it's, like, fine.
it's a decent pc version of castaway's gameplay, but it really does feel inferior to it. i like the free play, and the idea of there being lots and houses but really it just feels like a watered down version of sims 2 with a new coat of paint instead of a unique experience. right down to the UI. one of my favourite parts of the original is that you had to gather the individual resources to make stuff, but here it's all grouped into one 'resources' category. stuff like that just bothers me
there are things i like about it and it's not a bad game, but whenever i sit down to play it i just can't help but think that i want to play the original console version. sims 2 castaway on console is one of my favourite games of all time so this is definitely a me thing, i can totally see why castaway stories would click with other people but it just doesn't to me.
