Perks I like most about Playcanvas are, It can run in a web browser. It helps in team collaboration and work together in developing game easily. It has a good and simple interface which makes enthusiastic while building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While working on bigger projects, its server can run slow if you are using a browser extension. It needs a good internet connection to work smoothly. Sometimes testing may become hard due to debugging issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Playcanvas doesn't require any software to install and can be run in browser directly. It serves as a better platform for developing 3D games and applications. It also supports developers by providing integration tools like HTML, CSS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't allow much configurations if you are using a trial pack. And for a new user they might face integration difficulties and will get debugging issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Playcanvas allows users to build 3 dimensional games with ease by giving privilege to add basic configurations, to build control panel, to add objects and adjust saturation levels within the game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Playcanvas offers its premium membership at a bit higher cost, but its entry-level game creation configurations can be a plus point for the amount paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like its 1GB limitation. But I understand it. I wish there was an educational version. And it also lacks some YouTube resources. The documentation is good but I wish there were more video tutorials Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that with PlayCanvas I can create, edit and further customize my own games and projects. With PlayCanvas, which is in my opinion the best application for game developers, I can not only start my own projects but also invite other people of my team to simultaneously work on my same project! Classic editor is my favorite one and is the easiest WebGL Game Engine to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PlayCanvas often presents bugs and I encountered difficulties during updates in the past. Recently I have found PlayCanvas being more user-friendly in respect to the past, so I am overall happy and satisfied with this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PlayCanvas is great to be used in schools for any types of gaming classes! This is an open source application that allows users to be able to create their own games. What I like best is how interactive the experience of creating a game on PlayCanvas can be, as it's not just coding but rather using the imagination to be able to construct something using the things that they provide.

The challenge of using PlayCanvas is that there are definitely some difficulties involved in learning how to use this. It takes some time initially to figure out what exactly needs to be done in order to make the game that it is that you want to make. However, that is definitely part of the experience and helps in making PlayCanvas as fun as it is! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really like about PlayCanvas is how it can be used by pretty much anyone! Despite being someone who is the advisor of a programming club in a school, I was not very well-versed in programming and so I began looking for ways I can learn more. I began to love using PlayCanvas so much that I even suggested it to the students and now they love using it to practice! This has been great to use overall.

There aren't a lot of instructions given by PlayCanvas as to how to proceed to whatever it is that users want to do. Hence, it is definitely not user-friendly to those who this is the very first time that they're doing anything related to programming or coding. Therefore, I did not like the fact that I received very little instructions at the beginning of when I began to use this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
