    Enjoyable and relaxing game with impressive graphics for something that is handheld.
    You can dig and terraform everything that is made out of clay & it even affects your clay character.
    The first thing that amazed me was the fact that it looks almost as good as the other console versions and you could see the fingermarks on the clay, simply stunning. Although the only thing is that it    Enjoyable and relaxing game with impressive graphics for something that is handheld.

    There's no multiplayer in this version and it makes the experience less worth it.    … Expand

    The idea is brilliant, but the game has numerous errors causing the game to shut down and return to the desktop. The campaign could be better thought out.

    Claybook is a massive chore to play. It clearly aspires to be so much more, but if you have any sense of wonder or creativity left after battling its controls and its camera, then you’re much more patient than I am.

    All in all, Claybook has its faults, but there’s a lot to love that makes any blemishes worth tolerating. The game’s rewind feature is a big help in circumnavigating some of these flaws, but it would have been nice to see a touch more polish injected into Claybook. The experience will zoom by for most players, but the ability to create, share, and download levels from other users helps to pad things out. Still, player-created content doesn’t please everyone, so know going into Claybook that it will be fun, if brief. Definitely give it some thought when perusing the eShop.

    Claybook is admittedly ambitious. It’s also quite a nice looking and unique game, with commendable user features. Yet it struggled to command my attention, lacking elements to maintain interest beyond a few minutes at a time. The community creations do help here to an extent, but the overall experience needs to be tightened, and perhaps reigned in a bit.
