### 4/5 — An absolutely amazing game

*2026-01-25, version 2.1.11*

The game itself is absolutely amazing but the grind can sometimes be too overwhelming, long and boring, and I’ve experienced it myself before

### 1/5 — In app promotions and offers unavailable.

*2026-01-13, version 2.1.11*

Upon trying to access any in app purchases or advertisements for in game currency the game crashes this is unfortunate as the progression of this game is heavily dependent on runes and without access to them it makes it very grindy and unplayable.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-11-24, version 2.1.11*

The game continues to crash with many buttons like the bottom right one will cause the game to crash. Just going to continue with the first version with other company since that one doesn’t crash.

### 1/5 — Huge Disappointment

*2025-11-06, version 2.1.11*

I was excited to play this, as I really enjoyed PC1. Man, they wrecked this. Progress is incredibly slow and feels like they’re pushing you to pay to win. It’s also buggy: I’d click on menu items and the game would crash. I finally moved on with my life and deleted it. Too bad.

### 3/5 — It’s pretty fun, but…

*2025-08-26, version 2.1.11*

It’s mostly as I remember, but a couple of the buttons insta-kill the game. I don’t think the buttons are super important, but the money bag in the lower right and the rune button in the upper left are currently untouchable.

### 2/5 — Can not pay for more runes

*2025-07-28*

Welllllll- it's been years since I played this game and went back into my arcade history to find it. Love it until you can't find enough resources to actually progress. Once I try to purchase anything the entire game crashes. Tried on multiple devices and triple checked payment info- no dice. Really really disappointing

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2025-04-28, version 2.1.11*

My favourite game ever I love it so much, my dad was an original artist for the first puzzle craft so it brings me so much nostalgia love it xx

### 5/5 — Gooodd

*2025-02-24, version 2.1.11*

I've been playing since 2017, the game is a legend

### 3/5 — Original was better

*2025-01-30, version 2.1.11*

The original Puzzle Craft game was better in my opinion. I wish it was still available

### 5/5 — Fun gameplay and progression

*2025-01-03*

I’ve been really enjoying this game - the basic gameplay loop of collecting resources to build out your towns to make collecting resources easier so you can make even better buildings/tools is very addicting. Some goals like moving to a new town can take a fairly long time (especially when it’s required to have certain animals/plants unlocked first), but the gameplay is fun and progress is slow but steady, so unless you’re impatient I don’t think anything is really behind a paywall. I did pay for the 2x tool capacity though, totally worth it if you like the game.
