Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Restore Your
0:05
Island on Not Nail Mom, I'm Gaming.
0:08
These are short videos featuring on my
0:10
own nitpicks and pleasantries with
0:11
having played the game while sustaining
0:13
a bare minimum of spoilers.
0:16
Let the reviewing begin.
0:18
Rose, find different cassettes.
0:33
Unless you enjoy listening to nothing
0:35
but the equipment you're using to pick
0:36
up the trash, you'll probably want to
0:38
play a cassette as you work for some
0:39
tunes. They've got really good music to
0:42
listen to, and I'm not sure if there's
0:43
one or a few tracks on each tape. I
0:46
don't pay close enough attention, but
0:48
they do end up looping. As you clean the
0:51
island, you can find treasure, which
0:52
might also be additional tapes to listen
0:54
to just so you don't get tired of the
0:56
same one on repeat throughout.
0:59
You have pets that you can pat, not just
1:02
a dog either, which you have the option
1:04
of choosing the breed at the start of
1:05
the game. Once you acquire the dog bed,
1:08
you have a chance to change the dog
1:09
breed there as well. Though, I don't
1:10
know why you'd want a different dog at
1:12
that point, unless you've gotten bored
1:14
with the one you own. Rude. After saving
1:17
a couple other animals, you can also
1:20
kind of sort of have them as pets. I
1:22
mean, they're wild animals, but you get
1:24
to name them and pet them whenever you
1:26
want to. I won't say what animals, but
1:28
they're cute, and you'll probably want
1:32
Recycle everything at some point.
1:34
Eventually, you're going to have
1:36
everything maxed out. Once you do,
1:38
there's really no point in earning more
1:40
money by placing specific recyclables
1:42
into the proper bins. The devs thought
1:44
of this, and I'm so happy for it,
1:46
because you can actually at one point
1:48
suck every piece of trash into a vacuum
1:50
and dump them all into a bin to clean
1:52
the last bit of your island faster. It
1:54
makes things so much easier and quicker
1:59
Cons: Tutorials need work.
2:03
The game doesn't tell you everything you
2:05
need to know up front. I feel like such
2:07
as using one trash bin for one specific
2:09
recyclable. The tutorial for that didn't
2:11
happen until I threw two different types
2:13
into one bin. And I just think it needs
2:15
to state that at the start instead of
2:17
waiting for you to screw it up. The only
2:19
reason I knew not to do it was because I
2:21
remembered it from the demo. I also ran
2:23
out of stamina at the start and I had no
2:25
idea how to fill it up. No tutorial to
2:28
tell you anything. No hint, no house to
2:29
rest in, nothing. You have to interact
2:32
with the boat at the end of the dock in
2:33
order to pay for a stamina refill. The
2:35
main reason I didn't notice this because
2:37
I did go toward the boat. Nothing
2:39
happened. Is that I think you need to
2:41
have your cursor over the boat itself
2:42
and not just get close to it. I could be
2:45
wrong. Maybe I didn't get close enough
2:47
to the boat. Either way, not knowing how
2:49
to fill stamina at the start of the game
2:51
isn't good and should have some kind of
2:53
a tutorial to guide you.
2:56
Scenes triggered at random. I think
2:58
every time you fully complete an area,
3:00
there's a scene that's supposed to play
3:02
in order for you to know that area is
3:03
clean. It did that in the demo
3:05
correctly, but in the full release,
3:07
there's some weird kind of delay that
3:09
happened for me. I completed two
3:11
different areas, but instead of the
3:12
scene happening individually for each,
3:14
they played back toback, and I'm unsure
3:16
why. I really like the concept of
3:18
showing the island improving with you
3:19
cleaning it up, but I don't think that
3:21
they happened when they were supposed to
3:25
Creepy doll. I'm not sure why, but it
3:28
threw me for a loop when some creepy
3:30
doll suddenly appeared near me out of
3:31
nowhere. When you look away and look
3:33
back, it's usually gone. The doll spawns
3:36
at different locations and doesn't do
3:38
anything. There's nothing that even
3:39
stands out when you inspect it. I'm not
3:41
sure the reason of the implementation of
3:43
it on an island where we're cleaning up
3:47
And that's the end of a person's review
3:49
of Restore Your Island. Thanks for
3:52
watching everyone, and don't get in too
3:53
much trouble when you say, "Not now,
