Let's Create! Pottery 2 for Pc

Like everyone else who has written a review, this is not about gameplay. Do I think that painting should be more accurate? Yeah. Do I think that some of the quests are ridiculously challenging and that there should be a permanent “help” button to alleviate frustration? Yeah, in fact I’m stuck on one now because I can’t figure out what the friggin pattern is for that eccentric flower pot. But all of that I can put aside because all in all it’s just a fun, artistic, relaxing game. My main complaint is the subscription model. $99 a year? There are MMOs that don’t cost that much. I’ve bought console games that don’t cost as much. And for what? More paint colors and a few more stencils? I understand that y’all need to pay your employees but it’s a ridiculous ask. If you made this game paid and asked for an initial payment of $4.99 or even $9.99 I’d be more willing. If you made it possible to purchase stencils and colors individually by being able to purchase all Chinese or all Aztec related features for a price I’d be more willing. If you made the subscription $1.99 a month I’d be more willing. But to charge more than most streaming services? I think it’s ridiculous. And while I kindly await my copy and paste response of “we do not ask for you to purchase a subscription, you can play the free version” may I just say - the customer isn’t always right, but this is the time to listen to us.

I paid the $99 to "get full access" to all of the colors, patterns, and clay colors. I assumed that paying basically ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR AN APP that I would actually get all of the colors and patterns right away. Nope, you still have to earn enough coins to "buy" them in the app. Ok, fine. But then to find out that you have to get all of these stupid points to level up is incredibly frustrating. There really isn't any way to get enough points to level up without having to get likes and followers which is annoying. I just wanted a calming activity to distract me from doomscrollong other social media apps. I don't want to have to worry about how many likes or followers I have. I hate that. I'm only on level 6, and it feels like it's so far off to get to 7. I can't imagine what other hoops I'll have to jump to to get to 8 and 9. I'm going to keep at it, because I paid $99 for it and I want my moneys worth. It just seems misleading to say that buying it gets you access to everything. Please don't force us into the social aspect of this. I just want to calmly make pots without having to worry about whether others like them or not! We nearly made it through this crappy 2020, just give us a break here and make this app truly relaxing and not competitive. Seriously. $99. For an app. That you don't even get access to. Can you tell I'm frustrated?

I really loved the first pottery game and I even bought the upgraded version. But this.... this is disappointing. Not only to find out how limited the free version is, but how expensive and over priced the subscription is. If it was a reasonable price for the app or a subscription I would gladly pay it because this is a fun relaxing game, but no developers, it is not worth $100 a year and all their responses to the reviews on here are insulting. I would have kept my mouth shut about it but I just updated and a lot of the features I already earned I can no longer use in the free version. Some of my favorite and most used stencils are now are only for subscription, and expensive clay it took a while to save up and buy I can no longer use. Luckily they left the handful of paint options alone, and I would have been playing a lot more in the first place if there were some decent paint options for the free version. I just don’t understand how making this so expensive so only a select few can afford it makes more money than making this a decent price many people would be will to pay for. Please don’t respond to this with more of the same “no it’s not too expensive” excuses, I’ve already read them all and none of them justify it.

This game is infinitely better than the first Let’s Create Pottery in a lot of ways. There’s way more quests, a better public forum, and way more design options (colors, brushes, extras and clays). That being said, the premium feature is pretty seriously flawed. Most of those extra designs and colors require a premium membership to purchase, which is disappointing on its own. I was even more disheartened when I decided not to continue premium after my free trial ended; it turns out, any premium colors and brushes you buy while your membership is active, you can no longer use it your membership expires. This is kind of ridiculous to me. If I bought the designs and colors in question, that should be it; I should be able to continue using those. That being said, I understand they need to make money; it just seems like it could be a little more reasonable. I will say, all of the regular quests use only non-premium designs and basic colors that can be blended, so you can continue those pretty endlessly.
