So, there’s this game, ISLANDERS: New Shores. It’s like a sequel, but not in the traditional sense, more like a next chapter, if that makes any sense. Anyway, back in 2019 there was this original, right? No subtitle. And now, here comes this cozy, almost Zen-like puzzle thing about building up islands. We’re talking cities, shaman huts, lighthouses… and other cool stuff. And guess what? No timer! You just chill and take your sweet time placing things to rack up points. The music? Totally soothing. The design? Minimalist but in a way that’s super inviting. Seriously, you could just lose hours in it and think, “Where’d the time go?”
Kicking things off, you start on this tutorial island. It’s simple, shows you the ropes, but doesn’t give everything away. Kinda like a teaser trailer. The goal? Buildings get you points. Put ’em next to matching stuff, get even more points. You’re dealt these building cards, like “Brickmaker” or “Seaweed Farm.” And you’re off. Score enough points, get a new card. And oh, New Shores adds these boons—bonus stuff like extra points or cloning buildings, but there’s a catch with penalties. Once you’ve hit the point jackpot on one island, you’re faced with a choice: move on to the next? Or stay, milk it for all it’s worth?
Move on, and boom, your score is calculated. Multipliers sneak in—like, how many boons or how few undo’s you’ve used. And then, you dive right into another island. Each one’s got its own climate, personality, and vibe. The main mode, High Score, is all about hitting those numbers. But hey, there’s also Sandbox Mode—playground for the creative souls. Design your own island: size, shape, climate, everything. Dream come true, right?
On this Switch 2, game runs like butter, mostly. Tiny hiccups when trying subtle building moves though, which can be a real head-scratcher. You’d think mouse mode would be neat here, except, news flash, that’s a no-go for now. Despite that, the shiny new menus and structures make this feel richer than its predecessor. The urge to keep climbing that leaderboard is alive and well.
So yeah, ISLANDERS: New Shores? Probably gonna be a permanent fixture on my Switch. Perfect for winding down. It’s that friendly puzzle game that’ll hook fans of the original while luring new peeps into this chill, islandy experience. End of story. Or is it just the beginning?
