Critic Reviews for Crashlands 2
Crashlands 2 has been worth the wait, especially for those who want a simple crafting and farming game that can be played on an iPhone or PC. Its tongue-in-cheek charm, dubstep silliness, and approachability make it worth playing for hours on end…so long as you get past its initial learning sluggishness.
Crashlands 2 is a charming, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt survival-crafting game that knows exactly what it is — and revels in it. While it has some bumps, repetitive enemies, vague quest tracking, and the occasional clunky combat moment, the overall experience is warm, witty, and wildly creative. If you’re after a crafting survival game that blends humour, home-building, and space shenanigans with a loveable art style and great writing, Crashlands 2 deserves a place on your playlist. It’s the survival genre in its comfiest hoodie, with just enough chaos to keep things spicy. With its gorgeous presentation, eccentric writing, and an interesting world to explore, Crashlands 2 earns the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
Crashlands 2 offers a smooth experience in both combat and crafting, and while simple, the battle system engaging and strategic fights thanks to the use of dodging and reading enemy attack patterns. The setting is enhanced by vibrant art direction and a memorable soundtrack, making planetary exploration genuinely enjoyable.

Crashlands 2 is full of character and lets players explore and progress on a strange alien world completely at their own pace and in their own way. While the combat can feel a little stat-checky, and early progression can be slow, players should generally enjoy Crashlands 2 for all the freedom and creativity it offers.
Crashlands 2 brilliantly combines exploration, management and humor. A feat once again achieved by the Butterscotch Shenanigans team. The universe is vast, the story rich, and the game mechanics offer a wide variety of activities that keep the player engaged for several hours. Despite a few shortcomings related to the clarity of objectives and text overload, the title remains a captivating and entertaining experience, ideal for those who enjoy adventure games where creativity is rewarded. It's not always easy to make a sequel, but the challenge has been met!

The world is filled with quirky characters and delightful details, and the crafting system is intelligently integrated as the player progresses. While combat isn't the game's strongest element, it's supported by customization and strategic options that add welcome depth.
