Coral Island

I purchased the Kickstarter for this game when it was still two years out from being launched. I was a bad supporter, and did not play until three years after it launched. BUT, LET ME TELL YOU: I have been OBSSESSED with it since! I play so often that I forget about my other games. The dynamics, the creativity, the wholesomeness! Everything is brilliant, and much more!

I love how inclusive the game is

Def recommend, but the default timescale is too fast for me, so you may want to play at 50% speed. It's great for casual gamers and/or people who have low gaming skill, and I say that respectfully, as I am one of those people, lol. The combat is not difficult AT ALL, no worries there. The beginning was a bit slow for me, but as I learned the game and upgraded my tools, unlocked new areas, etc, I enjoyed it more and more. The underwater stuff is incredible! So fun. If you liked Stardew, you'll probably like this too.

Pros: - Very Stardew-esque if you're looking to fill that gap - Art style and visuals are absolutely delightful - Many QoL options available and many annoyances from farming sims have been removed. - Lots of things to do/unlock/explore Cons - Combat is dull at best. Enemies barely notice you, and when they do, you likely have an overpowered weapon to handle them anyway. - Grinding for funds in the early game can be a hassle. I know it's a farming sim so this may not impact everyone, but the undersea cleanup just became very tedious. If you're looking for something to fill the void left by Stardew, this has been one of the best attempts I've played.

I really like this game! I like the art, I ADORE the pets. Allowing me to have rabbits, foxes, or my personal fav; a bearded dragon is way awesome, There are some minor errors that make playing an annoyance sometimes though. Example; when you switch items while moving, it makes you either stop completely, makes it so you can no longer turn until you stop and start again, or places an invisible wall in front of you so you can't continue until you stop and start moving again. It's also impossible to reorganize your inventory when you're in a chest view, because it will automatically go into the chest instead of letting you pick it up. I would really like to not feel the need to exit the chest view, to go to my inventory view, and then reorganize before going back into the chest because I inevitably forgot to put something away due to my inventory being disorganized. Just a bit frustrating, In cutscenes, clicking onto the next stage of text keeps popping up a "skip cutscene" notification at the top of the screen, which is soo incredibly distracting and makes it hard to not be pulled out of the scenes. Additionally, I really wish that if you find a note with peoples likes and things it could add them to their list, because it is hard and annoying to go through the notes to find if maybe at one point it was possibly mentioned that someone liked something. It's also fairly hard to get people to like you, and I was unfortunate enough that the required gift to make and give for the tutorial quests were items disliked or hated by the two people I was most interested in getting to know, so they started off in the worst way possible for me. I do really like the characters, I like how many people there are to get to know, and it really feels like there is someone to romance for everyone (Although with all of the guests who visit in I know they could do an awesome goth romanceable, and I wish for that more than anything I've ever wished before due to that. I know they can do it really well, but they chose not to for whatever reason.) I do also wish I could turn off Sunny shouting constantly, I can't stand him because reading his dialogue makes me uncomfortable and upset. It feels overwhelming, and so I avoid him at all costs, and try to skip through cutscenes with him. All in all, this game is really fun, and I enjoy a lot of things about it, but there are some tweaks needed to make it better. I know I spent a lot of time talking about issues I've experienced, but I really do like and recommend this game. At the moment, I've played 33 hours and I am only now getting people to 2 hearts, and scratching the surface of the story. I am now on my first day of fall, so it seems as though this will all be a slow burn for sure, It is a great time sink, especially if you really like simulation games. I'd equate it more to a rune factory or harvest moon type than a stardew or fields of mistria type, so keep that in mind when purchasing! EDIT: So, immediately after posting this review I hopped on to play, and my steam notified me that I lost 3 weeks of in-game play. This lost my farm's automations, a handful of fast travel waypoints, a town rank, tons of hearts from people, my museum upgrade, a bunch of donations to my alters and museum, a good number of mine levels, and tons of levels in general in diving, mining, and other things, This was really disappointing, and honestly made me not want to even replay. I saw from a reviewer previously that he had lost 3 game saves entirely, and this has me nervous and honestly upset. This is the reason I held off soo long before purchasing this game, and now I'm dreading playing it instead of enjoying the game. Hope this doesn't happen again, because it may just not be worth playing in that case.

点开游戏需要带点决心和勇气，但是越玩越上头

très bon jeu.
