Steam reviews

What players say

Recent and helpful reviews are mostly negative, citing a shallow loop, bugs, lost progress and grindy achievements, though some still find it a light, funny idle game.

Many players describe Pickle Clicker as a simple idle game: you click a pickle, buy upgrades, and fend off poglins that steal from it. Some enjoy the silly tone, the customisation options and the easy achievements, and a few say it is a fun way to pass a short session. Many reviewers, however, complain that progression slows down, upgrades become poor value once they are expensive, and the level-up systems take far too long. Some report bugs such as shop buttons disappearing, pickles-per-second not matching the balance, and progress being lost after a crash or restart. Some also find the poglin raids annoying, and a few say the last achievements do not unlock. Recent reviews are clearly more negative than Steam's overall totals, which remain strongly positive.

Praised

  • Silly, light tone

    Players enjoy the goofy humour and quirky touches like customising the pickle, which make it a funny distraction.

    Some players
  • Easy achievements

    Players find the achievement list quick to clear, making the game an easy completion for those who want one.

    Some players
  • Short, free playtime

    Players note it is free and short, so it works as a quick casual session without much commitment.

    A few players

Criticised

  • Slow, grindy progression

    Players say levelling and idle income slow to a crawl, with upgrades costing far more than they return.

    Many players
  • Bugs and lost progress

    Players report crashes, lost saves, disappearing shop buttons and pickles-per-second numbers that do not match.

    Many players
  • Shallow gameplay loop

    Players find the game repetitive, with little to do beyond clicking, buying upgrades and waiting for raids.

    Some players
  • Annoying poglin raids

    Players find the poglin attacks tedious, especially enemies that need several hits and raids they cannot avoid.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want a light, silly idle game to click through in short sessions, or who mainly want the easy achievements.
Who should skip it
Players looking for steady progression, depth or a stable experience should skip it, as recent reviewers report slow progress and bugs.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with long playtimes, who have reached late-game levels, mostly report resets, lost progress and grind, while newer players mainly mention the silly humour and short run.
