Many players enjoy the game's addictive, relaxing city-building with a Prison Architect aesthetic, comparing it favorably to Anno and The Settlers. [1][3][5][7][9][16][17]
However, a significant number of critics report game-breaking bugs, fragile economies that cascade into failure, and a lack of depth compared to genre classics. Some also allege the game contains spyware, though this is disputed. [24][25][26][27][28][30][31][36]

60 of 115 · most liked firstThis game is basically Anno but with Prison Architect graphics style. It has nothing to do with settlers or factorio as other people suggest.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: Even though I think it would be a good introduction for someone new to resource management games, (there's no housing so I refuse to call this a colony sim) the price tag is twice what I think it's worth. One More Island is a resource management game with a Prison Architect aesthetic. The Good: - It runs well. - It's good for players new to the genre as it's very casual. The Bad: - For veterans of the genre, there's nothing here that hasn't already been done. - No housing for pawns…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a fun little city builder. People seem to be comparing it to settlers, but it's not nearly as complex as the classic ones. Supply chains tend to be pretty short. The complexity comes around shipping products between islands. It almost feels a bit like tropico or something, but with cartoon graphics. The beginning is more fleshed out than the later tiers. The game becomes a little sparse later on, and some more of the complex setups are repetitive and a little painful to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite enjoying my second playthrough and reaching the victory screen, I have to thumps down because of my miserable first day of experience playing this game. Here are 3 main problems that are almost dealbreakers to me: 1. Everything is so fragile. Workers die from not reaching the market within a short timeframe, and if that's someone with a critical job then everything can quickly fall apart. Meanwhile, crops goes from "needs watering" to dying in a similar manner, and when you try to run…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would I recommend this game? Yes, definitively! Do you like Factorio? Anno 1404? Prison Architect, Oxygen not Included, or Rimworld? You’ll probably like One More Island as well: One More Island allows you to obsess over tiny details, getting worked up about efficiency, while at the same time challenging you to do better, forcing you to create new production lines for new goods, just so you can research the next tier, just so you can start improving all over again. I’ve clocked quite a few…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game right here shows exactly why I don't write reviews for games till after I complete them. The game starts as a decent enough city builder (or as I like to call this one British Empire simulator) but once you reach research tier 3 and 4 the bugs, bad designs, frustrating elements and lack of quality of life features really start to show just how bad this game actually is. Just to give you an idea I will list some (by far not all) of the things that are wrong: music randomly stops…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember reading a review before I purchased this game declaring that the entire game was just ratios. Make a spreadsheet, build things in the right ratio, and the game completes itself. One More Island was very cheap as part of a bundle, and I thought to myself, "You could technically say the same thing about Factorio, and that's one of my favorite games." I should have listened to that review — not because of the wasted money, but the wasted time. It doesn't become apparent how devoid…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One More Island is a colonization game similar to Anno 1404. You have to build up production chains in order to keep your citizens happy which enables you to grow your city. As opposed to Anno you have more control over the layout of your buildings, which really appeals to me. The controls and menu are simple and intuitive. The game is very addictive, there's always one more thing to expand or optimize, never a dull moment! It's also very satisfying to zoom out and to see all your citizens…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →was just getting into it and it Bugged out, people wouldn't feed themselves from the market bug already mentioned in several other comments. seeing goods with fractional quantities (e.g. 3.7) might have something to do with it. Either way game breaking bug.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: After spending some time in the discussion boards and discord, I've found a dev who is very dedicated to his game, his community, and the feedback they receive, followed by swift changes to QOL and bugs fixes. I recommend it much more now. A fun island resource manage colony sim game with a neat Prison architect style to it. It's fun to set up supply chains between your islands and the tech tree is neat if a bit small. Tentative thumbs up because the game could use a bit more polish.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I want to love this game there's no getting away from how buggy and unpolished it is. Colonists will die of hunger standing next to food, whole islands will freeze for extended periods of time, both of which can lead to a cascading failure of the entire colony. Movement is restricted to 4 directions so ships will often fish tail when trying to move diagonally, tech research is terribly uninteresting and underdeveloped, and the voice lines are extremely repetitive. Playing the game…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am really frustrated with this game at the moment. I started my very first game...and stone deposits were nowhere to be found except a small island nearby. Since I can't there by ship yet, I had to start over a new island because I couldn't progress without the stone. Finally got to Tier II research. Everything stopped (production), so I tried to figure out why I didn't have workers making "Tools". Because in order to get a qualified worker to make "Tools" you, I guess? need to upgrade…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware]Spyware Warning!This game acts as spyware and performs personal data gathering and transmission. There's no immediate apparent way to opt out. This is completely unethical and reprehensible. Gamers must be aware of the dangers of installing this harmful software and should avoid this completely. One More Island is a badly made ripoff of games like Prison Architect and Tribes, only dumbed down, clunky, with worse graphics, gameplay and themes, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring and the way it plays feels really convoluted. Not very user-friendly kind of game. Definitely not worth the price it sells for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first 2h can be fun, After you realise it is very limited and bugy Island mecanic from anno add very boring and unoriginal aspect on unpolished game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing here that hasn't been done, and better. The only unique concept is the ability to make production buildings different shapes - so you can have one big mega bakery rather than lots of little ones - but it's missing a lot of features that I've come to expect from anno style resource management games. Worth maybe $5 just to play around with the mechanics and figure it out. No replay value whatsoever.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish there was neutral button. This is a cute version of Anno 1800 and much cheaper one at that. The person who said it's a mixture of prison architect and Anno is about right. It does nothing new though. I know I only played a short time, but it was enough to test it. The UI is solid, tutorial is good. Overall, it's a good game that I would recommend, unless you already own Anno, then just go play that. And folks saying this is rimworld...have they played rimworld?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just makes me want to play Rimworld
