So after spending over 300 hours on this game and getting all of the 51 achievements – I have the following thoughts: Before you play this game do your research- otherwise you will be trapped in an endless cycle of fun, frustration, fun and “oh yeah I did it –I rock this game” for at least 3 game years. This game is deep both literally (there’s and Ocean to explore) and figuratively. If you have played Stardew Valley and wished it was 3d – this is your game. If you enjoy the challenge of crafting , framing, fishing and town politics this is your game. If you enjoy first person shooters – this is not your game. Things I wished I knew before I started: • Farm planning is a real good idea • Understand what fish can be caught in what locations on what days of the month in what type of weather • Understand that some fish can only be caught in the Mines • Some characters are Jerks even after you marry them (Mark). • The dating dialog is much better than the marriage dialog. • I love the Merfolk • The jealousy system (if you turn if on) is rather annoying – kinda like real life in some cases Tips: • Read the wiki at least twice. • Plan out starting over at least twice – because you will miss a critical environmental element • Buy stuff – like scarecrows at events (remember I told you) • Learn how the developers designed a multiple save framework so you can save time while you trying out different spouse candidates. • Be on the lookout for the various homages to Stardew Valley. One in particular – a certain shopkeeper has a name very similar to Concerned Ape (I loved this – double thumbs up for this) • Build and upgrade evenly – the game operates on multiple interconnected levels that rely on certain competencies. That said cleaning the Ocean quest seems to provide a catalyst for the rest of the game. Overall I am rating this game a 10. I have 14 different save files going (one for each of my spousal candidates) in anticipation that the developers will knock it out of the park with the next update in 2027. SO developers – when can I actually sit in the chairs that I put in my house? – not that I really use the house furniture because I usually pass out from working to late and then have one of the town folks drag my sorry a$$ home. Its fun, Its Frustrating. I don’t Like Mark. I like Yuri and one of the twins. Can I please keep Taco?
I'm going to be approaching this review from the point of view of an avid Stardew Valley player. For reference, I have over 2000 hours into Stardew across multiple platforms, I've 100 percent completed the game multiple times, have the board game, have gone to concerts for the game, one could say I'm a fan. I'm using Stardew as my base for the review of this game for two reasons, the first is because this game is formulaically EXACTLY like Stardew, and because Stardew is such a titan in its genre, I'm guessing 95 percent of you looking at this game have either played or heard of Stardew before. For those who haven't I'm sorry, this review may not be for you. Anyway, this game like I said is extremely comparable, you start off with a poopy farm, the town is a mess, its up to you to fix it all up. There's datable NPC's, all the same skills in Stardew; Farming, Fishing, Mining, Foraging, Combat but also Ranching, Diving and Catching. That's sort of the theme of this game, its everything Stardew but expanded on. There's more quests, more NPC's more crops, more animals, more cutscenes, more to do in general. Also think of any quality of life update you've wanted in Stardew and its there. You can see villagers on the map wherever you are, you can track when and where you need to go to see their cutscenes, all your storage on your farm is universally available when crafting so no need to dig into 17 different chests when you need to make something, heck you don't even need to be ON the farm to craft. I'll be in the mines and think "hmm I need some bombs, but I don't have materials on me." Just open the craft menu and use the 100's of coal and ore from my chests at home to make some bombs real quick. There's so many quality of life upgrades, I could go on for ages listing all of them but its better to discover some on your own. This game feels like it was made by fans of Stardew Valley, and once again I apologize if you're reading this and haven't played Stardew but this was the best way I could review this game was by making it a 1 to 1 comparison. I really like the variety of townsfolk, there's far more ethnic diversity and inclusivity, while not coming across as "agenda-y". The feeling of being a part of the community is a lot more immersive for me, for one logistically the town makes way more sense from an economical point of view. There's twice as many villagers but also the town is famous as a resort location so you'll see random people walking around especially in cutscenes that give it a layer of believability. The townsfolk talk regularly about current events or things that have happened as a result of the player. They will initiate hang out request as your friendship grows with them so that you don't feel like the relationships are always one-sided. In that regard and many others, I really like this game more than Stardew. Now to talk about the things it doesn't do as good in, because there are a few. For one, the music is no where close as good as Stardew's. Not that its bad in any regard but I find myself frequently turning the volume all the way up just to even hear it. Like I said, its not bad, its sets the mood right in most situations but that's about it, you never really bop to anything. Another thing is even though FORMULAICALY mining and combat are pretty much the same, there's just something about Coral Islands that just doesn't hit anywhere as good. The monsters are all kinda boring looking and combat is waaay to easy, like its pretty much trivial. Finding ladders also takes forever because there's a lot more rocks per level so it takes forever to find a ladder unless you use bombs. Lack of stamina and food compounds this pretty bad early game, I find it almost impossible to get more than 5 levels in a day until you upgrade your tools and stamina. There is a skull caverns esq version of the mines in Coral Island but its pretty weak sauce combat wise once again. The loot is pretty good though, it is fun to bomb everything and see what you get. Those are definitely the biggest flaws in comparison to Stardew, there's also only 1 farm layout you can choose, so replayability might suffer for those who like to try a different farm each time. Anything else is nitpicky and not necessarily objectively better or worse. All that said, this game is EXTEREMLY good and I find myself truly wondering which game I prefer these days and that's something I thought I'd never say. If you've made it this far and are still thinking of whether or not to play it, just do it! This game gets an easy 10/10 and thats my review folks.
