More about Stranded Deep
Players rate it 73 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 37 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 30 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,628 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 33 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 3 of the 30 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 6,078 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
This game worked in Coop with 2 controllers in the past. Now its impossible to play. The devs should reevaluate their career field if they cant provide a simple fix for this. SO frustrated with this game now and really hope the devs provide a better quality and standard of work than what they have put into this game.

Stranded Deep is genuinely a great survival game. It's quiet, it's beautiful and somehow still extremely tense at times. Go browse the screenshots, the views are lovely. The building is ok, it's more restrictive than I'd like, but I've built some epic bases. Find them on YT The crafting is simple.. Don't follow the tutorial! It'll make you thirsty and hungry.... The inventory could be better. It definitely earns its...
Had this on the switch for a long time but I always thought it was missing something and that thing was co-op and better graphics and steam surly delivered! 100% recommend. (Can be a bit laggy at times)
