Our take on My Island
The broad survival sandbox trades tightly paced progression for a wide range of activities, from farming and construction to sailing, cooking, hunting, and animal taming. That variety places the experience around self-directed routines rather than a narrow gameplay loop.
What is My Island?
My Island is an open-world survival game set across hundreds of tropical islands with different landscapes.
Players begin a solitary journey across the ocean, plant crops and trees, hunt animals, craft weapons, cook barbecue foods, and build shelters and houses. Construction includes multiple furniture types and upgrades from wooden walls to brick and stone walls. Rafts and boats can be created and driven across the sea, while horses and other animals can be tamed, commanded, and ridden. Character customization covers gender, facial features, body proportions, hairstyles, clothing, and skin and hair colors. A dynamic day-and-night cycle includes more than a dozen random weather changes, including rain, lightning, clouds, and clear skies.
