PickCrafter

PickCrafter is an idle and incremental game built around the simple idea of mining blocks, collecting resources and gradually becoming a more powerful crafter. The core gameplay is intentionally straightforward: I use my pickaxe to gather materials, earn rewards and unlock upgrades that allow me to progress further. It is designed more for relaxed progression than intense moment-to-moment gameplay. The biggest strength for me is the satisfying progression loop. Breaking blocks gives me resources, those resources allow me to improve my equipment and stronger equipment lets me reach better rewards. Even though the individual actions are simple, seeing numbers steadily increase can be surprisingly addictive. The idle mechanics are also convenient. I can make progress without constantly having to pay attention, which makes PickCrafter easy to leave running while I do something else. When I return and discover that I have accumulated enough resources for a new upgrade, there is a small but satisfying sense of reward. The amount of collecting gives the game additional appeal. There are different resources, equipment and items to discover, so progression is not only about increasing one number. I enjoy gradually filling out the collection and seeing how much more powerful my setup becomes. The game is also very accessible. I do not need to learn complicated controls or understand a complex strategy before I can start playing. The basic mechanics are introduced quickly, and the incremental systems gradually reveal themselves as I continue progressing. The biggest weakness is that the gameplay can become repetitive. Once I understand the main loop, much of the experience involves repeating similar actions to generate more resources and purchase the next upgrade. Players who do not enjoy incremental progression may quickly feel like they are doing the same thing over and over. The free-to-play structure can also become noticeable. Idle games often rely on long-term progression, timers and optional purchases, and PickCrafter can sometimes feel designed around encouraging me to return repeatedly. That can be enjoyable when I want a passive game, but it can also make progression feel slower than it needs to be. The presentation is colourful and appropriately playful. The block-based theme gives the game a clear identity, while the simple visuals keep the interface easy to understand. It does not need elaborate graphics because the progression numbers and collection systems are really the main attraction. Overall, PickCrafter is a relaxing incremental game that makes surprisingly good use of a simple mining concept. I like the steady upgrades, idle progression and collecting, while the repetitive gameplay and free-to-play structure limit its long-term appeal for me. If I enjoy watching numbers grow and gradually unlocking better equipment, though, it can be an easy game to get hooked on. Rating: 7.6/10

unobtainable achievements + microtransaction slop

No Automations after weeks of grinding, take half a year to have only a few things automatised. The real "Idle" part only happen at the end-game. Not enough "Idle" quality of life automation functions, require constant, and I mean constant, input of the player to make any progression. Game is simply Frustrating the more you progress. Especially with event items being deleted immediately after the weekend when waiting for the Furnace to complete the items to buy the last piece, only to have all progress and time deleted because it take two days for all scrolls pieces to be turn into usable items.