Obviously I love this game. There is so much to enjoy. I really like how you can efficiencymaxx with so many upgrades, the research mechanic, etc. There's more variety in this game than most others in the genre, and that's in every category: plants, enemies, museum finds, townsfolk and on and on. They have also very clearly prioritized inclusivity, which is great! The world is incredibly charming and especially the non-humans add such a whimsical layer to Coral Island. However, it *feels like* in an act to be super inclusive or perhaps really embrace being part of the cozy game sphere, any semblance of challenge has been stripped away from the game. Maybe this is just what the devs were shooting for, I don't know. Clearly the game is not meant for kids, but everything is so easy that if you have any experience with stardew or the like you just cannot fail. Some of the things I've noted : - can't miss a fish biting, and the fishing is super easy as well - trash no longer takes time to reel in (no annoyance, yes, but also less pay off when you get a cool fish!) - warned about crops withering every day for 7 days in before season ends - enemies don't hurt much/really easy to kill (no real sense of danger). in fact, you can just avoid them all together since you have to be 1 pixel away from them to gain aggro, even in default setting. this also makes cooking meals feel pretty much useless (no need for buffs or hp recovery) - warned a lot before you pass out, warned about everything, actually (no need for trial and error) - auto-ejected from diving before it gets too late - no puzzles that aren't incredibly obvious (no thinking required) Now again, if this is on purpose, then you've really achieved the lowest stress farming sim of all time, but for someone who plays many types of games, I really wish this had ANY challenge at all. It feels like my hand is constantly held, and any risks are baby gated so hard I never ran a real chance of running into them. Maybe something like game modes could be considered in the future? A no-stress mode for people who want to chill, a PG mode for children (noticed there is some romance content you can disable in settings), and an expert mode for those who prefer a challenge. I love your game , truly, and have been playing since before The Reset (lol), but I take looong breaks in between play sessions because it's just too easy. But again, maybe I missed something and this is just how it was always meant to be.
After 265 hours, I have finally finished my playthrough of this wonderful game. There is much to say about Coral Island. The villagers are pretty well written with people coming from all different walks of life, actually being diverse, and being pretty inclusive. The farming aspect is about the same as Stardew Valley's which is far from a negative and it even actually expands more after you reach a certain part of the main story. It is hard specifically to talk about the farming aspect because of how much of it is tied the main story's progression. But going back to how the cast of characters, I will also have to give props to the devs for how they focused on the characters because it's not just how they were written but also how they were designed. You got people with tattoos, people with different body shapes, body hair, stretch marks, ect. the little things so often left out in other games that also tell you about the characters. Like I know what type of person Antonio is the moment you speak to him during Spring and you get met not only an outfit that looks more expensive than the whole island but also just a chest full of hair, you know he is suave without even having to talk to him since this is also reflected on his sprite and not just on his portrait. It is just a shame that a lot of these things are not stuff you can give your own character, tattoos were a post-launch addition that they locked behind a very lengthy and very tedious portion on the game and zero body hair options although they allow you to change your character completely whenever you want. You started your character as a man but now you want them to be a woman? No need to restart, just go to the salon and redesign your character and you can go to the community center to change formal title (although the dialog in the game avoids using gender specific pronouns when addressing your character). I also have to give a bit a praise to the game for not shying away from having adult themes like Charles (the town doctor) dealing with the after effects of being cheated on by his ex with another one of the villagers (who will also talk to you about how much they regret it). One of the couples experience a miscarriage during the course of their storyline. I married Surya and when you speak to him during Costume Day (Halloween) after you commit to him, he asks about some potential costume play action and during one of the years the next day did start with a Woohoo scene (Sims styled sex scene which can happen randomly at the start of a day) so I guess one year my character was into him dressed up as Sponge Bob... yes Surya's costume for the game's Halloween is legally distinct Sponge Bob. Another aspect I wasn't expecting going into this game was coming out with knowledge of Indonesian dishes. A lot of the food in the game are Indonesian and so quite a bit of food I personally did not know existed, it was a lot of fun running into new food that I then looked up and now want to actually try because they look and sound delicious. Anyways, for the actual negatives with the game, the game does have slight performance issues where you can see the screen jump as it loads stuff in while you're running around. I noticed this as a constant when the world switches during day and night spawns for fish and insects (around 6pm in-game) and outside of that this issue only started becoming more consistent the more I expanded my farm with crops and decorations. It never got to the point that the game was unplayable but it got increasingly more noticeable. There is also the problem of the base game kinda not being done. The game was funded heavily through Kickstarter with all of the goals for additional content being developed and added to the game post-launch which is not a problem but the game has been out for over 2 years at this point and not all of those promised additions are in the game yet and in fact one of them just got pushed back to the major update that is releasing after this next one. While I don't think this is a problem and gives a reason to keep picking the game back up when one of the promised big features do finally get released, you should know that the game you are buying is fully playable with a start and end to it but it isn't the finished game it is getting updates that add in the promised content to the base game that changes aspects of the base game, like more romanceable characters (there is no divorce feature, so you would need to start a new game to experience any new romances if you marry someone) and the update that just recently got pushed back is going to let the kids on the island grow up a couple of years older over the course of your game, and these updates are taking a while to all be added into the game. I do not know when I will return to Coral Island, I'm sure I definitely will whenever that Pokyo updated releases since I have to see what the town looks like, but I do love this game and I'm excited to see what this game will look like with all the planned updates are released.
