So you've gotten the game and you're ready to jump in. What do you actually do? That part's easy: just survive. Once you leave the wreckage of the plane crash and you find yourself in the Pacific Ocean, you must travel underwater and explore until you make it to land to scavenge for tools. You must manage your hunger, thirst, and exposure levels as you struggle to find a place on the island that you've found. It certainly isn't for the faint of heart. 

Craft a variety of tools like spears, axes, bows, and spearguns to stay alive as long as you can while matched up against the enemies waiting for you out there in the wild. Luckily, as you level up and earn experience, you'll also unlock new skills such as harvesting, cooking, and hunting to give you more of a fighting chance against the wilderness. You can also build structures to ensure you have a home on the island, too. 

If you're a fan of the survival genre or just want to play a game with an austere challenge, you'll definitely want to check out Stranded Deep, whether you're one of the new PS4 players or you feel more comfortable playing with a mouse and keyboard on PC by way of the Steam version. It's definitely a game for the true survivalists out there.
