What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The lore and quests in the game were actually pretty fun to do, along with the character designs!
Trash Goblin, developed and published by Spilt Milk Studios Ltd, is a cozy shopkeeping and crafting game that focuses on restoration, creativity, and relaxed pacing rather than traditional high-pressure gameplay systems.
Visually, the game adopts a bright and inviting art style that emphasizes warmth and charm.
Sometimes while cleaning a trinket, the game "softlocks" by not letting me click anything or rotating the trinket to finish chiseling it, and would make me return to Main Menu and relaunching the save file to fix it.
It is most certainly a relaxing game, the mechanics (and accessibility changes for those who need them) are just the right balance, and I appreciate how much the devs clearly love their game.
I've been playing on steam deck and frequently I can't select a row of items in my storage, things get stuck on screen, or an item clearly placed on a shelf falls off.
