**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fatir A. | Technical Designer - God of War, Entertainment, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2016

**What do you like best about Cocos2d-X?**

Different solutions for different people. Find the tool that works best for you or is the most like your other workflows. Well tested with lots of high quality products make this a good bet for final products.

**What do you dislike about Cocos2d-X?**

Many split up codebases and frameworks that make it confusing to get started and difficult to find good tutorials.
Documentation is lacking, and information on the internet is a scattershot compared to other engines. This makes it especially hard for beginners.

**Recommendations to others considering Cocos2d-X:**

Be careful when getting in to Cocos2d. There a lot of different choices, and documentation isn't the greatest across the board.  This is a great and mature product if you are able invest the time into learning it. Make sure you weigh this against competitors, as there are other options that provide similar or better solutions to the same problems.

**What problems is Cocos2d-X solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Game prototyping. I would like to have a good solution that I can get up and running quickly for testing various game ideas. This engine is very good after you get more comfortable with the codebase, however, that time investment is steep when compared to other solutions.
