Eden Island

Judging by the title, we know what type of game Eden Island will be. There's a stigma that this will be another crafting and building sim where you build your paradise in a remote world location, left to collect, farm, and construct a peaceful bastion you can be proud of. It's true to an extent, but there's more of a survivalist undertone despite the more reassuring title.

Welcome to Eden Island, a survival game that immerses players in the heart of a lush tropical paradise. As a survivor, you'll embark on an unforgettable journey as you navigate this hyper-realistic island, where your skills and instincts will be tested. What does that mean for the player? We're not quite sure. However, we're eager to discover what this title offers over the many others.

Find My Eden

As a brave survivor of Eden Island, you'll be stranded in a stunning and enigmatic tropical haven. This lush paradise boasts a vibrant ecological tapestry teeming with captivating and magical creatures. Your journey unfolds against a backdrop of lush rainforests and serene beaches, where you'll engage in the art of survival. Chop down trees, amass vital resources, and forge your haven. Hunting and cultivating crops are essential, but there's more to discover.

Eden Island isn't your typical tropical locale. Players will trade resources with the indigenous people while watching for menacing rainforest predators. From grappling with kangaroos to encountering giant pandas in bamboo-laden thickets, your interactions with these worldly denizens promise a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

The game, unfortunately, doesn't bring anything particularly groundbreaking to the table. While the game touts real-time dynamic weather, it falls short of delivering on this promise. The day-night cycle feels unnaturally brief, and the constant rain showers do little to capture the essence of a tropical paradise - unless you are seeking rain-soaked vacations. The immersion factor takes a hit as the rain magically passes through solid structures and water, creating a noticeable disconnect in the game's realism.

One aspect that's notably disappointing in Eden Island is the AI. It's challenging to overlook the subpar performance of the game's artificial intelligence, which regrettably ranks as weak. The AI characters often leave much to be desired regarding believability and responsiveness, which can detract from the overall enjoyment of the experience.

A Long Road to Paradise

In summary, while Eden Island has moments of visual beauty and potential charm, it struggles to stand out in a crowded genre due to its lack of innovation and some noticeable flaws in its execution. Players may find it falling short of their expectations, particularly regarding weather dynamics, immersion, and AI sophistication.
