Review

ISLANDERS: New Shores brings a fresh wave of creativity to the beloved puzzle sim, maintaining the core charm while adding delightful new features. The game embraces a zen-like experience, inviting players to build their ideal island retreat without the headache of complicated mechanics. With enhanced menus, a broader range of buildings, and the strategic element of choosing your path, it's hard not to get drawn back into this world. The gameplay retains its addictive nature, giving players that satisfying 'just one more run' feeling, marked by the joy of unlocking new card packs and chasing high scores. However, some long-time fans may find the experience a bit too familiar, as it does not drastically change the essence of the game. Still, for those seeking a peaceful escape or a casual city-building experience, New Shores delivers beautifully.
