Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 17/day in the week to Aug 18 → 46.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

pas mal
Hey everyone ♥ 408 hours later, and I’m honestly just disappointed. I genuinely fell in love with Starsand Island. The farming, building, anime-inspired art style and overall atmosphere completely hooked me. I even supported the game on Kickstarter, and with 401 hours played and every Steam achievement unlocked, I really expected to leave a positive review eventually. Unfortunately, after playing 1.0 + the whole early access, from the beginning again, I can’t. The dating content has improved a little and there are some nice new mini-scenes, but the biggest problem from Early Access is still there: After roughly one in-game year, the game simply runs out of meaningful content. Most of the progression is grinding resources, improving your farm, making money and building your house. That is fun for a while, but eventually you reach the point where there is very little left to work towards. You can build a beautiful home, but in the end it still feels strangely empty. NPC dialogue becomes repetitive, relationships do not feel deep enough, and there is very little meaningful Year 2+ progression. On a second playthrough this becomes even more obvious because you already understand the systems and reach that point much faster. I had hoped that 1.0 would finally add the missing long-term part of the game: deeper NPC interactions, new goals, meaningful late-game systems, more progression and a reason to continue living on the island after the initial grind is finished. Instead, 1.0 still feels surprisingly close to Early Access. I am also disappointed by how much attention seems to have gone into community controversies, contests and discussions around AI while so many long-term players have been asking for actual gameplay content. Personally, I do not care whether the developers use AI-assisted tools or traditional tools behind the scenes. If a tool helps a small team fix bugs faster or create meaningful content more efficiently, I am fine with that. What matters to me is the result. And right now, I would much rather see the studio focus on the game itself. Players have been giving feedback on Discord, reporting bugs, sending logs and files, supporting the game through Early Access and now expressing their frustration under Steam announcements. They are asking for deeper NPCs, meaningful gameplay, long-term progression and real late-game content. Maybe what Starsand Island needs most right now is for the developers to show some courage of their own. Stop trying to react to every controversy and focus on what kind of game you actually want Starsand Island to become. Contests and community events are fine, but they cannot replace actual game content. Please listen to the players who are still here, still playing, still giving feedback and still hoping for the game to become better. Even this Feedback is a last try for me, to reach YOU guys this is becauz I am one of them. 408 hours, every achievement, Kickstarter support — and I am still hoping that one day I can change this review to positive. Have a good one stay healty maybe i change the feedback in the future ♥

Ich habe dieses Spiel vor längerer Zeit im Sale gekauft, als es noch im Early Access war, aber erst jetzt angefangen zu spielen, als 1.0 raus war. Mir war vorher auch nicht bewusst, dass es ein Kickstarter war. Nun, ich kann die hier genannten Kritikpunkte der negativen Bewertungen und die Enttäuschung verstehen, wenn auch nicht nachvollziehen. Vorab möchte ich ein paar Dinge positiv hervorheben, bevor ich mich den in den Rezessionen angesprochenen Kritikpunkten widme. - Die Grafik ist absolut hinreißend. Auch die Menüs sind absolut zuckersüß und bunt gestaltet. Liebe es! - Die Welt ist sehr lebendig, überall kommen die Charaktere ihren Arbeiten nach, Touristen laufen herum, faulenzen am Strand oder bauen dort Sandburgen, spielen Volleyball oder sind einfach irgendwo am Quatschen, Selfies machen oder auch in den Lokalen am Essen. Hierbei wurde auch wundervoll darauf geachtet, dass bei bestimmten Tätigkeiten, wie dem Essen der Charaktere oder Werkeln an ihren Sachen der Sound dazu passt. Überall sind Tiere unterwegs, die man auch adoptieren oder Insekten, die man sogar fangen kann, so wie die Fische in den Gewässern. Mega toll! - Es gibt sehr viel zu erkunden, zu sehen und zu sammeln. - Man kann hüpfen und schwimmen! Sogar verschiedene Vehikel kann man fahren, wie Mopeds oder Autos. - Die Charaktere haben tolle Persönlichkeiten und jeweils schöne Backgroundstories. - Die Tiere sind super cute! - Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten sein Zuhause und sich selbst zu designen. Im Bau-Modus ist einem von der Gestaltung her keine Grenzen gesetzt! Was mich selbst sehr betrübt ist, dass eine Hochzeit nicht möglich ist. Aber immerhin kann man die Jungs und Mädels toll daten und auch kann man immerhin mit ihnen zusammenziehen, was auch schön ist. Dass das Spiel nur dessen Originalsprache Chinesisch, Japanisch und Englisch anbietet stört mich persönlich gar nicht. Ich spiele Spiele dieser Art eh meist auf Englisch, da die deutsche Übersetzung meist nur mit dem Translator passiert und da ist es meistens so schlimm, dass man irgendwann geduzt, gesiezt oder geeucht wird. Und das oft von ein und demselben Charakter, als würde derjenige vergessen, wie man sich nun anspricht. Deswegen, wie gesagt, stört mich es nicht auf Englisch zu spielen. Dass viele Versprechen des Founders nicht eingehalten wurden, kann ich nicht nachvollziehen, da ich wie gesagt nicht wusste, dass es vorher bei Kickstarter war. Von Bugs habe ich bisher nur mitbekommen, dass man ab und zu denselben Dialog quasi doppelt macht, bevor man das Gespräch tatsächlich beenden kann. Ansonsten habe ich noch keine Bugs entdeckt. Dass die Charaktere die Tiefgründigkeit einer Wurst haben, das kann ich gar nicht bestätigen. Ich bin mit Spielen von Harvest Moon groß geworden und hatte vor kurzem erst zwei Titel von Story of Seasons gespielt. Da ist das, was mir bei Starsand Island an Charaktertiefe geboten ein fettes Upgrade! Alles in allem bin ich glücklich mit dem Spiel. Ich hoffe dennoch für alle, dass die deutsche Sprache noch kommt und auch, dass wir unsere Lieblinge heiraten können.
Loving this game so much!!! So many quality of life features, everything I've been I had been searching for in a new game to be addicted too!! :)
BUG太多了
补偿DLC在哪呢哇
It's like My Time at Portia/Sandrock- but better! The art style is prettier, crafting is less annoying, navigating the world is much easier ...and fun on rollerblades :) ! If you love those games, get this! And if you haven't played those games- then consider it like a Story of Seasons, but less farming- more crafting which is good to mix it up a little bit!
Viciante, o jogo é muito gostosinho, história legal e fácil de jogar❤️
I enjoyed my play through time. I will probably continue with a few more hours here and there when the mood strikes. I feel the story has been played through. I'd love to see some additional DLC added on in the future. Nice game play, solid story, the grind isn't terrible. I got sucked in, but I wouldn't return without some major additions.
WOW WA WE WAH!!! I Can't recommend this game enough. Might delete all my husbands games on here so he can only play this with me