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like many settlement games, the settlers eventually stop delivering materials and everyone starves to death. As soon as you upgrade to tier 2, it's over. There's no more fish. There's no more bread. Nothing can be replaced in any of the tier 2 zones. It's almost like you need to keep all the tier 1 zones to feed new tier 2 zones that used to be tier 1 zones, etc, which is utterly stupid. I'd refund the ♥♥♥♥ out of this garbage if I didn't pass the refund limit by 0.2 hours trying to make this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're a fan of games like The Settlers, I'd definitely recommend you to check out One More Island! It's very satisfying to build and optimize your production chains and slowly see your empire expand. I tried it out on my Steam Deck and it seems to run fine. The official layout uses a combination of keyboard and mouse, which works surprisingly well. Would be great if the in-game icons could be replaced with the actual Steam Deck button icons though, as it takes a while to memorize the key…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the concept of this game, like I do most management / colony sim games. The zoning and buildings required approach is refreshing and interesting, and the graphics are cosy as heck. But it's not a colony sim. There's no housing for your workers, no real needs that they have aside from "buying" them with bread and then putting them on a workspace. No further interactions, no personalities, they're just resources. That makes this more of a factory sim than a colony sim. The zoning thing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite being at version 1.6, it still has a lot of bugs and is in serious need of polish. I think it could be a decent game if they finish it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fantastic. It's very well made, very challenging, and the community is great. The developer is extremely responsive and eager to hear feedback on how to improve the game. I highly recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do see the potential here for an enjoyable experience, however... This game, at the time of review, should still be in beta , and at the most, an early access game. An example from one industry. Bread production, two bakeries function just fine, third bakery sometimes receives a flour delivery, the fourth has plenty of flour, and is full of bread stacked on the floor, that's 45 bread not being used, and backlogs the bakery into non production. It is pretty much the same for each industry…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been one of the lucky ones that was able to play the game in the early stages of development. I enjoyed it from the get go and am really exited to see how far the game has improved. Over the years I've played a lot of different Colony Sim and City Buiding games. What I really enjoy about One More Island is the freedom to form your city exactly as you want, while having to pay attention to the limitations of your island. The trading is challenging, but fair. It's very satisfying to see…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't think this game should be marketed as a colony sim - there is no housing, no generations, etc. This is a resource management game, and that's it. And once you get the hang of the resource management part, you're scrolling on your phone while the game runs in the background, just waiting for some sort of popup that you have to deal with. For example, when all of your workers die for no reason, and now you have to replace them with new workers. BUT each worker starts at Tier 1 and must…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starting to agree with the other reviews popping up. It doesn't do anything that hasn't been done better elsewhere, and is twice the price of what it should be. I could outline those here, like all the governors coming with a boon but a trade-off that almost totally contradicts the boon, but I'd just be repeating the other reviews. Here's a couple points I didn't see. Once you build one large version of each production facility, with a good amount of storage so your chain can stockpile a bit,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Personally, I feel this game lacks the depth I'm use to with other strategy/base-building titles that it tries to emulate. It's basically a dumbed down Anno with Rimworld/Prison Architect graphics. Might had made a good mobile/ipad platform game, but I feel it doesn't quite have enough gameplay or features to justify it's current price tag.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →But I prefer just one big island, it's easier that way... One more island is a solid game where you are a mayor who try to turn all those islands, that contain no living soul on them, into massive plantations, and factories to produce goods, and satisfy your own worker ...and the queen?? But it's not close enough to be consider as a colony simulation game because your worker don't need a house of their own or sleep, so the main focus is on the logistic, productivity, and consume. Which mean,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No way to rebind keys. No way to batch cancel orders. No housing. Lots and lots of obvious QoL missing. Overall it's just a frustrating experience (even though you can feel that the game was made with passion).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great value for money! After playing the demo it is awesome to see how much more options you get in the full game. With multiple tiers of workers and research there is a lot to discover. I love how you can de/reconstruct all the zones and buildings so you can keep optimizing your island while you are discovering more about the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So after following the game since it's early beginnings, it was finally time to get to play it! This genre or type of game isn't normally my cup of tea. Most of the time you find me behind the wheel in a racing sim. But once in a while you have to slow down a bit and try something different. And I do have to say that this game really surprised me! As a total beginner in this genre, I'll give some pro's and con's below. Pro's: - The game really takes you by the hand in the beginning. It is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A charming, lightweight colony sim with a heavy focus on maritime supply chains. Managing trade routes between different tropical islands is pretty satisfying at first, and the low-fi aesthetic is easy on the eyes. Unfortunately, the late game gets bogged down by tedious logistics, and tiny mistakes can cause your whole economy to cascade into chaos. Fun for a weekend, but genre veterans might find the mechanics a bit too shallow.