"Bravo, Pajama Llama Games, Bravo. While I’ve never been a big fan of city-builder games before. Flotsam really flipped my skepticism on its head by downscaling this to more of a town-builder. After spotting this game for the first time at EGX 2019." JFeetzz @ Thumb Culture
KeenGamer: ''Flotsam is a quirky city builder that has you building a floating village in the middle of the ocean. Scavenge what’s left of the old world to construct your oceanic survival palace.''
