Love Island: The Game 17+

I literally just left a review, but I’ve since been playing Season 5 and it’s awful in comparison to the others. There is nonstop drama, and I know it’s for entertainment purposes, obviously, but there’s so much sketchy stuff happening in this newest season!! You can’t really customize your character like you used to be able to do in earlier seasons. Everything costs an arm and leg!! It’s nearly impossible to just play without the constant pressure to buy gems with real money to wear certain outfits. Another thing, everybody is so mean and two faced on here! Like Suresh is bad enough all on his own, but then all of the other guys are also just really not into your character at all! No matter how you choose to play it!! I’ve tried switching from overly nice and kind and taking a more aggressive approach, no matter how you play it, it’s almost the same kind of results every-time and again, way too much hate, drama, & bullying happening!! Really disappointed as this used to be my favorite game ever! I’ve also been looking forward to the new season so much and have still been giving it a chance, even after I’ve been feeling unhappy with how it’s going. It’s just getting worse and actually stressing me out in real life! It’s supposed to be somewhat of a fantasy or relaxing kind of past time isn’t it, these games? I’m not getting that vibe at all anymore sadly. I hope there will be some changes.

I want to start by saying that I have been an Advent player since there was only one season (Bombshell) released, and have been playing ever since, always excited and looking forward to new seasons dropping, and I am always grateful that the developers make it so that the players interest and critiques are taken into accountability by always offering surveys! The only thing I would say is that I spend so much money pretty much a couple of times a week purchasing diamonds to be able to experience the “ exclusive” experiences, and I feel that there should be other ways to earn diamonds as opposed to explicitly purchasing them or only having access to watching two videos a day to earn one extra each or just logging in and getting maximum 2 to 4 diamonds, I feel like you should at least be rewarded with one after every episode gameplay to make the goal of collecting them more achievable, because frankly you miss out on a lot of or fun details and experiences when you don’t have the diamonds for it and I get that is supposed to urge players to buy, but it gets repetitive when I’m spending almost $50 every few weeks😬 and I am an adult so I’m in charge of my own finances but if this is a game open to 17 + I wouldn’t think that all teenagers would have access to disposable income🤷🏽‍♀️

I really think that the game is well thought and the plot twist and storylines are quite entertaining. However, I really wish that we could reject people that we aren’t interested in and have more opportunities to go for the people we really want.

In tempting fate I desperately tried to couple up with Theo because he was the only one I liked out of the og boys but the game didn’t let me. So I coupled up with Oakley but tried to keep it casual like a friend couple and tried to graft on Theo. I have literally chosen everyone except Tyler over Oakley and was happy that he got dumped but the game annoyed me with bringing him back. After Casa I just tried to be happy with max and show everyone how into him I am but the others just weren’t focusing on their own couples. It is so annoying that the game didn’t give you the opportunity to friend zone people or tell them you aren’t interested.

I would also love to have the opportunity to be more mean to people and show them that I don’t like them but instead the character just forgets about most of the stuff. Another bad aspect is that you don’t have to opportunity to say that you aren’t interested in any of the characters yet. I would also like to have the first seasons back since they were the most entertaining ones. Overall it’s a nice game and I feel like with some improvement of the characters and the choices it would be lovely to play.
