Critic Reviews for Trash Goblin
Trash Goblin has the foundation for a genuine cozy game, but implements half-hearted sim elements for an experience that never feels as satisfying as it could.
Trash Goblin has the basics of a cosy experience, offering a casual, low-stakes loop with charming characters and accessible mechanics.
Trash Goblin makes you play like a goblin in a nice, quirky world, with simple yet addictive gameplay. However, I really would recommend changing the settings to save your hands from cramps.
Cozy shopkeeping experience in which you'll be upcycling items and giving them a new life
You play Trash Goblin for the relaxing tedium of everyday shopkeeping as well as encountering interesting folks along the way. You don’t play this if you’re looking for a challenge or engaging gameplay. That isn’t a bad thing necessarily. It’s entirely up to you depending on the kind of game you want to play.
Trash Goblin is a fun and simple cozy game with satisfying gameplay loop, memorable characters and stories, and a beautiful art style. There are some aspects of the story and gameplay that lack in variety, but the overall quality makes it a short but enjoyable experience.
I liked Trash Goblin in its Early Access version. There were some things to iron out, but it had a lot of promise and potential. I am happy to report that the full version more than lives up to that potential. Trash Goblin is a delightfully relaxing and cozy puzzle game; if you enjoy the genre, I recommend trying it – you’ll love it.
Split Milk Studios Ltd chose to simplify the mechanics of Trash Goblin as much as possible, aiming to appeal to a casual audience. The game offers a cozy atmosphere and a satisfying sense of progression, even without the typical pressure found in management-focused titles. On the other hand, these design choices result in an experience that can become repetitive and, at times, monotonous. Still, the overall outcome is positive, and Trash Goblin stands out as a good option for those looking for a light and laid-back pastime.