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TIL Anno x Settlers is not an Ubisoft title. Finally. This. Is. Awesome.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool game for everyone who likes to play with optimization and efficiency in an age of sails-setting! The game-concepts are simple, but allow for detailed managing and, if you want to, endless efficiency tweaks. Even the shape of the workshops, where you build them or where you chose to place a door instead of a wall can matter in how your island performs. You just have a lot of control, and luckily the game comes with the tools necessary to prevent you from drowning in all the options. One…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't read anything. I'll admit I'm a couple of years due for new glasses, but the fact that there's no adjustment for text size is kind of a crime. Even the UI toggle is already set to max by default.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cant finish the game tutorials because its bugged cant put floor over the same type of floor. but i cant finish building because that space on the floor doesnt have floor even thought it does.... ran into similar problems well building other things
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very enjoyable builder through and through. If you're looking for a relaxing run through an island builder, this is a good game. If you want to make it a hard slog, you can do that, too. Definitely caters to all play-types and it's got replayability. Solid game play; if it's missing anything, I'd say it would have to be housing as your workers just run around doing their jobs. Housing would be a neat new wrinkle to the game, but it doesn't detract from the game as it already is.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It got boring rather quickly. No difficulty.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd give a neutral review if I could. It's a decent game. Didn't think it was incredible or bad. Just ok. Didn't really feel grabbed by it unfortunately. Def has some bugs too. Still worth checking out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great city building game! I really love the casual play in this game, I can really take your time to fix things, my way. At the same time, it isn’t “easy”: You can make mistakes and you won’t like the consequences… The look and feel of the game are really fun, everywhere on screen you look, something is happening, all your workers are doing their thing and it looks like you’re in charge of a large, funny ant hill! The music and design are on point as well: perfect for a game that focusses on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for a few hours, longer than I was planning to! It's fun to build :) This feels a bit like Prison Architect.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, what a nice game! I bought the game because I really liked the graphics in the trailer and demo. I was afraid this was only for the trailers and stuff, but having played the actual game: It really looks and feels fun! Music fits perfectly and the humor is perfect for this type of game. For those who can still remember: The Queen really gave me those Theme Hospital announcements vibes (“Hospital administrator is cheating!”…). The game is so fun to play; the first time I didn’t really…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impressions: It's a very nice and enjoyable game. Easy to play and very relaxing. I think i will sink many hours into this game. Love the concepts of the islands.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know it's bad when the workers in dwarf fortress are more responsive than these. The UI is awful (especially for trade routes), workers sometimes refuse to pick up goods and bring them to the markets (lost in t3 because I "ran out" of cider despite having 800 stockpiled with workers refusing to move it). I wish I could refund this despite getting it on heavy discount.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun & casual with good progression. Resources and management can be challenging if you just click everything available so there is a strategy side to it without a labor intensive learning curve. Great management sim.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pointless and shallow. Developing the production chains isn't enough to hold up the game on its own, since they're pretty simple, and there is no element of housing or satisfying citizens, or anything else, to make the game feel well-rounded and fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fix things constantly breaking simulator
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game that sneaks up on you. It greets you with a warm friendly smile, a cheesy plot, and a feeling that you’re in safe, predictable hands. But underneath the hood is an engine that means everything you do is significant. One More Island is a game where the consequences of your decisions will surprise you, as it invites you to be far more creative than most games in the genre will allow.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It reminds me of Anno and almost Factorio. A very fun game. Cannot wait to see how it develops.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super awesome and extensive game. Gives back some of the old AOE vibes, although I don't think you can compare these two games. This game brings a whole new touch. The game has quite an elaborate tutorial which helps you on your way and some cool stuff to find out about in later ages. Not sure if it is beatable, it seems to keep on expanding until... you die. :D Game got just released but runs very smoothly and has clearly been well developed and tested. Definitely a fun game to check out!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impression of the game is awesome! Most games on release lack certain details that make the game just that little bit more fun, but not this one! It has been perfectly made so its nice and playable on release, there have been no bugs or other faults in the first time I've played the game and its running rather smoothly. It has a brilliant tutorial that explains everything that needs to be done and guides you through the steps needed to create your first empire! Absolutely brilliant!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game feels unfinished with glitchy UI and game mechanics.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its very annoying. Like the idea is simple; -You begin with one island. It can only do early game crops and ores -You then have a log wait to get to the next island. -You're okay until you lock the 2nd tier and suddenly... you need to maintain your buildings. -You struggle to maintain anything because the demand versus supply chain sucks and is fickle -You have to carefully pick what islands to settle on and settlers die too quick. -Overall its a good game but its let down by settlers just…
