Featured Game Released Last Week: Coral Island
Numerous games follow a familiar premise, making it tempting to dismiss them, but Coral Island defies expectations by injecting a sense of freshness and excitement. Despite traversing well-trodden ground in certain aspects, this farming/life simulation competes strongly with Stardew Valley, surpassing it in various aspects.
The game introduces an environmentalist perspective early on, revealing a plot involving an oil company threatening the picturesque coral reef surrounding the island. Players combat this threat by donning a diving suit, cleaning up the sea, and restoring damaged coral—an activity among many that fill the leisure time in Coral Island. While rooted in farming simulation, where players tend to expansive lands for crops and trees, the game also features a monster-filled mine to explore and numerous townspeople to meet, befriend, and potentially marry.
Coral Island stands out in the farming/life simulation genre by incorporating an environmentalist angle and a narrative rich in spirit-flavored magic. Whether farming, socializing, fishing, bug-catching, diving, mining, or foraging, players may also find themselves engrossed in quests for the mysterious Island Goddess or the forest-dwelling Chieftain.
The Bottom Line
Amidst a saturated market of similar games, Coral Island may seem, on paper, like just another entry in the genre. However, in practice, it proves to be one of the most gratifying experiences, boasting stunning visuals, a robust mission system, unparalleled player freedom, and genuinely unique concepts. It stands as a game that promises long-term engagement, and I anticipate returning to it for months to come.
Game released on November 14th on all platforms. Currently (as of today) it is $29.99 on Steam.
