All Fish in Coral Island & How to Catch Them

If you’ve made it to winter in Coral Island and are excited for the Winter Festival, you should be extremely cautious about this game-breaking bug players are experiencing.

Coral Island has followed in the footsteps of farming sims of old, providing a wide variety of animals players can raise on their farm. Some will be a great source of income while others are there to keep players company while they work.

Although the Coral Island 1.0 version has excited many new players, many others playing the console versions seemed to leave players online asking for bug fixes.

Love is in the air on Coral Island.

To no one’s surprise, Remnant 2’s The Awakened King DLC hides plenty of top-tier loot behind puzzles. One such puzzle is the one found at Ethereal Manor, which had me dying at the hands of a madman asking me to “Wake up!” over and over.

Xbox revealed which games are coming to Game Pass in the second half of November, and it’s a much more sparse offering than the one it gave in the first half of the month. However, it still gives users a few new games to play in November, including Persona 5 Tactica and Rollerdrome — the latter of which finally comes to Xbox after having been a PlayStation console exclusive.

Stairway Games and Humble Games have launched their crowdfunded life/farm sim, Coral Island, out of Early Access and into full release. It’s currently available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, with a Switch version coming later.

Stop me if you've heard this before. You've just arrived in a small village on a secluded island that's fallen into disrepair, and the only thing that can save the town is some complete newbie doing a heck of a lot of farming. Yes, Coral Island has a lot in common with the best cozy games on PC, but those games have a formula for a reason: it works. I played about a dozen hours of Coral Island while it was in early access and except for the time I rage quit because a sprinkler I crafted was mildly disappointing, it's a perfectly enjoyable cozy farming and life sim.

Coral Island includes every feature you’d expect from a farming sim game while remembering its Indonesian roots with its novel diving mechanic. We know the basics of fishing, farming, and mining all too well, but what is this new activity all about?

In late 2022, a tiny seed of curiosity was planted when a friend introduced me to Coral Island, a charming 3D farm simulation game with a tropical twist. Fast forward to 2023, and I found myself with over 100 hours poured into an early-access game. Now, two years after Stairway Games launched Coral Island’s Kickstarter campaign, it’s time to fully dive into this tropical paradise.

Few games come with the giggling delight I was immersed in while playing the quirky, shop-management sim and dungeon-crawler Cuisineer. From smacking chickens with a spatula to “inheriting” an emptied storefront, this cute game is quintessential cozy.

In Chapter 4, Stage 6 of Reverse 1999, a Circuit Board puzzle needs solving in the Forest Express. While the mechanics may not be groundbreaking, I confess I got zapped more times than I care to admit.
