Project Spark is an imaginative and rewarding game about making games. It's tough, but worth the work.

Make Your Dream Game

Project Spark differs from other create-a-games. It goes the extra step of not just giving players blank canvases on which to create their own adventures, but also hands them powerful tools to help sculpt, mould and carefully craft their experiences.

Project Spark allows you to unleash the gaming creator inside you

The most powerful game creation tool ever released for a console, but it's less accessible than it could be and the endless microtransactions leave a predictably sour taste.

Fantastically powerful and surprisingly easy to use once you start to experiment; Far more versatile than any other creation tool and the Starter Pack is reasonable value for money

After playing Project Spark for an extended period of time, I must say I was disappointed. A game built around creation makes it frustratingly difficult to do so. Combine that with a singleplayer mode stifled by pay walls and the options are pretty limited.
