  Game Builder Garage is a great way to learn the basics of game programming through an easy-to-use visual language. The tutorials may be overbearing for some, holding your hand through each step, but the engine is surprisingly robust and will let you create whatever you want.

  Game Builder Garage represents a fun and engaging way of dipping your toes. It is not overly convoluted, and is approachable when it comes to creating polished experiences with a little bit of work. The software educates, guides, and makes the creator’s enjoyment a key part of the process.

  Game Builder Garage is an excellent choice for any gamers who are fascinated by the video game designing process but have little experience with how it all works. Its simplicity and cutesy approachability make it the best entry point for those with no experience, and a great learning tool for kids in particular.

  Game Builder Garage is a fun introduction to the world of programming for a younger audience when it comes to sticking to the basic tutorials, or for a moderately experienced audience when it comes to actually making standalone projects. This title, however, is very limited for those who want to make lengthy game projects that offer a lot of content. You’ll be able to create amusing little chunks of gameplay, with your own artwork included, which will keep you occupied for quite some time.

  Instead, Game Builder Garage feels like a pedestrian effort. The scope of games across different genres that users can assemble is amazing, but there just isn't enough in terms of assets or customization for users to put a truly unique stamp on their work. Plus, if anybody does manage to create something incredible and worth sharing, actually sharing it is a pain.
