Farmville 2 vs Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands
Farmville 2
Farmville 2 is the much-improved and nicely-revamped sequel to the incredibly-famous (or infamous, depending on whether you are a fan of endless Farmville requests) farm simulation game, Farmville. Featuring a different and more polished look, the game hit it right off the bat by offering its players the same addictiveness of virtual farming but it now has some restrictions in place so you can't just cover every piece of land you own with farm plots. The crops, trees and animals you can buy in this game is a lot more down-to-earth too.Farmville 2 is perhaps the largest social farming game on Facebook, and not to mention, the Farmville series is the forerunner of most of the farming games on the internet. So, if you’re looking for a game that is relaxing to play, Farmville 2 is the game you’ll want!
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands is a farm simulation/adventure game where you’ll not only need to maintain a farm and make sure that your surviving crew’s needs are being met; you’ll also need to set off on mini-expeditions to explore the many mysterious islands within the archipelago and to discover the secrets they hide. Maybe, if you’re lucky, you might end up finding a way off the island after all!The game is really easy to get into, mainly because the game is driven by its story-based quests so by completing these quests, you be able to unlock new areas and even new tools that will allow you access to different parts of the archipelago. However, you’re given complete freedom to explore any of the islands as you wish, though there are certain parts of the island that would be “roped off” until you’ve progressed far enough into the story and have unlocked the necessary tools.
Everything you do in this game requires energy - and yes, this includes walking – and it’s the main “currency” you’ll need to keep an eye on whenever you head out for a bout of exploring or just a resource-gathering run. Due to this energy system, the gameplay here can be quite strategic, forcing you to decide when you’d want to focus on exploring and when you’d want to spend some of the energy you have to gather some resources like fishing and chopping some trees.
Being a farm simulation game, Stranded Sails also has an allocated area within your base camp for you to grow some crops and feed your crew. You can even try your luck by fishing at the ocean, and then use those raw ingredients to whip up some delicious food to fuel your adventures.
So, overall, Stranded Sails is an oddly strategic farm sim/adventure game mainly because of its energy system, and as a result, the game isn’t as casual as some players would have liked. That said, the game has an interesting storyline going for it, and the gameplay, aside from the energy aspect, isn’t too shabby either. It’s definitely a game that fans of Harvest Moon or other similar games would love to play.
