July 2025

I played the previous version of this for over 200 hours as a way to keep my hands busy while listening to just about anything, like podcasts or lectures. This new versions is so much more fun and allows me to be a bit more strategic. I'll likely have less time to play into it, but already have completed two runs to the 21st island. Will stay my number one game to play whenever I just want to do something for a little bit - much better then being stuck on tiktok lmao.

July 2025

I got the game thinking - its gonna be like my de-stress game, chill and unwind. I was wrong. I played this 3 days straight. I scored 89k on my last game. I'm grieving. I'm planning. I will be back.

July 2025

My original Islanders review praised its incredible cleanliness of design, concept, and execution. Islanders: New Shores is the rare sequel that improves on every single element of the original while introducing genuinely new considerations, making it an entirely improved game. I would have easily given Islanders a 10/10, making Islanders New Shores, I believe, an 11/10.

July 2025

The new developers really understood what made the original Islanders so good and made a big jump forward in quality. Every mechanic from the original game is improved and expanded upon, while the core remains the same. A definite recommend!

July 2025

I loved the first game. Loved. Played too much. This has done what very few games manage to do, improve upon something that just works. I couldn't have imagined how the original could be better, but.. This is better. Hat off. Well done.
