    I cannot say this is a bad game, but I can't really say it is a good game either. While I had no problems when it came to frame rate, no crashing, or otherwise any other problems, the game is just a simple sim construction and resource management game. It was engaging enough to keep me occupied for about 10 hours or so to earn all the achievements minus the 2 online ones (I don't eveI cannot say this is a bad game, but I can't really say it is a good game either. While I had no problems when it came to frame rate, no crashing, or otherwise any other problems, the game is just a simple sim construction and resource management game. It was engaging enough to keep me occupied for about 10 hours or so to earn all the achievements minus the 2 online ones (I don't eve specifically go for online achievements as I find those to be hard, time sinks, or near impossible to get due to lack of player participation online). The only really frustrating elements I found to this game were 1) the camera, because you only have limited movement with it and can only zoom in/out so far. And 2) the actual Keflings more often times than not get stuck between buildings when transporting. Sometimes they just seems to disappear, never to be seen again. Had this mechanic worked, I think it would have cut my play time down an hour or two.

    My recommendation is that you pick up a couple Redbox movies to play on another TV while playing, or pick up a few albums from your favorite band to listen to while playing this, because it can get pretty repetitive. I probably would not pay money for this game, so it being free with XBox Game Pass was the right way to get this, and very easy for you to get about 150-200 gamer score in a few hours.    … Expand

    Short-lived settlement building with soothing gameplay and music. [Nov 2008, p.84]

    The do-what-you-like pacing, charming presentation, and endlessly addictive nature of tackling increasingly complex structures in an effort to ultimately erect an impressive castle, mirrors an addiction we haven't experienced since the last time we preened in our pretty pinata gardens. [Dec 2008, p.88]

    Such innocence with a secret mean streak pleases us immensely, and even if you play fair there must be many hours of gameplay trying to see your little guys into a fortified castle. [Issue#37, p.117]
