Defunct Games reviews Survivor: Castaway Island, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Switch and PC.
If you squint real hard and are real far away from the screen, Survivor: Castaway Island kind of resembles the long-running TV show. Unfortunately, anybody who has watched more than an episode or two will be able to see right through this imposter. While a few of the mini-games are fun, the rest of the game is so disconnected from the show that it probably shouldn’t even carry the name. There’s never a point where it feels like you’re playing a social game, and most fans will be thoroughly annoyed by what the developer chose to remove. For anybody who has stuck with the show over the last twenty years, this game is a big disappointment. Survivor: Castaway Island, come bring me your torch. The tribe has spoken.
