it's a fun little cozy city-building game that you can do to waste a few minutes. i wish there was more to the sandbox, and more to the high score mode... and also to the rest of it, it gets repetitive very quickly. the sounds are nice, the style is nice, but it really does feel like this would be way more suited for a mobile game or some sort of on-the-go kind of game rather than a sit-down game. still, there's a fun little mastery i think you could really get from it, and i will definitely come back to it whenever i feel like not sinking my time and stress into cities: skylines. plus, less than a gig!
Fun and chill game but gets repetitive really quick
not really something i'd play, like, getting up and going 'i want to play Islanders' today; it's more like, i'm bored as fuck during a lecture, might as well pop on islanders. not a bad game though, does its job
Methodically assemble your city piece by piece and get points for this to use to explore new islands. It’s not stressful, but it can drag on for a long time, you have to be careful.
Методично собирай свой город по кусочкам, получай за это очки, чтобы использовать их для исследования новых островов. Ненапряжно, но может затянут надолго , надо быть острожным.

An enjoyable and chill way to spend some time. Not much more than that, but it doesn't have to be.
Uncomplicated city builder with two modes: score and sandbox. This was a fantastic puzzle game, if it's fair to call it that?
You choose from a set of buildings to place strategically on your map to earn a score. For example, you could grab a Lumberjack building and place it next to trees. Then place a Sawmill near the Lumberjack to earn points.
Be careful, because poor planning could ruin your building placements in the future. You can only undo the last building you have placed. Once you have earned a high score, you can move to the next island. It may sound very boring in my writing but if you enjoy non demanding, chill games, I recommend giving this a try.

The ultimate comfort game.
I can just sit here for hours just slowly placing houses, mansions, and fountains all day.
It's simple but has lovely presentation and a satisfying and addictive gameplay loop

Fun puzzle time waster. Excellent game feel.
Decent enough time. Looks sounds and feels great to play. tho too much of the time felt like mindlessly scrolling for the biggest number as opposed to longer term planning which is an interesting diversion for a game like this but does limit the complexity of it main gameplay loop.
Incredibly fun and relaxing puzzler. It's easy to lean back and just loose a couple of hours trying to make your quaint little islands
A very simple yet intriguing strategy game, Islander it's the perfect choice for relax and killing time.
In the base mode of Islander, you start in a procedurally generated isle with a pack of building to build. Each building will give you point based on the other surrounding elements such trees and other buildings and gives you the opportunity to unlock a new pack with new buildings to place on you Island. Once reached a centain amount of points, you can finally move on a new island and start again, getting as much as points as you can get until you remain without buildings and ending the game. Every move need to be ponderated well as you want to obtain as much points from a single building that you can.
Or, you can go on creative mode and just make the city you like, a player even reproduced Minas Tirith!
Overall, worth to play.

A fun game to pick up and play casually. The concept of building an island is fairly easy to learn but hard to master. In a way, this is a very simplified version of something like Sim City but more on the side of a puzzle strategy game with all the different types of buildings and restrictions you have to juggle in order to progress from one Island to the next.
Highly recommended, it's a good time waster and priced accordingly to boot.

my islands look like a pizza that got the works
Calling it a city builder would be misleading, it's a mildly city-themed casual puzzle game. I think the expectations are important, because I quickly grew tired of it, there's just not enough interaction between the buildings except for their spatial distance to make it interesting. But as a casual game - why not give it a try?
Returned to this as I often do, and finally got the more finnicky achievements, honestly up there with Dorf Romantic and other easy going puzzly city builders, highly recommend.
New achievements but that Conqueror one sucked.
its ok, starts off chill and fresh, then gets repetitive real quick.
A bit of a gimmick game, didn't spend much time with it. Might give it a second try
see here's where it gets weird. My previous review is Dorfromantik. Such a similar game, vibe wise. But i enjoyed this one so much more.
Very relaxing city builder where you watch the numbers go up.
Very chill
A fairly neat puzzle/strategy game about constructing a liveable island building by building, and trying to place everything sensibly to make a "functioning" miniature civilisation. It's very simple to play and a decent time killer, but it's not a game I'd sink a lot of time into.
If I wanted a chill "city building" puzzle game, I would play Dorfromantik instead!

A real brain-soother. Very light and relaxing but has just enough of a tooth to keep you invested.
A really solid background game, calming and simple.
Un tycoon muy relajante que va al lío, es puro chill, muy bonito, con una buena curva de dificultad en el progreso, igual es un poco repetitivo o plano el loop, pero la percepción cambia cuando vas a una isla nueva.
A relaxing, satisfying game. I'll pick it up when I'm feeling anxious and just want to settle down. It is very meditative.
Solid (IMO).
Simple yet surprisingly fun city builder.
Fine but nothing special. Probably will never return.
Super chill little time waster game. Great to play when I need to take my mind off things from a stressful day.
