Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands

Mediocre at best

I bought this game early on as many of the demo reviews had been claiming that this was going to be Stardew Valley with pirates. Unfortunately this game really isn't even close. There is very little depth to the game. It is a very casual walking simulator with an energy bar at best. You are asked run around performing very simple tasks, almost always something along the lines of go walk around your base and talk to a named NPC who will send you back to the other side of your base. The only 'challenge' in the game is managing your energy bar by eating food and even this is trivialized. The gameplay itself is very slow and quite boring. There are really no goals at all in the game outside of the main story and even those are short and boring. Improving your base makes things very slightly less tedious by adding shortcuts so you spend less time walking around the base or making it every so slightly faster to farm your crops but that's really about it. Combat in the game is incredibly simple and quite boring and the controls for it are very clunky and awkward. In the end, I'm fairly sad that I purchased the game at all. I'd not recommend this one at all.
