There’s a lot to be said about the value of casual gaming. The freedom to escape from the daily grind and mindlessly kick back with a game that lets you explore, experience a story, and raise incredibly adorable baby animals on your own little farm. Starsand Island, developed and published by Seed Lab, offers all of that and more in a wholesome slice-of-life simulator coming to Xbox and PC later this year.
I had the opportunity to go hands-on with Starsand Island via a playable Steam demo, and it didn’t take long before I was hooked on this quaint little island’s story. Like most of these life sims, Starsand Island kicks off with a story about returning to your family’s roots, and you find yourself creating a character who will inherit a small farm on the coast.
