On Sunday, update 0.74.00 dropped for Stranded Deep, bringing with it a huge number of bug fixes and a big world map which is twice as large as those generated by the previous stable build (0.70.02). Islands no longer generate in a perfect 5x5 grid, and now have the room to be a bit more randomized. Gyrocopter parts are also now a lot more difficult to find, only appearing on the end game carrier.
In order to complete the end game, the player will have to face three monstrous denizens of the deep: the megalodon, the moray eel, and the giant squid. After defeating the three bosses, the player will then be able to get to the end game ship, where a plane waits for repairs and supplies. After replacing all six components and filling the fuel, food, and water storage, the stranded player will at long last be able to take off and complete the end game.
Once a player has completed the end game scenario by escaping the islands, the next world they generate will spawn a starting crate, which contains sunscreen, a machete, a carbon speargun with arrows, a flashlight, and a rubber duck for companionship. Fans of Tom Hanks in Castaway could use the label maker to rename the duck Wilson.
Stranded Deep players on Steam feared they would be left behind when Beam Team Games made the decision to release the 1.0 version of the game to consoles before the game received the same treatment on PC. This update gets the PC version closer to that goal, but it still hasn't reached 1.0 status.
Survival games have historically tended towards following a similar format: the protagonist finds themselves alone in a perilous and unfamiliar setting and needs to gather resources and craft tools to escape and get back home. Indie gameStranded Deep certainly does little to stray from this formula. Gamers play as the lone survivor of a plane crash, isolated on a series of islands somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
The indie game is slow and methodical, requiring planning and patience to level up the protagonist's skills in areas like crafting and hunting so they can build a vehicle to escape. However, rather than offering a satisfying reward for hours upon hours of grafting, the game concludes with a cheap and tired time-loop cliche.
Stranded Deep does not offer much in the way of a story, which is not necessarily a bad thing -- many players turn to survival games for the challenge and the mechanics rather than plot. However, they do want a goal to work toward, usually in the form of successfully leaving the dangerous setting of the game. While Stranded Deep has such an ending, it all but spits in the face of players who committed to beating it. The protagonist eventually stumbles across a broken plane that can be repaired. Once all the requisite parts are gathered, as well as supplies like food and water, it's time to leave.
The player enters the plane and gets airborne before the screen fades to black. Things pick back up three hours later, with the plane still flying -- until it abruptly crashes into a private jet identical to the one which crashed at the beginning of the game. The perspective instantly shifts to the protagonist inside the crashing plane sequence from the start of Stranded Deep. Then, the game ends.
There has been no official explanation for the ending, but it seems to imply that the protagonist, by escaping, caused the crash that left them stranded in the ocean in the first place and is doomed to repeat this cycle for eternity thanks to some kind of wormhole. Not only has this trope been used many times before (and with more artistry) like in films such as The Triangle, but there is absolutely no setup for it in the game. Obviously, it's supposed to be a shocking final twist in an otherwise grounded survival game, but the intended gut-punch doesn't land. Instead, it just comes across as silly.
RELATED: How Where Winds Meet Sets Itself Apart From Elden Ring & Wo Long: Fallen DynastyStranded Deep, when played on its normal settings, is not an easy game to complete. Beyond the basic tutorial, it offers no guidance on what to do or where to go, and there are countless ways the player can find themselves in peril, whether it's from a lack of water or getting chomped by a shark.
To finish the game in this way is not thought-provoking, nor is it resonant. The sci-fi twist is almost petulant, feeling like something the developers tacked on in a last-ditch attempt to add more dimensions to what is overall very good survival game, but one without a story. Other titles in the genre, like The Forest and Subnautica, have deeper lore and story beats that players can follow, which culminate in fulfilling endings to previously-established plot points.
Unfortunately, in its final seconds, Stranded Deep botches the landing and leaves a sour taste. It suggests that all the player's time and efforts were for nothing and that, in the end, they had very little autonomy. When done correctly, this kind of ending can be a thought-provoking reflection on destiny and the amount of control one has in life, but Stranded Deep, despite its title, doesn't move beyond the shallows of this topic.
