About two years ago I checked out Portal Knights on Steam Early Access. It was just a preview at the time; not a full-on review of the game. I enjoyed my time with the game as it reminded me a lot of Minecraft, of which I had played a bit of the Wii U...

By Game Chronicles Magazine onPortal Knights is a Minecraft-alike with a lot of personality and a lot of promise, but in its current state, I just couldn't enjoy it. It feels bloated in places, empty in others, and just can't compare to other games in the block-placing, creation...
By WCCFTech onPortal Knights is a nice, light hearted and fun way to break into the sandbox style of gaming. Taking inspiration from the likes of Minecraft and Dragon Quest, the developers at Keen Games have made it easy to get accustomed to the world of crafting and...
By nintendoworldreport.com onI always love getting a first-look at a game when it is still nice and fresh and people haven't piled on their opinions yet. I can't get to them all the time, I was supposed to review Minecraft when it first came along if I remember right but I...
By GamingShogun onWhile its cutesy aesthetic won't work for all, Portal Knights is a game that capitalises brilliantly on both its RPG and sandbox elements, elevating the merits of both.

Those looking for a solid gateway game into the crafting sub-genre should check it out — especially if they enjoy RPGs. The music does hold things back, but every other major part of Portal Knights works well.
By HardcoreGamer onWhen Portal Knights does arrive on consoles, it will be joined by the full v1.0 of the game on Steam, boasting the same 'final' content (though Keen Games and 505 promise consistent support and updates going forward for all formats). From what I've...

Portal Knights est un jeu dans le même style que Dragon Quest Builders mais créé par un petit studio. Il a toutes les qualités des grands voire même certaines en plus, comme la possibilité de jouer à deux en écran scindé. De plus, la personnalisation de...
