It's collaboration and cloud features. We used PlayCanvas in our school during the pandemic as alternative to Unity. It also like it's sprite tile editor as compared to Unity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like it's 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 present 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There aren't a lot of instructions given by PlayCanvas as to how to proceed to whatever it is that users want to do. Hene, 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.
What I like best is how PlayCanvas has really changed the way that I am able to work on my coding. As someone who works for a nonprofit organization, I'm always looking for ways as to how I can continue to expand my skillset so that I can help the organization when I code the newsletter emails that we send. Through PlayCanvas, I am currently able to improve my skills with the games that I play, which I think is really cool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike is that not a lot of instructions are given for beginners and so this isn't exactly user-friendly for beginners or those individuals who may be attempting to use PlayCanvas in order to be able to learn from the beginning. PlayCanvas is definitely more well-suited for people that have a firm understanding of how to do basic coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think this app is one of the best for developing and edit games, as it allows you to develop projects in teams/groups of multiple people at the same time.
Classic editor is my favorite one and is the easiest WebGL Game Engine to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simulations may present bugs and the importing 3D models function doesn't always run smoothly.
PRO20 update is a little too expensive, but it is worth it and I am satisfied overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
