Starsand Island

what a massive disapointment. bought this "indie game" (studio actually owned by some soul-sucking billion dollar Chinese company, wtf!!!) in "early access" and enjoyed it for a few weeks under the strict assumption that it would actually come to fruition as a whole game. I wish i could get my money back. only buy this game if you enjoy being pissed off and miserable

First off I think this games is wonderful. Very cozy very relaxed and enjoyable. I played everything that early access had to offer. I was very looking forward to 1.0 and the addition of multiplayer. was going to start a farm with 4 friends like Stardew Valley but the way they did the multiplayer is a huge let down. It makes me just not even want to play 1.0 at this point. I understand that costs and time and effort go into making a game but i would have much rather had the devs say we will wait to release the multiplayer until we have it in a state that is playable and enjoyable. it feels like a slap in the face and a forced released the way it was implemented. as the game stands now if you want a single player cozy farm game then buy it. if you want a cozy multiplayer farm game then skip this until they implement an actual multiplayer or until the modding community makes one.

Missing advertised features, 100% a rugpull. Would not recommend.

Thank you for teaching me to never trust EA again ^^

Waited with my review till 1.0 to see if its any better. it's not

NOT A 1.0 Product! When this game went from "EA" to "1.0", the primary addition was "Multiplayer". The "Storyline" is non-existent (The inclusion of "My Time" characters indicates that the two share a Universe, but the Tech is completely different...), bugs present for months are still present, bugs partially corrected months ago are back, and new bugs have been added. Quests regularly lockout. Items don't spawn, or disappear. Home customization is an exercise in frustration. "Romance" is laughable, with all the spice (and depth) of a glass of room temperature water. Dev is more interested in pushing Social Media interactions than communicating functional changes; the Release Notes for 1.0 were released alongside notes for a patch later, but between those events we got multiple posts about online screenshot contests. Go buy Doloc Town instead; it's half the price (before discounts), is actually Feature Complete (there doesn't seem to be anything Core that was promised but not live at release. Looking at you, Coral Island.), and actually has a story beyond "Welcome to Town. Build/Grow/Collect me stuff.".

There is no passion here, just a game branded as cosy to cash in on the cosy genre with limited gameplay. A shame as it looks adorable from the outside but when playing it becomes super obvious this needed so much more time invested.. this is NOT a full release game, do not be fooled!

Me gustó el juego, pero gustaría mas si estuviera en español, así entender un poco mas de la trama.
