Len's Island

I loved this game. I would describe it as a "cosy game" but not quite. There is farming, mining fishing all the usual stuff you would expect in a game like this. The dungeons are fun and they get much harder in cursed mode. Playing with a friend is advised as some of the levels can be quite a chore by yourself. Overall the devs did a good job. I'm disappointed they seemingly abandoned the game after 1.0 as I feel there was more that could have been added but oh well. 8/10 for me.

The control system is quite poor; movement isn't smooth, and there aren't many options for the player. You are forced to fight difficult dungeons right from the start in order to progress.

Lens island is a good game with beautiful scenery and music. It has a nice balance of cozy building and combat which consists of melee, dodge roll, blocking, special attacks and archery. It has a fun game-play loop with a good building system, farming and foraging, hunting and fishing, alchemy, mining and smiting, exploration and treasure looting. It also has a satisfying progression with a skill tree and quests/milestones with rewards. There is unlock-able passive resource gathering outposts around the map, and you can access those resources from your base. There is a fast travel system where you can place portals wherever you like though they're expensive at first. You can make loads of money selling your produce and you can play blackjack. I reached 100 percent in around 80 hours with a simple base. The end game items and enhancements were better then I thought they would be. Some of the stuff you can get is very cool. There is a fun tower defense aspect with a raid event where the full moon makes your crops grow fast and makes enemies spawn, so your defending your base while gardening. You can skip this raid by sleeping and you can save your game at any time. Its sort of like V…

Len's Island is fun for one playthrough. It's a beautiful and poorly optimized mess. There sadly is not a lot of content and the post-game is boring with barely increased dungeon/boss difficulties so I wouldn't really recommend it. Len's Island feels incomplete. Resource progression probably wasn't planned out all that well and especially not for multiplayer. When my friends and I started playing together we quickly hit progression bottlenecks and had to wait for resources to respawn. Multiplayer is definitely just an afterthought for the developer's vision.

All around fun survival / building game.
