cycle and the dynamic weather effects, which they have single-handedly created. Furthermore, they have also managed to design a realistic and impressive looking ocean.

Game Ratings for Stranded Deep Video Game.
Marooners' Rock: 7.2 / 10 by Matthew Hlady
Stranded Deep has borderline wretched controls and has some crafting and survival mechanics that make the boy scout and backpacker in me furrow my brow in confusion. That being said, the game is fun and exceptionally rewarding!
GameSpew: 7 / 10 by Chris McMullen
Despite its questionable development status, Stranded Deep has a lot to offer. I’d welcome further development, but even in its current incarnation, this compelling survival sim is more than worth diving into.
Culture of Gaming: 9 / 10
To sum up, Stranded Deep is an absolutely fantastic game. It looks great, it sounds great, and it plays great. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves survival games or sims, anyone who loves crafting, and anyone who needs something either immersive-enough or peaceful-enough to help them through lockdown or quarantine. If you love the ocean, you are bound to love Stranded Deep. I’ve been passionate about the sea and everything in it since I was tiny, and this game does not disappoint. I was horribly disappointed with Sea of Thieves because of the sheer lack of anything to see or find underwater, but Stranded Deep does not fall into this trap at all. I was overwhelmed with the attention to detail on things like a shark — you can even see the markings on their skin. For an indie game, it’s astonishing that so much time and money has been spent on their oceans. A lot of devs would have cut corners here, but Beam Team Games didn’t.
