CGMagazine writes: "And as I said, the actual game of Kiln is so genuinely boring that playing it to unlock the creative tools was such a massive chore that I genuinely started to resent it by the end. Battling is a monotonous button masher. There are only five arenas, and despite being based on different gods from various mythologies, none are particularly memorable in visual style or music. And it’s all just such a homogeneous mess of nothing."
Is Double Fine’s new multiplayer brawler right for you? Find out in our Kiln review before you step up to the potter’s wheel.
DayOne: "At its best, Kiln’s robust pot creation and genuinely raucous multiplayer are a great base for a game that needs more content and polish in both performance and gameplay to truly live up to its potential. Despite this, every multiplayer match I played managed at least one moment that made me smile or laugh."
Metro writes: "Given the nature of online games, Kiln is likely to change considerably as Double Fine add new arenas and improve interactions. As it stands it should be an instant download for anyone with Game Pass and a free couple of hours. For everyone else, it’s a chunk of delightfully offbeat knockabout fun. It will be interesting to see how it evolves over its first few months in the wild."
It was a stupid concept from the word go.
come on doublefine, you're better than this.
Typical xbox 1st party game score.
That's disappointing. I'll still check it out.
