The Real Review

Kiln is a goofy multiplayer brawler from Double Fine where you build your own ceramic battle armor on a pottery wheel. The core loop of sculpting pots and then fighting with them is landing well, with people praising how the armor's shape changes your playstyle. The big, persistent issue is performance, which is being called out constantly across all platforms, but especially on Xbox and Windows PC. It's seen as a fun party game with friends, but you'll likely want to wait for patches if you're on console.
