The first hotly-anticipated farm sim of this year is here and it's a scorcher. Starsand Island is a crafting-forward life and farming sim where you'll return to the sunny island of your youth to reconnect with old friends, meet new love interests, and help turn the town into an even bigger tourist destination by—you guessed it—chopping down a ton of trees and crafting shopping lists of components for main story quests.
Small towns aren't revitalized in a day, especially on Starsand, which seems to be packing a much longer play time than I'd expected. You can read more about what it was like playing my first season in Starsand Island but down below I'll give you a farm sim fan overview of what to expect from Starsand compared with all the other farmlife sims out there.
