Stranded Sails – Explorers of the Cursed Sails is a game that’s perfect for portable play on the Nintendo Switch, a worthy gem in a sea of similar games worth the 15 or so hours it will take you to complete. It isn’t grindy and retains its focus while also understanding the importance of allowing you to meander with some fishing or farming.
Stranded Sails draws inspiration from many titles, but does not upgrade the borrowed formula in any way. Instead, it simplifies the experience, making it accessible and simple, yet rather bland if you are more than just a casual player. On the other hand, if you plan to grab this for a kid - it's a pretty great choice. You can watch him play, and get enough of fun just by the great and warm visuals, that really do stand out.
Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands is an absolute wannabe that only hardcore fans of this genre could possibly enjoy. Tedious exploration full of repetitive tasks.
Stranded Sails is an okay exploration game that rewards you for adventuring into the nooks and crannies of its tropical islands. However, it doesn't do much to stand out and has some annoying gameplay aspects that make exploring feel like a chore.
Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands is a solid entry into the farming and exploration space, and a perfect entry level title for younger gamers or those new to the genre. Its simplicity helps it stand out in the crowd, but not always for the best reasons.
Stranded Sails is the perfect game for those who enjoy learning and structured game play. I found every new discovery exciting, cooking food for my crew rewarding and fishing as always put me in my zen zone but unfortunately I did not get the adventuring survival I was hoping for which is a shame really because it is also obvious that a lot of hard work has gone into this title as a studio and I look forward to watching Lemondrop evolve.
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands at its best feels soulless, and at its worst it doesn’t even function. If this is targeted towards young children, it’s an insult to their intelligence. This is easily one of the worst games I have ever played.
