Coral Island

Ich spiele Coral Island seit der Early-Access-Phase und habe nach den letzten Update wieder einen neuen Spielstand begonnen. Deshalb möchte ich meine persönliche Einschätzung geben. Wenn ihr ein entspanntes Cozy-Game sucht und euch vor allem Dekoration, Romance, das Datingsystem und die Story wichtig sind, kann ich Coral Island empfehlen. Das Spiel nimmt sich Zeit und richtet sich eher an Spieler, die ohne Stress ihre Farm aufbauen und die Welt genießen möchten. Wenn euch in einem Farming-Spiel neben dem Cozy-Aspekt auch ein ausgewogenes Wirtschaftssystem, langfristige Motivation und Herausforderungen wichtig sind, hat Coral Island meiner Meinung nach noch Schwächen. Mit der Zeit verliert das Wirtschaftssystem für mich an Bedeutung. Geld verdient man schnell sehr leicht und gleichzeitig wird man regelrecht mit Ressourcen überschüttet. Irgendwann sind die Truhen voll und es fehlt an Möglichkeiten, Ressourcen oder Gold sinnvoll auszugeben. Auch die Stadt-Attraktionen im Late-Game sind für die Menge an Gold und Materialien, die man im späteren Spielverlauf besitzt, zu günstig. Dadurch fehlt mir das Gefühl, auf etwas Größeres hinzuarbeiten. Ich hoffe, dass sich die Entwickler künftig stärker auf das Late Game konzentrieren. Für mich gerät die Balance des Wirtschaftssystems mit der Zeit aus dem Gleichgewicht. Ressourcen und Gold verlieren ihren Wert, weil man irgendwann von allem mehr als genug hat und es kaum noch sinnvoll Investieren kann oder langfristige Ziele gibt. Ich spiele nach Updates zwar immer wieder gerne rein, aber langfristig fehlt mir die Motivation.

Full of UI locks and crashes, I don't think this will be playable ever.

This game has been sitting on my wishlist for quite a few months, and when I finally decided to buy it, IT GREETED ME WITH A LOT OF IN-GAME BUGS. I've joined the discord server and discovered many bugs have occured even before the 1.3 update. This game is super fun, but the amount of bugs makes it frustrating to play as many of it hinders the main story quests. I've reported it to their discord, I got a response from a developer, but unfortunately, they did not give any updates.

Refreshing farm sim. I love the aesthetics of this game. As a veteran of The Sims series: I prefer my main characters to look as human-like as possible. I don't do pixels. I for damn sure don't do furry animal people. I also hate the short, stubby, thumbnails with feet looking people like with farm/life sims running around. I also don't like them looking like children. I also have zero patience for annoyances, but with Coral Island I find all the characters refreshing. They act like people. They have flaws. They have allergies, Some keep up barriers. Some got major life decisions on their minds. Others have Boomer parents that think kids are supposed to be carbon copies of them. We have a Merman that likes beer...? (I'm just... puzzled at that.) These NPCS aren't just randos running into each other and your avatar. We got families running around. We got in-laws, exes, hippies with ducks.... We also have elementals, a deity, and some other weird things lurking in and out of your avatar's life. There are very few games where I like the whole cast of characters (FFXII, Persona 1, and Persona 2, Digital Devil Saga) EXCEPT Sam the Grocery Store Owner. I totally hate that guy. I wish I could run a business that NEVER opened. If you decide to play this game--- you'll feel me. Never, ever, have I wanted to transfer the Sims Console command and delete a bastard from another game. I have NEVER seen a non-villian work SO HARD to counter ALL PROGRESSION in your game. There are complaints, but I can't think of them anymore because I feel that NO ONE WANTS TO ADDRESS THE LAZY ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM! The game is great. I find it more relaxing than playing the Sims, really. It's like playing a save where all the Custom Content works, the core mods work, and there are NO HORSES running through your house. I recommend the multiplayer--- CROSS CONSOLE---with friends and get stuff done quicker... well, as quick as can be with SAM'S STORE ALWAYS BEING CLOSED. I recommended this game, with a nice icy drink to sip. If there's a sale that includes the soundtrack, totally go for that, the music is very chill.

I've been playing this game for a while and following it along with it's years in development. I feel now I can actually recommend the game to people as it has come a LONG way. I stopped playing it for a while until I felt it had enough updates to give it another shot. I'm very pleased with the story so far and the NPC's always had depth but I feel like they've really flushed them out. I feel like some of the hair textures can use some work, bugs aren't as bad now since you can load up a save on top of manual saving and normally that fixes things. Love this game and it's devs for showing a LOT of diversity in its world.

