If you love exploring sandy locales, a virtual vacation may be a great option. Check out these games where you can explore tropical areas and discover exotic creatures—all from the comfort of home!

 

Shantae and the Seven Sirens:

The belly-dancing, hair-whipping, half-genie hero Shantae is headed to a tropical island, but there’s trouble in paradise. As Shantae gets caught up in the island’s sinister secrets, she’ll use all-new dance abilities and instant-transformation Fusion Magic to explore the nonlinear, interconnected world.

 

Summer in Mara:

Take on the role of Koa as you tend to your island, farming the land and crafting the tools you’ll need to survive. Hop in your customizable boat to explore and discover different islands, meet and befriend interesting characters, and find hidden treasures. But be careful; not everyone will be friendly.

 

Animal Crossing: New Horizons:

Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in the Animal Crossing™: New Horizons game. Show off your island to family and friends—or pack your bags and visit theirs. Island living is even better when you can share* it together!

 

The Touryst:

You’ve just arrived on Monument Island. Discover exotic islands, climb into deep mines and uncover secret passages, explore ancient monuments, and solve a few puzzles as you enjoy the tourist life. Find out what lies beneath the mysterious ancient monuments.

 

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze:

Arctic invaders have turned Donkey Kong Island into their personal frozen fortress, and it’s up to you to save the day. Ground pound your way through sand, sea, and slippy spikes as you traverse islands packed with platforming challenges to take back paradise!

 

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening:

No one wants to be shipwrecked, but there are worse places to be stranded than beautiful Koholint Island! Explore a tropical paradise, meet its colorful inhabitants, collect valuable treasure…and watch out for monsters!

 

DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS 2:

To stop the worshippers of an ancient evil, you must join forces with the mysterious Malroth and build a ravaged world into the realm of your dreams. Explore huge islands, gather and craft with materials, design towns, level them up, and defend them from monsters and bosses alongside townspeople.

 

Evan’s Remains:

Evan’s Remains is a mystery-thriller puzzler that’s part graphic novel and part puzzle platformer. Navigate your way through the strange island to complete the puzzles, find Evan, and uncover the truth about his disappearance.

 

Yoku’s Island Express:

Use a blend of pinball mechanics, platforming, and open-world exploration to unlock the secrets of Mokumana Island. You’ll help the locals, awaken ancient deities, and gain new abilities in this tropical adventure!
