Why You Love Island Sanctuary - Anti-Anxiety Joy

[Arrhin]

I came in with zero real expectations, and, I think it's OK. The zone is great though I wish it was a little more explorable in regards to all the little islets off the coast. I also wish there was more customization with the buildings, paths etc. I'm enjoying it though, catching all the "rare" animals is fun. I'm really just hoping they do add to it and maybe improve the existing systems. I'm pretty hardcore into AC:NH so of course I'm comparing it to that in my head so I really need to temper my expectations when I run into something I don't like. My rating is 7 out of 10, a fun and relaxing side hustle for when I tire of the regular grind.

I just go for a walk in a real forest when I want to relax.

Not everyone has access to a nice place to walk around at the drop of a hat. Seclusion and personal space is dying commodity, lol.

There's a real forest behind my house, but if I go for a walk there (at least if I did now) I would be attacked by mosquitoes.

I did have a nice place to walk around but it got overrun by squatters who have already assaulted people in the park. Heck, we already have a confirmed murder in that area. I like going for a walk but not enough to roll the dice. I'm not a very lucky man. lol

I don't find a map full of clickable objects and timers relaxing though. Like others have said I just walk outside if I want to relax out in nature or visit one of the prettier zones in this game like Il Mheg and take screenshots.

then this thread isn't for you. so take your negative attitude and bugger off

It's a fun bit of idle stuff to do, and a nice little place-away-from-the-world I can idle in without needing a personal house.

Only things I need are a retainer bell and marketboard and I'm set.

Ya, I live out in the sticks. In addition to the hoard of blood suckers I also get cougars, black bears, and grizzly bears. All these things would like to eat my face under the right (wrong?) circumstances. People think going for a nice hike or walk is a way to destress, if only they knew they are a nice, defenceless afternoon snack that's probably being watched. Around these parts we routinely scroll past "Tourist hikers mauled by (insert large predator here)" headlines without even batting an eyelash it's so commonplace, it happens several times a season ffs. By all means enjoy the beauty around you but understand there are no safe places. And before anyone says anything, yes I do go out, a lot, very very far into the back country. I just happen to (mostly) know what I'm doing and understand the very real danger. Fortunately Island Sanctuary has none of that! I've now increased my rating from 7 to 8 out of 10 for *ahem* NO RISK OF IMMINENT DEATH

It's just a bad mentality and really all it does is seek to weakly dismiss the content. The point is to give you a virtual space in which you can enjoy the game, the world, and the content with people from all across the world, and people you may otherwise not be able to easily meet. -- and to give you something to progress towards.

check your inventory and craft? Complicated process, I know. You don't even want to know if you get into a fight in this game! ;A;
