The Real Review

Kiln is a wild, creative multiplayer brawler from Double Fine where you sculpt your own ceramic armor, and people generally think the core idea is a blast. The gameplay and multiplayer are praised for being fun and chaotic, especially the pottery wheel crafting system, but the game's value is seen as just okay. The big problem is performance, which is widely criticized as being a buggy, unstable mess, particularly on Xbox and PC versions. Some players also found the difficulty a bit frustrating. It's a great concept that seems held back by technical issues at launch.
