There's an argument to be made that Islanders is one of the best city building games out there. It is, at the very least, one of the most relaxing. This minimalist strategy game from developer Coatsink is all about good lo-fi beats to chill and build to, where you're able to sit back and gradually establish small cities on colorful islands. Well, now you're going to be able to do it in virtual reality.
Islanders VR popped up in the Future Games Show Gamescom 2023 showcase and it looked utterly delightful. Better still, Coatsink confirmed that Islanders VR Edition will release on September 28, 2023 for Meta Quest platforms. Honestly, the thought of strapping on a headset and just disappearing into another reality for a few hours, just slowly building entire islands by hand, sounds like the sort of decompression I need right now.
