The Island: Castaway 2
March 15, 2024 Filed in: Video Games
After Lost Souls: Enchanted Paintings, The Island: Castaway 2 made it back to back "casual" video games for me. This one wasn't a hidden object game, however. It was a simple adventure game with quests of the "retrieve objects and deliver them to a designated character" variety. There was a lot of wandering around and it became repetitive at times. Even so, I persevered and stuck it out to the end. You play as Yati, a young native boy on an unnamed island. In his travels, Yati collects various fruits and other objects. Over time, he unlocks recipes to make food dishes and potions. There is a story that unfolds about the natives and several white strangers on the island. As this game was Castaway 2, it obviously had a predecessor. Castaway 2 was actually a prequel so it fills in the backstory for the previous game.

Lost Souls: Enchanted Paintings was a quick game to finish and that was fine with me. It was just the right length and not very difficult. As a hidden object puzzle game, I definitely enjoyed it more than the last one I played. Most of the puzzles were of the hidden object variety with some other puzzle types mixed in as well. I was glad that the adventure game aspects were kept to a minimum. The plot wasn't that noteworthy but I don't usually play these types of games for the story. All in all, I'd say it was a solid hidden object game.
