Reefland

I am a great fan of relaxing puzzle games. This one was an instant-buy for me because of the many hours I enjoyed Islanders, which is a puzzle game with the same kind of game mechanics. However, maybe I have been spoiled by games as Islanders, Zenworld and Dorf Romantik. These are also relaxing puzzle games, but even though it is relaxing, it is still a challenging puzzle. This game, although relaxing, lacks the challenge for me. I hope for Reefland to have something of a challenge in the future. Getting points is easy and thus I find myself placing the pieces wherever I want instead of puzzling, like a creative mode. I guess the store page also mentions that the puzzle aspect is uncomplicated, but for me it makes it less fun. I would like to have a bit of a challenge. Maybe a higher point goal before reaching the next level, so you have to try and get every point you can for new buildings. Maybe a higher minimum of well-placed blocks before reaching the next island. for the full sandbox experience it seems like fun to be able to create an own island, because these are quite too small to go on an all-out decorative spree. With that all being said, I wish this game the best of luck! It is still in Early Access so I am looking forward to the coming updates!

It's a bit of a basic game overall, but there haven't been any updates at all since launch. I would consider this to be abandoned by the dev, and left in a bit of an uninteresting place.

When I got the demo, I never played a game like this one before. I got so sad when I couldn't play it anymore until the official release. It lead to me getting Islanders and Dorf Romantik since I heard they were similar! This is a cute and relaxing puzzle game that allows you to turn your brain off. Fun to play!
