How it plays
Two survivors share an island and split the work of gathering, crafting, fishing and building a raft to reach other islands.
On PC the pair can play on one split screen or online; PlayStation and Xbox have online co-op only, and the Switch version is single-player.
Survival needs and slow progress make it a long-haul game for a relaxed pair.
Each online player needs a copy; on PC, Steam Remote Play Together lets one copy cover both.
