Radiation Island

Played the game on and off for a couple years. Started a new play through this year, and finally beat it. The disappearing loot glitch has been fixed, just don't store things in chests you didn't craft. The story, and particularly the ending, are a little lackluster- but still have some good elements of intrigue. My two complaints would be: first, i wish the crafted foundations and walls would come together better, this was never patched. Some large gaps remain. My second complaint would be, i wish there was more replayability once the game has been completed, something one could work towards. I know the developer says the game won't be updated anymore as it is not feasible, and that's a shame. All in all, however, the game still stands as a solid and enjoyable experience, and i have purchased the second game in the series to continue my adventure.

I have been playing this games for years. Exploring, crafting, building and fighting my way around . Gathering supplies and storing them in boxes you can craft from wood. This first game is clearly the best open and explore with an over arching goal. However, even after you finish, you can still play. The second game became more about fallowing clues around while killing Zombies until you finish the game. The third game was about fallowing clues and solving traps. The second and third app games lost the importance of crafting, building and exploring. Now, all my crafted and harvested items have disappeared because of some glitch. I assume the developers are killing their own game out of boredom or because I am the last one playing it. Too bad, it was really fun.

So I love this game it’s very fun and I spent hours on it. However, I had a glitch that restarted my entire island and all my progress. I learned that I need to constantly cloud save to ensure this doesn’t happen again. And I find that kind of annoying. Another thing is once I completed the first island, the game became a buggy mess. For starters gliders don’t work at all, I went to the top of a mountain and there was nothing in my path, it was destroyed. I wasn’t even close to the ground. Another thing that happened was my character would start jumping over and over again. The only way to stop that was to reset my game. Another bug was the game crashing every 5 minutes and NOT saving my progress. The final bug so far is clipping through the ground and I must die to get out if there are enemies nearby. So all in all, once you complete the first island (which I found really fun) there is not much after the game when you go to another island because it starts to become glitchy to the point it almost unplayable because important features don’t work. I would give it 5 stars but because it is a paid game and it gets really buggy, it will sadly only receive 3 stars if by any chance you are able to fix these (I do realize that this is many years after the release) I would love that and I would give it 5 stars.
