April 2025
Ylands is a whimsical sandbox adventure where you can build, explore, and survive in a world that looks like it was crafted from origami by a hyperactive child. You start as a shipwrecked adventurer with nothing but a loincloth and an unreasonable amount of optimism. From there, the world is your oyster — assuming oysters come in low-poly and occasionally try to eat you. The game offers a plethora of activities: • Crafting: Combine sticks, stones, and sheer willpower to create tools, weapons, and questionable fashion choices. • Exploration: Traverse diverse biomes, from tropical paradises to icy wastelands, all while questioning your life choices. • Building: Construct everything from cozy cottages to elaborate castles, and then watch as a wild boar decides to move in. Multiplayer adds another layer of chaos. Team up with friends to build a floating fortress, only to realize none of you know how to sail. Or engage in friendly PvP, which quickly devolves into a slapstick comedy of errors. While Ylands has had its share of controversies — like locking key features behind DLCs — it’s made strides in improving the player experience. Recent updates have addressed many concerns, making the game more accessible and enjoyable. As one player noted, “I played it for a good bit with some friends and enjoyed it a lot. Ships and sailing are what initially drew me into it but the rest is quite enjoyable too.” Final score: 7.5 out of 10. Ylands is a charming, if occasionally clunky, sandbox adventure that offers a unique blend of creativity and survival. It’s perfect for those who enjoy building, exploring, and the occasional unexpected bear attack.

I like that the game is free but i don’t like it is a micro game while yes many stuff in shop is amazing i specially love the blueprint side but i also hate it as a gorgeous elven ship costs £1000 just for a blueprint while yes you can get money in shop by achievement but is not enough and that price is stupid for a blueprint for the actual ship to spawn in world? Yes but a blueprint !?? No so i will give this game as smooth it is on controls and eyes and as gorges it hides i will sadly give this a 50/50% recommendation

I've owned this game for a while now and it's gone through plenty of changes. I'll say however that it's latest major updates have changed it for the better quite a bit. The exploration mode (which costs in game currency) is actually really fun and can earn you lots of in game currency just doing quests. But the exploring aspect is quite well done now and much more interesting than the early days. For new and old players, I'd say now is the time to come back and take a look. My only major problem is that the melee combat is a little weird but it's not too bad. TLDR: New updates make to exploration make the game worth playing.
