Heaven Island - VR MMO

Game Info

More a Journey in your Inner Self than a game, "Heaven Island" is an experience in which you'll explore wonderful places. The inspiration for the environments comes from the Renzo Piano designs and from the book "Origins of Architectural Pleasure" in which the welfare is of primary importance.

Just because I DO NOT recommend this game, does not mean it is bad. It simply means, it's probably not for most gamers. Please read to understand what I mean by this.
This is not really a game, it's more of an immersive simulation experience, as for the other similar games by this creator. Meaning, if you are looking for challenges or quests, there are none aside from the achievements. I purchased this game SOLELY for the trading cards and the achievements, because they are super cute. Other than that, if you are not an achievement hunter or a badge stockpile type of person, this is not for you. Unless- you just want something with no challenges, just to walk around/chill... Because it's nothing more than a walking simulator. If you are under the influence of something, or enjoy flowers, you may enjoy it also, hell I dunno.
The cards start dropping after 2-3 hours of gameplay I do believe.
This game would probably be very beautiful with a VR headset, and it looks like what I'd call a definition of "heaven" (I'd hope to go to a place like this when I die, in other words.)
All in all, I personally prefer this over the "Heaven Forest VR MMO" because I find the views beautiful. I have yet to play Heaven Forest Nights, but Heaven Forest does have a little bit more to it- and I enjoyed the fact that that game taught mindfulness and the ways of the buddha. BUT with this one, I feel like the map is larger slightly, and more "Peaceful." Everyone has their own definition of "peaceful" though, and mine is the ocean, not the forest. This game would benefit from including "Scrolls" to read like the Forest game, I believe that would add more to the exxperience. They do have little book pages to read as you walk around the island, but nothing to gain from reading them.
All in all, again, it's great for those few of us who love crafting badges, easy achievements, and chill/simulation experiences for our own various reasons- Even children may enjoy this game, but I do not recommend it for the majority of the population. Most people would call it "boring."
