Stardew Valley might've opened up the floodgates of relaxing farming games, but 2023's Moonstone Island has always been different. An eclectic mix of alchemy, farming, creature collecting, and deckbuilding, the typical life sim cornerstones that dominate Steam today are just the surface of what Studio Supersoft has to offer. There are so many genres blended here that, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what to even call Moonstone Island. Luckily though, you can make that distinction for yourself with a big new update dropping for free.
