Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands (Playstation 4 Pro) - Gameplay
2Check out the description for my initial thoughts and details.
Welcome to Game Play. A series, of sorts, where I check out various video games and share the pure gameplay experience with you.
Today we're taking a look at Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands on the Playstation 4 Pro.
My immediate impressions so far:
I'd never heard about this game before I decided to purchase it, and it has surprised me in a positive way. In many ways, the game is cozy and quite chill to play. Despite being shipwrecked on supposed cursed islands, it comes off as quite relaxing and stimulating much like games such as My Time At Portia.
In Stranded Sails, you're shipwrecked alongside your crew, tasked with building a new home, uncovering the truth about the islands as well as escaping somewhere down the line. At least that's what I've gathered so far. The game isn't particularly difficult, and there aren't any significant penalty for dying or succumbing to loss of energy (this game's health bar). This only enhances the relaxed nature of the game.
Stranded Sails is an indie title with a beautiful and cartoonish artstyle. It offers an open world to fully explore with added survival elements such as farming, cooking and crafting. It runs quite well on the Playstation 4 Pro with sharp visuals and excellent sound design.
Check it out if you're into relaxing games with building, gathering, farming and even adventuring elements.
The game was recorded directly on the console to an external HDD. No postwork has been done.
