Heaven Island - VR MMO Review (PaleMoon)
For a cheap game Paradise Island isn't all that bad. There are much worse games out there for a similar price, but also much better games as well. Paradise Island follows the story of the ghost of someone trapped on the island. In order to escape they must collect 70 apples and 70 shells, like some tedious Easter egg hunt. To be honest the being a ghost part is probably not true. It's just the fact that you can pass through most of the terrain, including trees, some walls and most ladders. Not to mention all of the wildlife seems to ignore you.
Graphically the game is fairly beautiful. Golden sandy beaches, clear turquoise seas and lush green trees and plants. There are several landmarks dotted around the island too. Including a large Buddha statue, a small lighthouse and a few other places to note. Travelling from landmark to landmark can be fairly exciting and gives the game something of interest to aim for. But after a while you lose interest. The island, for the most part, looks very samey in places. The same rock formations dot opposite ends of the coast, along with several small boats washed up on the shore. Pointless books sit scattered around the island on pedestals talking about some pointless nonsense that, to be quite honest, no one really cares about.
For the most part Paradise is an interesting, if not short lived, walking sim. While collecting the shells and apples dotted around can be fairly exciting, it does get boring very quickly. To be honest, if you want a decent walking sim with a generous amount of freedom, then I'd go for something else. The vanishing of Ethan Carter is a fairly good example, or if you want a game set on island as well, then Salt is a better option.
With a cheap price tag, Paradise Island is worth a go, even for a few minutes, but if you want something that lasts longer, and is more enjoyable I suggest looking elsewhere. Good Day!
