Playing 'Let's create! Pottery' was an interesting lesson for me as a gamer, or more specifically a bit of a reminder to not judge a book (or game in this case) by its cover. While the ultimate aim of this not-quite-a-game title from Infinite Dreams is to merely craft pottery, the journey from hobbyist to artist is a surprisingly fun and challenging experience to follow.

Much like the creation of real pottery there are several stages to work through. At first you'll be presented with a pre-formed starting block of clay on your potter's wheel which can be stretched, squashed and played with until you create the shape you desire. After firing the clay you can then apply designs to give them that professional touch. Once you kick things off you'll start getting orders from customers after specific designs, but you'll need to pay for the necessary tools to make their elaborate ideas come to life. Thankfully cash can be earned by selling pieces at auctions and the more creative your designs the more you'll earn for your efforts.

The artwork is surprisingly realistic, with the clay carefully shifting shape under your fingers, changing colors when fired and looking amazing once you've applied the finishing touches of paint.

The best part about 'Let's create! Pottery' is that once you've unlocked everything you can let your imagination roam free and as time-wasters go, this is a truly unique experience. Definitely recommended for those with an artistic streak that needs constant release.
