Minutes of Islands is truly an impressive game, both visually and narratively. While its slow-burn nature might deter some players from experiencing what it has to offer, it's hard not to admit that it does what it does well.

What Minute of Islands lacks in gameplay, it makes up for with it’s beautiful world and in-depth story telling. If you want a fast-paced, action-packed adventure, Minute of Islands is a game you’ll want to skip. But for those who want a more relaxing, narrative-based game, I highly recommend checking it out.
80%Minute of Islands Review – Somewhere, beyond the sea
Studio Fizbin have crafted a wonderful experience that achieves exactly what it sets out to do. It’s set in an intriguing world and tells an emotional story that explores a specific type of sadness, and how it affects relationships between loved ones. I can’t remember the last time a game affected me so much that I yelled at my screen due to something a character said. Despite my pedantry, I had a brilliant time with Minute of Islands and look forward to playing it again some day.
