User Reviews
This game barely runs on a 4080 and 7900x3d. severe slowdowns and stuttering every 30 seconds making the game unenjoyable to the point where its not worth playing. sad.
Great game but on Black Pearl Island, helping the seals didn't work. It froze the game and had to force restart. I tried all the different options to help by changing settings ect and still bugged out.
Close enough, welcome Back Ichiban!
I love this game. It is very relaxing. It's a satisfying game to clean up both islands and help the animals. Slowly the islands become greener and the water is bluer! Played this originally when it came out and have replayed recently. Looking forward to the new island release!
This game is AMAZING, from the graphics and the music, I've never eaten this much coconut and bananas in a game before 😂 also LOVE the various references when collecting treasure! ;D totally recommended
