Finally, an online game shutting down the right way: Islands of Insight will shut down its servers next month and “permanently modify the game to be offline-only” so the promising puzzler can live on.

I liked the shared world puzzle game. Islands of knowledge quite a bit when it came out in 2023, as did some of my fellow PC gamers. Unfortunately, it couldn't find an audience and today the Islands of Insight community team announced that, like so many other online games, the servers will be shut down at the end of August. But the good news is that even without remote servers you can continue playing.

A offline mode It launched in July and keeps the game world intact, with the same biomes, respawn puzzles and daily quests, without the need for an internet connection. Social functionality is not available, of course, but that's not really a big loss because interactivity with other players was never so cool in Islands of Insight anyway, one of the notable weaknesses in an otherwise very good puzzle game.
