It is definitely a serene and relaxing city builder, as advertized; the Sandbox mode alone gives you plenty of room to let you express your creativity in full!

44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Relaxing audio, beautiful visuals and minimalism provided in gameplay makes ISLANDERS a great choice for short, casual city-building sessions, but long runs can break the cozy feel it provides.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And you mix that with relaxing soundtrack that you can enjoy or just turn off and play some of your favourite songs or podcasts perhaps, depending on you.
Difficulty

16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the many things I liked about ISLANDERS is that it lets you choose the difficulty level.
