« As a Balatro-like, what I really appreciate is that it keeps being a game about finding the best words, and not about letting the perks make high-scores themselves. It's super fun, addictive, vers rewarding... Love it! »👍 avis anonyme · 24 h de jeu« very very fun. but if you play it you will become insufferable to everyone around you because you will be constantly thinking of new words you can use in the game and shouting them out at inappropriate times. »👍 avis anonyme · 30 h de jeu« Needs updates. It's a neat game to play for a few hours, but it really doesn't have much staying power. I can't hate the game, but I really wish it was properly fleshed out, rather than the relatively barebones feel it has now. »👍 avis anonyme · 4 h de jeu« It's well made and decent fun. It probably won't have me coming back for a hundred hours like other roguelikes, but it's a fun time for a couple hours. »👍 avis anonyme · 9 h de jeu« This is one of the most engaging scrabble-type word games I have played. There are a ton of interesting perks, that keep you on your toes. Its a great game for a Steamdeck and I hope that a phone version is comming, soon. »👍 avis anonyme · 4 h de jeu« I liked Word Play and I enjoyed my time with it, but I don't think that it executes very well its premise. Modifiers affect gameplay next to nothing so most of the time you are just playing random Scrabble, which is fine but could be more. »👍 avis anonyme · 18 h de jeu
« It's ok, but the modifiers are too numerous and dull to really make it fun and varied. Disappointed in the lack of any updates. »👎 avis anonyme · 3 h de jeu« It's not bad but could be a lot better. All the modifiers and upgrades are just really boring and add very little. »👎 avis anonyme · 10 h de jeu« Wish I could leave a neutral review. In the end I refunded it because it wasn't really clicking for me. It's not a bad game, it's just, very bland? »👎 avis anonyme · 1 h de jeu« This is for having nothing to prevent from for example 7 of the same letter showing up on the board, or 2x 5 of the same letter, etc. Also, special rounds are lame. »👎 avis anonyme · 6 h de jeu« I really wanted to like this game, since it has everything I love in a word game, but the modifiers and special tiles and all of the needlessly complicated tacked-on mechanics make this one a no from me. »👎 avis anonyme · 6 h de jeu« Good scrabble word type game... Good for short bursts.. For longer plays try CrossCraze for classic scrabble game. »👍 avis anonyme · 35 h de jeu
