Spirit of the Island is a third-person farming sim and is the fifth game in the October Humble Choice Bundle

It's a cutesy game that feels like a mash-up of Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, with a hint of Disney Dreamlight Valley.

It scratched the go-here-do-this-make-stuff itch, but not real well.

Unfortunately, it has a lot of rough user interfaces edges that still need to sanded off. Inventory management is a multi-click nightmare, and in a game like this, inventory management is everything.

The game also uses a fixed camera position, and tells you this up-front, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.

I want to enjoy Spirit of the Island, but if I want a chilled out experience like that, I'm probably going to look at something else like the games above first.

Spirit of the Island is:

3: OK
