My biggest problem with Stardew Valley is fixed in the hottest new life sim RPG on Steam, which has 1,700 reviews at 91% positive after 1 day in Early Access

Starsand Island.

Starsand Island, the charming new "carefree" take on Stardew Valley from Chinese developer Seed Sparkle Lab, is finally available to play via Early Access on Steam and Xbox Preview – and unsurprisingly, it's a hit with the cozy community already.

For anyone who hasn't heard of the wholesome new title yet, Starsand Island is a life sim with just about everything we've ever wanted to see in one – including, um, the ability to fly around on a hoverboard?

It's certainly unique with all of its features, and it's already proving to be a genre gem. After releasing into Early Access yesterday, the indie game has managed to rack up a "Very Positive" rating on Steam, with nearly 2,000 reviews.
