Starsand Island

empty shell of a game, there is no life outside of what you build on your little plot. real-life wait times to create materials for building is a big no for me (it's giving mobile game vibes) and i find it annoying and slow since i mostly got the game to decorate and build. npcs are basically lifeless. there's no story or plot, if that's something you care about, i do at least a little bit. wish i could get a refund but i accidentally left the game open while i left to run errands and now i cant get my money back lol

I regret buying this game GENUINELY

Added Russian language!

Выдержал полчаса. За это время меня успело взбесить многое. - Огромное количество разговоров вначале. Тебе буквально не дают сделать ничего, держат за аутиста. - Обязательная подруга детства или надоедливая девочка, чьи разговоры нельзя пропустить. Ага, счас, у азиатов это больная тема - проехали. - Хорошо, я понимаю, что производство в игре это плюс. Но нафига, в подобие 21 века КАМЕННЫЙ ТОПОР? В стардеве это хотя бы обыгрывались - вот тебе инструменты, от деда остались, немного ржавые, но работать можно и это гуд. Да и в целом, показан персонаж как клерк - далеко не каждый клерк и сообразит как это сделать, нет привычки к такому труду. - Клише на клише следом. Ну чес слово - нафиг вы мне с в своими разговорами не сдались, человек от вас людей и уехал в деревню Кукуево, не преследуйте его. - Пустые персонажи, все стерильно и неинтересно.

這款遊戲給我的感覺就是，看起來什麼都有，種田、養動物、採礦、蓋房子、裝潢、NPC、戀愛、職業、戰鬥、島嶼擴建，好像內容很豐富，但真的玩下去會發現很多東西都只是「有放進來」，並沒有真的做深，也沒有串成一個好玩的核心。 它表面上是小島慢活生活遊戲，但實際玩起來比較像農場打卡上班。每天就是一直做重複的事情，賺錢、收材料、解鎖下一個更貴的東西，然後再繼續賺錢、收材料。土地、房子、車子、擴建成本都不低，遊戲節奏被數值拖得很重。這種設計不是完全不能接受，但問題是遊戲本身的內容深度撐不起這些消耗，所以玩久了不太像在島上生活，比較像被派去島上當勞工。 NPC和劇情也是我覺得很可惜的地方。生活模擬遊戲最重要的應該是世界有沒有活起來，角色有沒有記憶點，互動有沒有讓人想繼續看下去。但目前NPC對話和事件都偏薄，戀愛感也不強，很多角色比較像功能選單，不像真的住在島上的人。對一款主打生活和社交的小島遊戲來說，這點蠻傷的。 Bug 和完成度也還有很多問題。動物、機器人、建築、交通工具、節慶、任務、操作、效能，各種地方都能看到還沒打磨好的痕跡。EA 有問題可以理解，但現在不是「差一點就完成」的狀態，而是很多系統都還很粗糙。 另外我覺得這款首發評價本身就很怪。EA 第一天就有一千七百多篇評價、九成好評，但同時在線峰值也就一萬多人。這不是說一定是假評價，畢竟同時在線不等於總玩家數，但這個評價速度跟遊戲熱度的比例真的不太自然。後面又出現疑似機器人好評、低遊玩時數、帳號模式相似之類的爭議，官方雖然否認，但至少讓我很難相信這款遊戲首發評價完全能代表正常玩家體驗。對我來說，這也是我不推薦的原因之一。

Been playing this game since Early Access, and I hadn't been invested into a farming game since Stardew Valley. I've been a big fan of farming sims for a long time. If there is a farming sim out there, chances are that I would have played it, if not have it on my wishlist. Starsand Islands is however more than a farming sim. There is exploration, quests, friendships and even romance. However, with this game being recently out of EA, I find that there seems to be more bugs and glitches then there seems to be in EA. One of it being a quest breaking bug in which I can't get the cat as a pet. Hopefully, the devs will look into those glitches and bugs soon, as otherwise, this is a very fun game and I can easily sink hours into it.

正式版没有看到一点好的改变

I enjoy this game a lot! It is definitely more laid back with no real pressuring plot (some small things to make the island better) but you are just another islander living your life and I just really enjoy it. There are occasional bugs but nothing I haven't run into before when playing video games, and often can be fixed with a quick closing of the game and re-opening. I did research on the AI allegations and it had to do with a slew of fake positive reviews in the beginning, but there is debate about who was behind that. Other things claimed as AI by viewers are-- honestly pretty typical bugs with CGI or common art mistakes that humans make all the time when making digital art. The only thing that didn't particularly sit right with me upon my research were the original backers not getting their keys for the game with claims they were lost.
