Starsand Island

大量对话没有配音，没有新内容，也能叫正式版？大失所望

I bought this for me and my friend, as we were playing plenty of coop games and decided to try on a new genre. I noticed this game at the end of 2025 and was really excited when Early Access came out. I just saw this like some different kind of My Time at Portia game, but with online coop included - that's it. When Early Access came out - I felt sad that coop was not available and I was not able to play it with my friend on the day we were so excited about. However, we did play on our separate worlds and just chat with each other on Discord, laugh and everything else. The game was certainly good to keep our attention to spend 100 hours and more on the game. Next, we were even more excited on the official release announcement - yay, coop! We'll start a new world and start from scratch! Nu-uh. You both need to have a character do some simple tasks (going by my 100h experience - I've done crazier things here), doable in 1h. Yay, done that. Now we can play together, romance NPCs together and go through all the professions together in the same world! Nope. As far as I've understood, many if not most crucial or "story" tasks are.. well.. locked out in multiplayer. And not just for the friend that is your "guest" on the island. You too, the host, are locked out of these tasks.. because they are unavailable for multiplayer... Needless to say, I got disappointed - I guess I've expected coop progression like in Stardew Valley and My Time at Sandrock. Oh and yeah, in case that matters for your playthrough in coop (as it usually does in such farming sim games) - you can't romance NPCs in the guest world - you're like in a parallel universe, where characters you have plenty of hearts with have amnesia and they see you for the first time. [i]Although it kinda makes sense to me..[/i] As a guest on your friend's island, you don't even have the Social tab on your phone. No Buy Land tab, no Island progression tab [i](which can make certain sense, given it's not exactly your island)[/i] - but can't we just set it up so the island belongs to both of us? No, you can't. More so - even if you can ride on your personal vehicles - you can only let your coop friend ride as passenger. I wanted my friend to try out every vehicle I had just for the sake of it.. Wait... You can't drive other people's personal vehicles. But I want to allow it, I give you the keys and permission, bu-u-ut in-game - you can't technically do it. At all. Starsand Island coop, at least at its current state of release - is just literally visiting someone else's island as a museum - and while you can interact with a lot of stuff and exchange items - the host can't do much of the quests while you're their guest. I kinda get it, but certainly not what I hoped for. It feels truly raw. Needless to say, other reviews mentioned that story feels pretty flat, NPCs are weak and etc. [b]They are[/b]. The reason why it did not bother me that much - I'm not much of a lore or reading guy - I come from Factorio, I just automate stuff and solely care about creating cooler items and make insane money off of automations. Still - if dialogues, story and lore matters to you - I can't really suggest this game to you. I had my fun with this game, my friend did too, but I can't say it's great and you'll love it. It depends. Read other reviews and think about it a little more before buying. Yours truly, [i]"Yay, I can finally take selfies with my friend and have a ride together!!"[/i] P.S.: The game did get some optimization when it came out of Early Access. Props to that.
