Should You Play Len’s Island in 2024?

Len’s Island Review in 2024

Len’s Island is a Survival RPG, which was initially developed by one person in their bedroom, but is now developed by a small indie team (Flow Studio). 

I first heard about this title through word of mouth and the aesthetics really did jump out at me to begin with. It was like RuneScape meets Diablo, if that makes sense? 

I also watched a video by the developer themselves, which gave a behind the scenes look at the creation of Len’s Island, Ill link the video below so you can see for yourself: 

It’s currently in early access, with the full release going live July 2024.

What is Len’s Island? 

It combines survival, crafting, questing and an ARPG style combat. You can spend your time making your dream home or you can chad it up and delve into the deep dark depths of Len’s Island. Either way, this game is appealing to many audiences. It’s the perfect combo of “cozy gaming” meets open world RPG exploration. 

But don’t be fooled by me using the term cozy, as I assure you, there will be moments you will be pulling out your own hair at the difficulty of this title. 

Is it worth a buy? 

Personally I spent 10 hours straight playing this game on day 1 and I’m currently surpassed 30 hours. Bare in mind I have a full time job and a YouTube channel to run! 

This game is super addicting and something different from the usual tripe that is published in Early Access. There are a lot of early access games that are pumped and dumped through the Steam store, however this is one of those hidden gems, that don’t appear to often. 

There are numerous updates in the work, including a multiplayer co-op expansion still to be released and just recently, they have expanded the game further with the frozen lands free expansion. 

You can tell that this game is made with the player in mind and not a cash grab by some greedy AAA company. 

So if you are still wondering if it’s worth playing in 2024, check out my video essay below.
