  • gameplay
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this game is often compared to Scrap Mechanic, featuring similar building mechanics that allow for creativity and complex contraption creation. While some players appreciate its potential and easy-to-understand mechanics, others criticize it for lacking originality and polish, suggesting it feels like a less refined clone of existing titles. Overall, the game shows promise but is still in early development, leaving many users neutral or hopeful for future updates.

    • “The mechanics are laid out in a basic, easy-to-visualize, and easy-to-understand format.”
    • “Even so, with enough understanding of logic gates and mechanical pieces, you can build incredibly elaborate contraptions and games.”
    • “Easy to play, insane mechanics, and fun, lots and lots of fun!”
    • “Gameplay looks very similar to Roblox, but if you want to play Roblox, why should you play this?”
    • “It's just a blatant ripoff of Scrap Mechanic.”
    • “Currently, the mechanics and parts offered are far too similar to a successful game called Scrap Mechanic, while the movement highly resembles another successful game called Minecraft.”
  • graphics
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the cartoony art style and modern textures, while others criticize the limited graphical options and performance issues on lower-end hardware. Many users note that while the visuals are appealing, they feel improvements are needed, especially in comparison to similar games like Space Engineers and Besiege. Overall, the graphics are considered good but not without their shortcomings, particularly in customization and optimization.

    • “I love the scaling options on all of the blocks and the cartoony art style with a wide variety of blocks to choose from!”
    • “Amazing graphics!”
    • “The music sets the perfect atmosphere, the graphics fit with it really well, the controls are amazing, the physics simulation is outstanding.”
    • “Kind of Garry's Mod with worse graphics.”
    • “Contains no in-game options of any kind, so no control rebinding or reducing graphical options to make it run faster.”
    • “The reason I don't recommend this game is simply because games like Space Engineers and Besiege have already done something like this, with an actual dedicated dev team, with far better graphics, multiplayer, a very dedicated community, and huge workshops where thousands of players have posted stuff.”
  • stability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is generally criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that significantly impact gameplay, including frequent freezes. While some players acknowledge minor issues and express hope for future improvements, the overall sentiment suggests that the game is currently unplayable for many due to its instability.

    • “Runs great.”
    • “The game maintains a smooth performance without any crashes.”
    • “I appreciate how stable the gameplay is, even during intense moments.”
    • “Last update was 2020, and this thing is a buggy mess, not quite as bad as Freejam's other failure, Cardlife, but the player base is even smaller!”
    • “Freezes a bit every few seconds making the game pretty unplayable.”
    • “The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs/glitches.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users noting significant performance issues, particularly on larger creations, leading to high CPU and GPU usage. While some praise its potential as an early title, others criticize it for stuttering and poor performance across various systems, including Linux. Overall, the game's optimization appears to be lacking, especially compared to similar titles.

    • “To hear that this game is one of the first published games with it is amazing and the performance is unreal.”
    • “You'd expect there to be better optimization for a game that would attract a very similar crowd to that of Roblox.”
    • “Performance-wise, this is like any other typical Unity game on a simple map with a few objects. I'm seeing a lot of CPU and GPU usage, so there will be performance issues on bigger creations.”
    • “This game, RobocraftX, is a stuttering mess and something I won't play because there are much better alternatives.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players praise the atmospheric quality of the soundtrack and its fitting integration with the game's graphics and controls, others criticize the lack of variety, noting that there is only one looping track and instances of silence that detract from the overall experience.

    • “The best music box systems I have ever seen exist here, not to mention the building system. It's sad to see it retired so soon; I guess the world just wasn't ready for a game like this, or it just didn't get out there so people didn't know about it. Either way, I give it a good 20/10.”
    • “The music sets the perfect atmosphere, the graphics fit with it really well, the controls are amazing, and the physics simulation is outstanding.”
    • “Same for the RC Royale soundtrack.”
    • “To see what I mean, play any game involving a vehicle and listen to all the clanging and scraping while no music plays in the background.”
    • “Continuing from that, there's no music whatsoever, just an uncomfortable and dull silence throughout the entire experience.”
    • “Also, there's only one music track and it loops throughout the whole game.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious and repetitive, often requiring extensive planning. There are concerns that frequent updates may render hard-earned progress obsolete, leading to frustration over the time invested in grinding.

    • “The game is really basic and it can be tedious as you have to plan ahead.”
    • “Looks like it has potential, but I feel it will be a repeat of the continuous issues reminiscent of the original Robocraft, rendering builds obsolete every second update, making any hard work and grinding a total waste of time for every other update.”
    • “A bit grindy sometimes.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategies of Freejam, particularly in Robocraft and its sequel Robocraft 2, have been criticized, with users noting a decline in performance and reception over the past few years.

    • “Upon further research, it looks like Freejam has been doing poorly in the past few years, particularly with the monetization of Robocraft and the poor reception of Robocraft 2.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gamecraft faces challenges in replayability, as players find that the limited variety in its 3D break-out gameplay leads to a quick sense of boredom.

    • “I expected more laughs, but the jokes just didn't land for me.”
