    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the slow mechanics and reliance on a pay-to-win system, which detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the cute graphics and simple controls, others find the gameplay tedious and unpolished, likening it to other mobile simulation games but lacking the depth and engagement found in PC titles. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a significant drawback, overshadowing the game's potential.

    • “State of the art graphics and awesome gameplay!”
    • “Simple gameplay and enjoyable.”
    • “Stonies has you managing a caveman society, building simple structures, gathering resources, etc. Gameplay-wise, it is similar to most sim-style mobile games you may have experienced at one point in your life.”
    • “Plenty of others have mentioned the money grab/P2W system this heavily relies on, so I'll go into the abysmal game mechanics.”
    • “But food only grows in the wild (until you spend money, 100+ real days, and 100,000+ clicks), which has such a slow respawn rate that it's essentially the garbage 'energy' system used in other games, but with the added trash mechanic of having to harvest it yourself.”
    • “I like the game idea and I love the price, but the gameplay for me is just too slow.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is criticized for being convoluted and often out of sync with gameplay, leading to issues with quest completion and bugs that disrupt the flow. However, some players appreciate the in-depth narrative that engages them throughout the experience. Overall, the storytelling is a mixed bag, with both significant flaws and moments of depth.

    • “It has a story line for you to finish and tells you what you need to do next.”
    • “Stonies encapsulates you in its in-depth story at every turn.”
    • “The storyline, task list, and gameplay are convoluted and out of sync.”
    • “The first quest is bugged if you try to do things out of the order of the tutorial, breaking the flow of the game.”
    • “You can't complete quests sometimes, and there are many bugs.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are widely praised for being state-of-the-art and cute, contributing to an engaging visual experience. However, some players feel that despite the appealing aesthetics, the overall gameplay lacks depth and can be slow compared to other platforms.

    • “State of the art graphics and awesome gameplay!”
    • “For one, the graphics are simply amazing.”
    • “Interesting concept, adorable graphics.”
    • “The graphics are cute, the mechanics of moving the players are simple enough, and the goals are clear, but I still prefer to buy my games up front and be done after one payment.”
    • “[b]✔ - amusing graphics.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of "stonies" to be slow and tedious, often requiring significant time investment and real money to progress effectively. Many reviewers note that the game demands extensive grinding, making it feel like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Took over a week of grinding all day, having all my stonies working to pray and craft paintings for crystal shards.”
    • “Slow, tedious, and pay to progress.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a cash grab, with players noting that while they can purchase gems, ads still persist. Many reviewers recommend avoiding in-game purchases altogether despite some enjoyment of the game itself.

    • “You can pay for gems, but you still get ads.”
    • “Stay away from this cash grab game.”
    • “As it stands, I reluctantly recommend this game, though I advise against making in-game purchases.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised for its relaxing qualities, providing a soothing backdrop that enhances the overall experience. Players find it enjoyable enough to engage with during idle moments, suggesting it effectively complements gameplay.

    • “Also, the music is nothing to be slept on.”
    • “Listening to the music helps me relax.”
    • “The music made me feel less frustrated during those time-consuming moments.”
    • “The music is nothing to be slept on.”
    • “It made me feel less frustrated, I guess... for those time-consuming minutes, you could have just done something else like read or listen to music. I wonder if the tutorial really stops to consider and evaluate your actions, especially if you've already done that act.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized as cute and endearing, with a lighthearted approach that adds charm to the prehistoric tribal life simulation. Players find the comedic elements to be amusing and fitting for the game's theme.

    • “Cute, humorous, and a bit endearing.”
    • “Funny little prehistoric tribal life sim.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely lacking, with users reporting frequent freezes that prevent it from running for more than a couple of seconds.

    • “I can't even get this game to run for more than 2 seconds before it freezes up.”
    • “The game crashes constantly, making it unplayable.”
    • “I've experienced multiple game-breaking bugs that ruin the experience.”
