The do-what-you-like pacing, charming presentation, and endlessly addictive nature of tackling increasingly complex structures in an effort to ultimately erect an impressive castle, mirrors an addiction we haven't experienced since the last time we preened in our pretty pinata gardens. [Dec 2008, p.88]
Above all else, the gaming experience in A Kingdom for Keflings is very unique. There have been only a handful of titles that have made a leisurely activity fun, and this is definitely one of them.

How is a game where giants make people basically go through slavery a fun time?

I'm going to make this short and sweet. This game is great, you have lots of fun and is a nice break from all of that serious, scary and intense FPS or other types of games. It has a nice cartoony feel and boy, I Hope you have good managing skills! It has a nice story and has some good jokes that can be laughed at by anybody (it has a good balance of jokes and game play to progress) you could play this with anyone and lose track of time! going from one world from another with different resources, different design. its a great experience, go buy it now or when your sick of serious and intense games. and that is why i'm giving it a 9.5 out of 10.

Although it has its performance issues and presentation quirks, Keflings rises above both to achieve a Zen-like quality of pleasant addiction.
Keflings' charm and habit-forming rhythm make it worth the price. Just don't expect it to hold your interest beyond the first playthrough.
Short-lived settlement building with soothing gameplay and music. [Nov 2008, p.84]
Its lethargic pace could put many off, but the mix of strategy and resource management is hard to fault. [Feb 2009, p.104]
I cannot say this is a bad game, but I can't really say it is a good game either. While I had no problems when it came to frame rate, no crashing, or otherwise any other problems, the game is just a simple sim construction and resource management game. It was engaging enough to keep me occupied for about 10 hours or so to earn all the achievements minus the 2 online ones (I don't eve specifically go for online achievements as I find those to be hard, time sinks, or near impossible to get due to lack of player participation online). The only really frustrating elements I found to this game were 1) the camera, because you only have limited movement with it and can only zoom in/out so far. And 2) the actual Keflings more often times than not get stuck between buildings when transporting. Sometimes they just seems to disappear, never to be seen again. Had this mechanic worked, I think it would have cut my play time down an hour or two.
My recommendation is that you pick up a couple Redbox movies to play on another TV while playing, or pick up a few albums from your favorite band to listen to while playing this, because it can get pretty repetitive. I probably would not pay money for this game, so it being free with XBox Game Pass was the right way to get this, and very easy for you to get about 150-200 gamer score in a few hours.
