Fantasy Stardew Valley rival Coral Island finally has the feature I wanted most

Of the many farming-focused life sims to follow in the wake of Stardew Valley, Coral Island is the one that’s held my attention the most. Its fantasy spin on the formula gives you underwater farming and Merfolk romances along with all the everyday island life activities that you’d expect, and its stunning character art complements its picturesque world perfectly. If you’ve ever been tempted to try it, now’s the time. The long-awaited multiplayer and romance update is here, and it’s surged Coral Island to a year-long Steam high. Even better, a Steam sale means you and your friends can experience the magic at a discount.
