I'm on a roll recently of playing games that are average/ a little better than average. Like this is just bootleg Minecraft but with RPG elements. It's fun but you would probably get bored of it after spending enough time with it. All you do is explore an island, gathering all the materials and doing the quests on the island. After you're all done, you go into a portal and you're onto the next one. If you like doing basically the same thing, but with slight variations, then this game would probably be pretty fun (that's also not a bad thing because doing something repetitive in games can be fun for a time).

There are better games like this out there.

Honestly, if you want a Minecraft game with RPG flavor, why not just play Minecraft Dungeons? I'm not sure who this game is for. The graphics make me think it is for kids, with comically oversized pixel-style worlds (I mean, the stairs come up to the chest of the characters! ONE STAIR!) and cute characters and enemies. However, the complex building system and sometimes difficult-to-navigate, randomly generated levels make this seem like it is aimed at older folks. The graphics are fine for this type of game, the sounds are what you'd expect, the story is fine, and all the general RPG things that RPGs should have are there. It works, but...

I cannot stand the combat mechanics of this game. I didn't try the barbarian character yet, but the ranged attacks of the ranger and mage drive me bananas. You have to switch to first-person in order to see where you are aiming because of your cartoonish head being in the way of the aiming reticle. Fine, no problem, but when you first hit your target, the game forces you back into third person when the camera locks on your enemy. So, you're stuck hoping you're actually hitting the target you can't see, because you can't switch back to first person when the camera is locked on. Third person is nearly unplayable in this thing. Apart from the bad combat, it seems to want to do too many things, never quite perfecting one, making the whole experience pretty lackluster.

I made a cute little guy with a mohawk, though!

Review from thedonproject.com

NÃO FEDE E NEM CHEIRA

Como dito acima, ele não fede e nem cheira, muitas coisas básicas o jogo dá uma "complicada", (tipo as magias)

O combate dele também não é grande coisa, basicamente você não derrota os inimigos por habilidade, e sim porque está com level a mais, e o combate é esmaga botão e não de um jeito divertido, e nenhum boss é marcante

Enfim, Portal Knights não é um jogo horrível e injogável, mas não tem nada de especial.(vai jogar Terraria q é muuuito melhor)

Review #11 - 2020

I enjoy the heck out of "Minecraft", but I often wished I had some sort of goal. Maybe a set of quests I could embark on. Something to do. My imagination isn't as big as it used to be, so playing "Minecraft" on my own time can be tough. "Portal Knights" remedies that for me. The replayability isn't very strong as "Minecraft", but it's a fun playthrough, especially with friends. It's a game that riffs off of the "Minecraft" formula, and gives it an action adventure twist. You start in a World 1 area, and progress to the other worlds by doing quests and finding resources in that world to unlock more portals to other worlds. There are bosses to fight, and secrets to find as you fight, mine, and travel your way across these realms. It's a wholesome little game, that's even greater with a 4 stack of friends. Also there are pets. Gloriously cute pets (I adventure with a duck).
