Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands

I would say this game is average, It isn't bad but it isn't anything special either. The gameplay is alright, it's mostly a peaceful or cozy survival crafting gathering game, there is some combat near the end of the main story and as much optional combat as you want at the end game. The story is very generic, The music isn't anything of note, to be honest I just finished it a little while ago and I've already forgotten it. The gameplay loop is well done with the exception of a few instances where randomly the game decides you can't do something because you're in the middle of a quest even though it let you in the middle of other quests. The story itself can probably be finished in 12 - 15 hours if you rush and follow a guide, if you're a completionist add another 7 - 15 hours onto that. In my opinion the side content is a lot more grindy than it needs to be, when I finished the game I was below level 20 on the soup despite making it every time I returned to camp and that slows all of the rest of the completionist content down. In the end I had to go through a painful cycle of sleeping and making soup over and over again so I could get the rest of the unlocks to finish everything an…

pretty fun lol

I love the vernacular this game uses. – u – + Very charming, cosy, and pleasing to me, this game. + Discovering recipes by smashing together ingredients was deemed “A fun way to add more real-life into the game”. + Though similar-looking, each island has their own unique biome. + Many areas elicited an “Oo! I like this~” + They make it seem like food and cooking is a huge deal...but I got by just fine without it. + You're thankfully-told what the point of no…

Slow, clunky and not enough content - typical of Rokaplay titles. So much potential, doesn't meet expectations.

My nephew got me this game and it was a fun chill game. My only complaint is the fishing mechanic is frustrating.

Meh! It's a game. It's ok, nothing exceptional. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it, is because it's a grind to complete 100%. If you want to just play through the story, the game is very short. If you want all the achievements, you're going to be doing the same tasks over & over & over again. If you don't mind a grind, Stranded Sails is at least functional & not entirely boring.
