Amber Isle

I want to like this game. I really, truly, want to like this game. And I do- it's adorable, if maybe a bit abstracted on the social side of things, but that's fine. The gameplay loop is fun even if I'm not great at it (Trying to remember all the tags on an item is tough, but I understand that knowing them and knowing your merchandise is part of the intended game experience, so I'm not upset about it). It [b]needs[/b] more polish. I reached the initial 20kA goal and shop rank 2 at the same time, and the rank up notification was stuck onscreen while Mayor Clawsworth's talked to me. I had the game eat my cursor at one point and I'm not sure why. I've had customers just not come in for their orders despite being open when they're awake. (This one might be on purpose, I don't actually know if I get penalized for this). The moment that lead me to writing this review, in hope that someone on the dev team sees this and is able to fix it, though, was when I was browsing the crafting menu. I had accepted that I'd have to go back and look through my store stocks to figure out what I needed to make more of- annoying, but acceptable. Only then do I notice, at the top right of each crafting icon, [b]IN PLAIN WHITE TEXT, ON AN OFF-WHITE BACKGROUND[/b], the amount of each item you have. I genuinely did not see it until just now. I really, really want to like this game, and I still recommend it. It's adorable, without some of the stresses that, say, Animal Crossing has (no RTC is a big plus), but...it just needs a bit more polish.

It's a cute game but my tail keeps flapping around like crazy and it's really distracting I'll edit this review later when I get to progress even more

Not too great when this game causes windows to look like someone speed running multiple organ failure one driver/process at a time. To also have developers always insisting the fault is on the player because they "fixed all the problems". Cute game on the surface that needs a fair amount of work under the hood. Anything more than 30 minutes to an hour causes my os to freak out with a bsod that looks very corrupted. Have even babysat my resource monitor to find nothing out of the ordinary with it.

Game will not launch after 21 hours of playtime. I have reinstalled, updated drivers, validated files, deleted folders, restarted my pc, removed my save folder and NOTHING worked

Je ne voulais pas y croire, mais c'est vrai : le jeu pèse 1,80 GO, a une DA de mod [i]Story of Seasons[/i], et il RAME sur un pc de compétition. Je fais tourner ARK en ultra, mais [i]Amber Isle[/i] se traîne. Bon, on pourrait passer outre et s'accrocher, mais c'est un de ces jeux horribles où les dialogues sont muets, le texte défile avec ce bruit insupportable [i]"beuleubeuleu-brop-brop-brop"[/i]. On a le maire de la ville, qui vient direct de donner une quête : rembourser ta dette (tu es arrivé par les airs en cassant le toît). Comment ? ça n'a aucun sens ? attends je t'explique la suite tu vas devoir te farcir tous les dialogues abrutissants et les quêtes de départ pour débloquer le droit de travailler au village. Hey mais reviens ! Pourquoi tu le désinst

I really wanted to like the game, and on some level, I do. But the constant bugs during the beginning (including one where I have to restart my unsaved games) are just pushing me to not recommend the game in its current state. Really a shame, because I like the customization, the shop keeper aspect and the characters seem cute.

a nice lil game to just unwind and enjoy. no need to race the clock to do things (exept for special requests) a simple game of management, crafting and resource collecting. each creature is unique and cute. (being a graduate of 3d animation) i love the environment and characters. the character creation has a good choice of options and even premade ones you can finagle to your liking. tho i did have the mayor t-pose and slide during his ''walk'' wich was funny. another scene also happened with the mayor, he was looking at the wall while talking to me and other characters, he sorta fixed himself when he was talking to just me, not sure if it was supposed to be like that or not. i did get some minor camera glitches (i think it colided with an invisible wall) a friend watched me play it and got it. i did enjoy playing and will continue to play this fun lil game :)
