How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Raft
You start on a tiny raft in the middle of the ocean with a hook to collect debris. Bit by bit you turn it into a floating base while a shark stalks you and you discover islands and a background story.
