Stunning Shared World Puzzle MMO Islands Of Insight Officially Launches On Steam
If you’ve always thought that your favorite MMO could benefit from more puzzle-type content, then why not try Islands of Insight, an MMO that’s nothing but puzzles. Well, there’s also some open-world exploration involved but that’s just to get to the next puzzle waiting to be solved, and the scenery isn’t half bad either.
Islands of Insight is a new shared-world puzzle MMO that just launched on Steam today. Not an early access launch, mind you, but a full-blown official launch. It also might just be the biggest MMO puzzle game in the market.
“In this sublime shared-world puzzle game, you play as a Seeker on a peaceful journey of exploration,” reads the official press release. “Enjoy countless hours of gameplay as you seek out and solve over 10,000 puzzles at your own pace across 5 unique biomes. Packed with secrets to uncover and vibrant landscapes to explore, the puzzles you’ll encounter have been crafted by some of the best minds in puzzle design to create an engaging experience for both newcomers and seasoned puzzle fans.”
Islands of Insight is the brainchild of Lunarch Studios, a Massachusetts-based development studio founded by former MIT doctoral candidates, in partnership with Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive. It comes with a $29.99 box price (the same price as a certain controversial cosmetic pack) and is currently seeing “Very Positive” reviews on Steam. The playerbase is relatively small at the moment but it’s picking up steam on Steam and just set an all-time peak concurrency of 1,664 players roughly two hours before this piece was published.
