    Portal Knights Review: A Bright Start
    Despite it having been out for over a year on the PC, I'd never heard of Portal Knights. Within an hour of booting it up, I immediately knew why, and that realisation made me sad. The reason me, you and probably many others have glanced past Portal Knights is because it is so reminiscent of just a ton of other games that you'll have played elsewhere. Minecraft, Terraria, Dragon Quest Builders, Zelda - they are all here, and that's cutting the list short if I'm being perfectly honest.

    [...]

    At the simplest level, Portal Knights is a basic, third person action game with light RPG features, crafting and such like. The game takes place on a series of themed, procedurally generated floating islands, and perhaps the only unique thing about Portal Knights is the mechanic that binds these islands together.

    [...]

    That said, if you were thinking of starting a new world in Minecraft but just haven't got around to it, then why not do it in Portal Knights instead? The islands act like microbiomes, each of which has its own unique resources, and the combat is better. The graphics are also so similar to those of Minecraft that they could be considered a high definition remake of Mojang's seminal mine and craft-em-up. The appeal of Portal Knights is amplified massively by having friends that will join in, and when I referred to the similarity with Terraria earlier, I meant that the game has bosses, treasures and other reasons to drive the player forwards, which is something Minecraft has never excelled at.

    You could do a lot worse with your time and money than spend it on Portal Knights, so for that reason, if it sounds like your cup of tea, then you should certainly: Try It!​