I bought the game today (a farming sim veteran and coral island premise seems promising enough) and yet I’ve restarted 4 times, both stopped and restarted for the mines. Though being able to reach level 5 each time it burns through the food I’ve saved up since day 1 from the start of respective saves, and out of all the levels combined only one floor has ores, and somehow it all coincidentally takes me breaking down to the very last rock to get a ladder down. Which is insanely punishing for the first week of spring. I live for mines in a farming sim, and this odds is too crazy that I really need to leave this game alone even though I just bought it today. Which is a shame cause I haven’t even gotten the chance to play it though from what I’ve read the games does have some nice qol features I really want to see in a farming sim. I’m just not quite sure if I should even give it a chance if this is the type of odds I’m dealing with on a very essential part of the game…. I assume a lot, if not all new players might be experiencing what I’m describing here. And it is jarring, because if you know the formula of a farming sim, mining is something you prioritise naturally. It is fine to have a boring mining experience if I can still get progression in a general play through, but why should I continue if it just stops it rather abruptly before the first week even ends? The suggestions we can get online isn’t particularly helpful too, we are new players, those bombs and staircases suggestions really becomes the “hen first or egg first” type of question… If you can see it devs, please respond to all the plea and have some form of hot fixes, I do with to give the game another chance if it’s not downright stifling, but I do need to know if there’s a promise if a save is even playable in that sense.

I wish I liked this game more than I do. After all the hours I've played, I realized that I was drawn in by the gameplay loop and the addiction to finishing tasks, but that I wasn't actually enjoying any part of the loop or the tasks. The art is pretty and the gameplay is smooth - I rarely encountered any bugs, all positives. But this is just a game of grinding, even more so than the other farming sim games it is similar to. Unlike Stardew Valley, getting to know the villagers of Coral Island feels strangely empty. The heart events often feel more like I'm an awkward observer of their interpersonal drama; my presence and increased friendship with any of the characters makes no difference in their lives. The hangout component is neat in concept - as you get to know characters, they can invite you to hangout (or you can invite them) in various places around the island. But the events and cutscenes of any hangout option will be the same no matter what character you're with. Going through the museum with, say, Rafael the blacksmith will look exactly the same as going through the museum with Scott, the museum's creator. The farming elements of the game are fairly standard. You buy seeds, plant them, water them, harvest them, and so on. You can grow things like fruit trees and make a wide variety of artisan goods or cook recipes with them, but it all is about what you'd expect. Games like My Time at Sandrock or Graveyard Keeper do a good job at twisting the genre to make different elements stand out more from peak like Stardew, but Coral Island is missing that. Mining is just that, with monsters very easy to defeat and drop rates that feel very low until/unless you upgrade your pickaxe to increase rare drops and drop rates in general. Fishing is annoying, personally, and I actually love the fishing minigames in this type of genre usually. Crafting, foraging, exploration, even buying different clothes to have a variety of outfits is meh (and expensive for ugly things, imo!). The underwater exploration *should* fill those gaps, but cleaning up the ocean is just a chore that never ends. Even when you've cleared a section of the ocean, the coral sends out that triumphant pulse that shows it has all healed...come back to that location later and it will be filled with trash again. That triumphant pulse quickly feels empty too, as you realize you're going to have to clean up each area with your sickle entirely, no matter how quickly you find the glowing gem that activates the pulse thingy. I realize this game is in early access, so there could very easily be room for improvement. But I played my most recent 50ish hours after their big 1.3 update, only to realize the deeper issues making the game feel empty still remain.

stupid game, keeps crashing for no reason

Yes i have a few hours, but no, i will not recommend this game. Im gonna hit those reasons first and then the good. Point one- Mines are broken. the new update(which was promised before EA ended 3 years ago) broke it, so no more ores and no holes down without clearing every single rock. why does this matter? its how u upgrade ur tools. guess what you cant do without ore, get better and faster. devs have been made aware but they seem uninterested in fixing it. Point 2- farming. its a farming game right? right!? im sitting on a 300 plants farm in the first 10 days of the game, guess what? i cant even water half of them cuz my energy is gone. and of course i cant find anything foraging to replenish. sprinklers exist, but they require something from way deeper in the game to make them. see point 1 for why its taking even longer to get their. while we are on farming, these crows will eat your plants if u dont have a scarecrow up. easy right? so scarecrow should be unlocked immediately right? nope, farming 1, which takes 5 days to unlock cuz the XP system was written by a gorilla smashing keys and pounding his chest. Point 3- the devs, keeping this short and to the point, they dont know what their doing, this is probably the best looking funnest farm sim out their, and they managed to honk butt snakes all over it. go play stardew valley if u cant stand that pixelated nightmare, i cant and my first system was an atari. this aint it folks now to say nice things the ocean part is relaxing, once u turn the music off cuz its the same 30 second "song" on a loop thats it, thats all i got. the new update trashed the game cuz i guess testing it first was too difficult for the gorillas at the office. hard do not recommend thank you for your attention to this matter President ThisSucks Edit 1- i forgot to mention, its not really noticeable and in your face but their is a LGBBQ flag on the community center. i dont give a frack about those types but it is in game and it isnt removable. so be aware the devs cant fix their game but can add a pointless virtue signal.

有点一言难尽，我很早就买了测试就买了原价一百多啊，到今天了，可玩660推荐960按理说我3060ti稳稳拿下，我运行之后显卡巨烫比我打三角洲还烫你是不是有点离谱了，显卡的轰鸣声太明显了，但是就游戏本身而言我推荐
