It’s always exciting trying an experience you’re not familiar with. Even if you prefer one genre, or style of play, there are likely more you have yet to discover. This is one thing I genuinely enjoyed about E3, and conventions in general, is the occasional title that introduced seemingly foreign concepts. In the case of Ikonei Island, it’s a spin-off of Earthlock, with Snowcastle Games trying to give their own spin on the island sim genre. Given their previous success, is this a winner, or is it an island best left unexplored? – IS
