Generally I love this game but it should be used to teach courses on proper tutorial design as an example of what not to do.
My first point of frustration was that I knew I needed Lashing but I didn’t know how to get it, I crafted multiple Stone Tools not knowing that I needed to equip them or how to equip them, I saw them holding the R1 button and thought that was by inventory interface, so I tried to equip them a few times that way and ended up just crafting too many stone tools. I ended up exhausted all the rocks on the island while I ran back and forth looking for some resource I could turn into lashing.
After I figured out how to equip stone tools and harvest the ingredients I had to restart, my next point of frustration was that I needed to craft a campfire but the game doesn’t teach me how to change to the camping section of the crafting menu.
After that I needed to create a Water Still, I found Cloth on the beach but couldn’t figure out how to make a coconut flask, because consumables is on a different section entirely.
With that I had the basics, or so I thought, but then I spear fished some sardines and couldn’t figure out how to cook them. It was only after giving up searching my menus and throwing them on the ground that I figured out I needed to skin them, if there’s a way to clean without throwing them on the ground I don’t know it.
