Sugardew Island
SCORE: 68
Did you enjoy the livestreams I performed of Sugardew Island. This is
an interesting animal and farming simulator that reminds me of the
Harvest Moon or Story of Season video games. We are this young lady that
winds up on an island that has fallen in disrepair. In the past humans,
animals and spirits all worked in harmony. Things went badly and the
animals left. Then the humans decided to leave as well. The head spirit
became broody.
There are two main aspects to Sugardew Island. The first one is clearing
the land, planting, and harvesting. The second aspect to Sugardew Island
is selling the items in the store. We can sell anything we can find to
whatever we can craft. Spirits will come into the store and either buy
items or they will want to renegotiate a better price. We are then given
a choice of a price to offer them.
Stamina goes really fast in Sugardew Island. Progress is extremely slow
in Sugardew Island. I learned that rainy days were my friend in this
video game. Why? I did not lose almost all my stamina on watering the
plants. Chopping down trees and breaking rocks also drains that stamina
really fast in Sugardew Island. The targeting of where we will do
something is a pain to work with.
The main spirit will give us tasks in Sugardew Island. Complete the task
to get some more animals. Those animals will give you free seeds. There
are also these elemental like spirits that want things from the player.
No money for that though. In just under four hours I got close to
completing off one of the animal islands. Families should get twenty
plus hours out of this video game.
Sugardew Island looks okay. The whole selling reminds me of the Harvest
Moon Grand Bazaar. The progress in Sugardew Island felt way too slow to
me. Energy bars do not give enough stamina. Trees, rocks and weeds spawn
at a faster rate than we can take care of. I wish Sugardew Island had a
better balance there. I did not get animals so that is something else
that could have been done better. The good news is Sugardew Island is
very chill video game.
