After 429 hours and about 7 years in-game, I finally obtained 100% in this game. With that being said, I want to give this game and the developers their credit. Here is my honest review:

Pros:
- The amount of content in this game feels endless (until it isn't ... sadly). There is ALWAYS something to do. Whether it's gathering more supplies, figuring out what crops are compatible in the current season, building your farm, offerings, etc. This is a GRIND that will keep you occupied for several hours, if that is what you are looking for / interested in.

- The story line is wholesome, and every character has their own story line / personality. I have always gone by "if you feel some type of way towards a character, then the developers did a good job," and to be honest that was Antonio for me (despise the guy). Regardless, good job on the development of emotional connections with the characters.

- The gameplay / music is an entire vibe. You can comfortably sit there for hours and forget you had to pick up your baby sister from work 30 minutes ago.

- The developers put in constant effort and listen to feedback, and that goes a long way these days. There is nothing like a developer / team of developers who listen to their community for feedback / content ideas. To me and many others, that's a deal breaker, and Stairway Games has my respect when it comes to that.

Cons:
- The game does crash from time to time, especially in multiplayer, which can be infuriating when you lose all that progress you did on that current day. (I crashed a lot when I was buying items in bulk, not realizing that you can just hit space on the in-game CPU and insert the amount you want to buy)

- There are quite a bit of bugs in multiplayer, but I'm sure the developers are aware and are constantly releasing a bug patch the size of a CVS receipt, so it's not something to worry about.

Overall, I don't have many negative things to mention about this game. It was a game where I could drift away from reality and just enjoy myself in an island surrounded by endless tasks to do and not enough time throughout each day. The game is fun, creative, and well put together. I would give this a positive review 100 times over and it still would not be enough. To Stairway Games, thank you for this journey on Coral Island and I will be looking forward to any other games you develop in the future.
