Personal Thoughts 🐉 On The “Addictive” Game Splinterlands

 [](https://splinterlands.com/)  ### Welcome to another post here in the community. As you can see, I've recently been dedicating myself a bit to creating content outside my usual niche of #Animes and #Mangas. That is, I'm trying to expand my access to other curations and readers for my posts. So, I’ve been diving into the game [Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com/) and its entire ecosystem within [Hive](https://hive.blog/) itself. I’ve been playing for a while now *(probably just a full month)*, and I’ve already seen a lot of good stuff, but also some things that get in the way of playing regularly. So I decided to write my point of view here in a straight and honest way for those thinking about joining or who are already playing but want to better understand if it’s worth the daily time investment. First of all, let me say: *Splinterlands is good, fun, and full of potential.* However, it’s not the kind of game that glues me to the screen all day long, you know? I’ll explain why, pointing out some aspects I think could be improved to make the game more addictive and I’m not just talking about making money, but really keeping the player engaged through gameplay and experience.  [](https://splinterlands.com/) Every day, we do the same things: build a deck, jump into daily battles, complete quests, check out new cards... But that gets repetitive quickly. The game has a lot of cool stuff, but *the battle dynamics are always pretty much the same* it doesn’t really change much. I enjoy games that offer a more varied flow, constant surprises, new challenges, and a different reason to come back beyond just the rewards. In Splinterlands, the experience tends to become a bit monotonous. Of course, for those who enjoy strategy, building decks is great but not everyone has the patience for that every day. Anyone who follows the game market knows that the secret to keeping players hooked is *fresh content and events that give good reasons to log in daily*. Splinterlands gets updates, yes, but I don't see much that makes me go “wow” often.  The game could launch more exciting seasonal events, weekly challenges that shake up strategies, alternative modes… That would help create that daily urge to log in different from just “doing the routine.” If you don’t invest heavily, your progression can be way too slow. Maybe that’s my case? Buying good cards costs money, and farming rewards by playing daily isn’t as fast as other blockchain games promise. That can be discouraging for those who don’t want to become pros or spend significant amounts. The feeling of “spinning your wheels” without quick progress is something that lowers daily engagement. And that matters because *the daily grind depends on the feeling of advancement.* ***But hold up...*** I’m not just going to talk about the negatives. Splinterlands does have qualities that make me come back every day. The idea of earning cryptocurrency or NFTs that are actually worth real money is a huge motivator. That gives it a flavor we don’t get in regular games. When players realize their time can turn into cash, they build a discipline to play daily at least to avoid losing what they’ve already earned. And of course, there’s the community aspect. You can find awesome people and content about Splinterlands in the #Splinterlands and #Praetoria communities. In the end, **Splinterlands is a good game with solid differentiators, but it’s not the kind of game that keeps you glued to your PC or phone 24/7.** It has its space, especially for those who enjoy card games and blockchain, but it falls short in delivering that daily experience you *feel like you just can’t miss.* Sure, a lot of people play daily and love it and that’s totally valid. I just think it’s important to be realistic about the reasons why the game *doesn’t* grab you that hard, especially for new players. If you’re looking for something that makes you go “I can’t stop playing,” you might end up a bit frustrated. But if you like strategy games, active communities, and a chance to earn real rewards, it’s definitely worth trying and fitting into your routine.  ### [https://splinterlands.com/register?ref=alienpunklord](https://splinterlands.com/register?ref=alienpunklord)
