YMMV / Raft

• Fan Nickname: Players would often call the shark Bruce. The devs picked up on it and now call it that name in news and updates.
• Game-Breaker: As Josh of Let's Game It Out proves, the Detail Plank lets you avoid and sequence break pretty much every challenge of the game. You can use it to climb past obstacles and push yourself through solid walls, letting you bypass pretty much all the puzzles and even sequence break the final fight.
• Goddamn Bats:
  • After the first few hours of gameplay and establishing yourself, the Shark stops being this awful thing you're constantly worried of and desperate to fight off and becomes a minor but unbelievably persistent annoyance that you basically delegate to "occasional chore" when it decides to go after your raft, which will likely be built out and up to the size of a small house, meaning it's only an issue if you ignore it too many times in a row without repairing.
  • The Screecher will become this on Caravan Island and large islands, unless you're good enough with a bow that you can shoot it down. Constantly trying to drop rocks on your head, the only warning being a loud screech a split second before you get hit. It gets very frustrating after a while.
• Play the Game, Skip the Story: A lot of players forget about building the receiver-antenna setup and simply enjoy survival.
