May 11, 2026Overall, Kiln is a fun little party brawler offering all the tools to make your own unique, custom pots to do battle in. It also features surprisingly deep and well-thought-out battle mechanics, mixing pros and cons of pottery size and class with unique maps to do battle in. Players who stick with it and form their own squads will do well in future, but I do wonder if there is enough here to keep players hooked long term.

May 6, 2026It wasn’t all a flowery trip to Pottery Barn though; at launch there was some issues with matchmaking, but it was corrected pretty quick. Kiln actually performs quite well, aside from some longer loading times; I had really no issues with the gameplay or anything. In fact, my only real gripe is the lone game mode that is currently available. Not that there is anything wrong with quench because it is a lot of fun, but there is no variety outside of it and we all know that gamers get bored of things quicker than a babysitter’s boyfriend when a car pulls up. And even though the Kiln is on Game Pass I worry about the longevity of the game, especially since it’s multiplayer only. But I guess that’s tomorrow’s problem, for today we smash pots.

May 6, 2026Kiln has a clever core idea and some real Double Fine magic behind it, but right now it feels a bit too limited. The pottery mechanics are great, the multiplayer can be fun, but the game could really use more content and variety to keep things interesting long-term.
