Len’s Island draws from a large number of influences. It’s an open world dungeon crawler, with shades of Diablo 4 and Hades in its combat and exploration. It’s also a farming, crafting, survival, and building game that draws on the design lessons of everything from Stardew Valley and Rust to Palworld and Terraria. The game’s been available in Early Access since November 2021, garnering an 86% or Very Positive user rating over that time and steadily moving toward its final version’s launch. Now, with its huge new Frozen Lands update, that time is drawing nearer, and there’s plenty to check out while waiting.
