162 Stardew + Pokémon + Slay the Spire + Zelda = Moonstone Island

This week is cut short by work and travel plans, but we have a BRIEF update on the games we're playing, including "Moonstone Island," a title that recently came to Switch. It blends cozy farm life and town romances with a Pokémon-style creature taming system, Wind Waker-esq exploration, and deck building battles.So, is this indie life sim more than the sum of its heavily-inspired parts?
