Aloft strives to be the next co-op survival crafting game, but its early access version leaves a lot to be desired

A character walking toward a peninsula in Aloft as the sun sets.

Aloft is launching into early access, but if you're looking for the next big-scale co-op survival crafting game to sink hundreds of hours I'm afraid to tell you that this might not currently be it. With a world that feels half-empty, a repetitive gameplay loop, and next to no guidance on where you should aim next, Aloft leaves a lot to be desired. There is a decent foundation for it to build a unique experience, but they currently don't feel like enough to make up for how lackluster I found the whole thing.

For a game so driven by its exploration, when I finally got to man the helm, it felt underwhelming.
