Blow off some ‘Steam' with this cosy game
The quests are all fairly basic — they involve finding or fetching items and delivering them to the right people. The most effort that you'd have to put in is in searching for the items. This task is also guided very helpfully by a hovering light. So what's the incentive to keep going in the game, if things don't get any more complex than this? I believe there are three reasons. First, completing a quest more than amply rewards my little cat character. I get a lot more out of it than the effort I put into it. Second, I love the cute animations that come up when I gift my friends, specifically when the friend level increases. Incredibly satisfying. Third, and most importantly, is this: I truly believe that inside all of us, there lives a prehistoric human who loves hunting and gathering. This game allows for stress-free and unlimited hunting and gathering. Unlike most games that have persistent worlds and limited resources, Island Adventure constantly rewards us for exploration. There's always a bug to trap, a fish to catch, as well as endless sand dollars, fruits, and precious minerals to pick up.
The game was originally released as an Apple Arcade exclusive, and I totally understand why. It's best played on a handheld device. It's the sort of game you can just pick up and play for a few minutes every day. It releases new quests every day and every week. There's also a multiplayer/cooperative element to the game, which I haven't really explored yet. I played it on my portable ROG Ally, as the Steam version of the game is compatible with a controller.
The game is currently available for the PC, Nintendo Switch, iPad, and iOS.

However, here's what we know so far about the buzz. Priyanka Chopra To Reunite With Sanjay Leela Bhansali? Recently, Priyanka Chopra took to her social media handle and dropped a throwback video of her song 'Ram Chahe Leela Chahe' from Ramleela. The actor penned a note: "When Sanjay Sir came to me with this song, it was a complicated decision, but he, as a filmmaker has always inspired me. His creative mind, his nostalgic stories usually over incredible food, the conversations of art and music to dance.. the beauty of the yesteryears but also what the future holds. And then he played the song.. and I knew I was her. Under Sanjay sir's guidance, Ravi Varman's cinematography shone, and Vishnu Devas choreography was magic. Him and I would rehearse during lunch breaks every day to perfect the dance sequences. This brings back such great memories. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela | 2013" PeeCee also thanked the choreographer Ravi Varman and Vishnu Devas for the guidance and revealed that she rehearse the dance with Vishnu Devas during lunchbreaks too. This post created led to the speculation about SLB and PC reuniting soon for any future projects.

While Priyanka and Sanjay Leela Bhansali share a great fondness and mutual respect for each other's work, there is absolutely no truth to the speculation of them collaborating at this point in time.' So, turns out the desi girl is not joining forces with SLB for a project as of now. Priyanka Chopra's Bollywood Comeback On the work front, Priyanka Chopra has returned to India to resume shooting for SS Rajamouli's SSMB29 starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. All eyes are set on this mega project as this will be Priyanka's comeback vehicle in Indian cinema after 2019 release 'The Sky Is Pink'.
