“I want to like this game. I really, REALLY do. But the instability to the point where it crashes AT LEAST once per every time I play it just kills it for me. And then once it crashes, it will crash repeatedly within 1…”
“I really liked the game, even though it was always janky and a bit buggy - but the core gameplay was fun and the ideas were neat. And Pocketpair kept improving it so I was hopeful it would at some point be a complete…”
“This game is very VERY rough around the edges. I can certainly see the potential here and I was really enjoying my time playing Craftopia (until it crashed)...but where is the love and care that went into Palworld? I…”

“a fun game that has multiple playstyles. I have seen complaints that this game was abandoned but that no longer seems the case. It looks like work on other projects gave insight into how to fix the issues they had here.”
“Craftopia is an open-world survival sandbox that mixes farming, hunting, building, automation, hack-and-slash combat, and exploration all in one game. It is one of those “throw a lot in and see if it works” games, but…”
“This game isn't even recognizable from when I first tried it when it was first made available on Steam. I honestly almost forgot about it until it went on sale in a pack with another game. I had thought they stopped…”

“plenty to do”
“Its a well made game that is huge and full of great ideas mixed together. A lot to figure out during the first ten percent of the game. Combat and skills are pretty neat and building your character feels good. Big map…”

“6 years in EA and the game is still a buggy mess without any plans for 1.0 release. The whole concept changed (from many islands to one big). There are still smallupdates yes, but they look more like a way to not mark…”

“If you know what happened to Paragon after Fortnite came out, then you know what's happening to Craftopia after Palworld.”

“What even happened to this game? It used to be fun exploring different Islands and having the beach as your hub and stuff. Now its just a Genshing Impact-Palworld copy. Lost all of its identity. Game was good and they…”
“Is this really made by the same company of Palworld? This ♥♥♥♥ is garbage. Worst building system I ever saw. Combat you have to deal with crap hitboxes. Exploration you have to deal with a sluggish move set.”
“Liked the old map system better. Comes off as doing a giant open world cause it was working for games like palworld and genshin. The dimension hopping was cooler.”
