I enjoyed Amber Isle! The gameplay is pretty nice and the story is extremely endearing. While it is rough around the edges in some aspects, it’s definitely a worthwhile playthrough. THE GOOD - The character design is absolutely adorable. There’s a lot of nice representation of interesting prehistoric animals that you don’t typically see in media. - Almost every paleofolk has a lovable personality. - The story is fun! - The character creator has a lot of variety. (I hope they will continue to add more dinos in the future!) - Environments are detailed and every biome has good art direction. - I found myself enjoying a lot of songs from the OST! Whether it’s chill or upbeat, it always fits the prehistoric atmosphere. - Exploring the world and unlocking new biomes is very fun. - Gathering resources is satisfying. - Quests are usually pretty easy and every quest unlocks more of a paleofolk’s story. THE BAD - Gameplay is repetitive after a while. - There are too many craftable items that have almost identical attributes. - There’s not really any reason to craft the higher tier items to sell. I ended up just selling some of the early game items that I leveled up and easily completed the game with more than enough money. - Inventory management is not bad, but gets annoying. - The camera is absolutely HORRIFIC. - There is not a lot of variety in decor when you need to decorate a biome. I found that I actually used a majority of the items within the first biome I decorated. You unlock a few more over time, but not nearly enough. - Not optimized well. - A lot of running back and forth between different places. - The game doesn’t tell you why some paleofolk are angry at the stores layout. - Repetitive character dialogue. - The shop part of the game becomes obsolete pretty quickly. - And of course, the bugs… Overall, I’d say give it a shot! It’s very easy to tell that there was a lot of love put into this game. If you’re a dino fan or a cozy game enthusiast, you might enjoy it!
Amber Isle is a fascinating achievement showing how artists can make a game that barely works and it can still be ok. The gameplay itself is fun, similar to other cozy games of the style. You get resources, you make stuff, you open your shop, rinse and repeat. The character designs are also great, so it's fun to meet new dinos and get them all moved in. It is also, somehow, programmed in the most baffling way I have ever seen a game do it. This game flip flops between being a game for controller and a game for keyboard and mouse almost CONSTANTLY. If you're out travelling and gathering resources, controller is the only way to play, as the original hotkeys for keyboard are really, really bad. But the movement on controller is too finicky for the building sections or for basic character customization, requiring a mouse for precise inputs. The camera never really figures out what it's doing, either. Some items and interactables are only visible in a top down POV, which looks, objectively, terrible. Climbing a hill towards the camera causes it to freak out and clip into your model until you're at the top of the hill. There's no outlines for NPC models behind objects, so finding a specific character on the map (especially in wooded areas) comes down to finding their icon on the minimap and mashing interact until you can talk to them. There's a waterfall with a "secret" behind it that isn't modeled properly, so going to a spot high up next to the waterfall just completely shows the thing behind it. This game is incredible because I genuinely don't understand how it functions most of the time. But if you like dinosaurs and cute characters and just need something to grind out, it's worth getting on sale!
I feel like I shouldn't give this game a good review. I mean, this game really has a lot of polishing issues rivalling Pokemon Scarlet And Violet. The camera spazzes out a lot when going behind cliffs or talking to people, character animations glitch up, some cutscenes don't work properly, laying tiles on areas is wonky and oftentimes looks glitchy or covers up things like one of the villager's fishing ponds. You'd think, after about a year or two, a lot of this would be patched up, yet it feels like the devs just... haven't. It's really disappointing to see the game be this buggy after so much time. ...So why am I still giving this game a good review? Well, to be honest, most of these glitches, while they do effect immersion, don't really effect gameplay. The characters are cute and charming. They could be deeper, but it's rare to see cozy games where all the characters are different in their own way. The game, while weirdly paced at times (like getting the great shovel a minute after getting the good shovel) is nicely paced for the most part, with things unlocking gradually, not too fast to deter people from playing further, but not too slow to make the grind feel like a chore. But I also really just like games that let me play as a charming character. There's so few games that let you play as dinosaurs, and most of them are not good. The character customization in this is pretty good, and I was able to make a pretty charming character I could connect with. And, ultimately, that is the number one thing I look for in games: a charming and likable protagonist I can feel good playing as, and this game has it. I feel like I'd still recommend Critter Cove over this: more polish, less bugs, and it maintains a lot of the charm, but I still enjoyed this game.
I would recommend this game, with a big caution attached. This game seems a bit clunky still, like they are still figuring it out. The character design was VERY detailed, and I was able to make a really cute character. The clothing options were lacking though. The gameplay seems a bit off. The character moves a little wonky at times, and like, you click on a door and suddenly your character stands at attention facing the camera, before going through. Also, the camera has 2 positions. 1 almost complete overhead and 2 facing your character. This is tough, especially when you need to walk towards the camera. You can't see where you are going, or what is in front of you. I REALLY wish they would give more camera options. The game works somewhat using my controller, but I can't play it well using the keyboard and mouse only, so that is a bit awkward but not awful. It's cute, and has a LOT of potential. I just wish it were more polished.
"Finished" the game in the sense that I finished all major stories and areas. A pros and cons list incoming. Pros: - Good bones to the game. It's a decently fun gameplay loop of crafting and selling items along with making friends with townsfolk and customizing areas that you unlock. - Adorable aesthetic. It's just cute. I got to be a cute deer-like creature with huge horns, lil fangs, and a sweater. Need I say more? You can customize your dinosaur/creature to your heart's content. - Surprisingly good characterization/writing. With how cutesy it was, I wasn't expecting for each character to, upon initial meeting, be an example of a cliche (ex: mob boss type, a book nerd, a rocker, etc) and then proceed to adorably yet believably recharacterize them as you get to know them. That was an extremely pleasant surprise of depth. Cons: - Quickly repetitive gameplay loop. While it's a decently fun gameplay loop, it unfortunately becomes a little bit tedious pretty quickly. Run around, grab everything you can carry in your always slightly too small backpack, go back to craft things, sell them, go to bed, and repeat. Maybe talk to some people in between somewhere to gain friendship and further their personal quests. Having the ability to have npcs follow you to gain favor is a nice addition, but it too becomes repetitive since you don't really interact with them in any meaningful way when doing this. - No motivating factor to keep playing. This one is hard for me to describe, but besides the main quest there doesn't really feel like a big motivator to keep doing things. I'm unfortunately not heavily involved or invested in the npcs, even if they are cute and endearing. There's also a cap for each NPC relationship and development that feels just a little too easy to hit too early on. The gameplay loop isn't quite fun enough to keep me wanting to play it on it's own past the story, so it just feels like it's missing a little something. That could just be a personal opinion though. Honestly, it's a really nice take on the shopkeeper gameplay that's also absolutely adorable yet surprisingly not too 'childish' feeling in it's cuteness. It's a solid game for sure and complaints of mine are minor. There's room to improve, sure, but it is in no way a bad game or not worth the time.
