LadiesGamers.comKalina MikovaMay 2025I liked Trash Goblin in its Early Access version. There were some things to iron out, but it had a lot of promise and potential. I am happy to report that the full version more than lives up to that potential. Trash Goblin is a delightfully relaxing and cozy puzzle game; if you enjoy the genre, I recommend trying it – you’ll love it.

Thumb CultureJun 20254/5 starsMy only real complaint about Trash Goblin is the mechanic of selling to the Strangers (non-named characters). As I mentioned above, I almost never had something someone wanted. It would have been great if players could have placed stock, similar to Moonlighter or Amber Isle. Although the market you’re able to go to does help with this issue a little. Any minor bug issues I did encounter during my playthrough were all in relation to the trinket bag, and they were sorted easily by a reload of the game. Overall, Trash Goblin succeeds in being a casual game. Its gameplay is fun, simple, all while letting you go at your own pace. I confess there weren’t a lot of characters I liked, but on the other hand, there weren’t any I hated either. Which for me adds to the whole running a store vibe. I award Trash Goblin the Thumb Culture Gold Award.

CGMagazineJordan BiordiMay 20256.5/10Trash Goblin has the foundation for a genuine cozy game, but implements half-hearted sim elements for an experience that never feels as satisfying as it could.
