They don’t always push the limits of the hardware, but the art style is easy enough on the eyes. While they’re diverse in design, they all maintain the same cheerfulness, with consistently bright colors and dancing NPCs. There are twelve cabaret-inspired chapters, each of which contains two stages, a boss, and a third stage unlocked after you complete everything once through. The platforming isn’t as tight or precise as many modern peers of the genre, but if you can tame the often-unpredictable camera, it’s inoffensive enough on its own."Įverything you do in Balan Wonderworld is contextualized with a cheerful story about overcoming inner demons. "In most instances, Balan Wonderworld plays it straight as a 3D platformer challenging you to use the different abilities of the playable character to collect various items hidden around each level and defeat bosses to progress. The platforming isn’t as tight or precise as many modern peers of the genre, but if you can tame the often-unpredictable camera, it’s inoffensive enough on its own. In most instances, Wonderworld plays it straight as a 3D platformer challenging you to use the different abilities of the playable character to collect various items hidden around each level and defeat bosses to progress. Even though it comes from the creator of Sonic, it takes the clearest inspiration from many recent 3D Mario games, most evidently Super Mario Odyssey, and the comparisons are as unflattering as they are inevitable. Immediate comparisons don’t flatter Balan Wonderworld. Its lack of continuity and failed attempts to create a multifaceted experience means that its appeal is far wider than it is deep, and it tries to juggle too many unrelated pieces to ever really find its footing. While the aspects of the game you’d expect to amplify the experience are there in pieces, Balan Wonderworld instead fails on a larger front to create an engaging long-term gameplay loop. On paper, and even in the run up to its release, it seemed like there are a lot of things about it that should give it a jolt of enjoyability, catharsis, and nostalgia for a long history of costume-based platformers, especially as it’s helmed by Yuji Naka, one of the original creators of Sonic. We took at look at the more recent reviews and found this pattern continuing with review such as this one from a user named Eruthym.Playing Balan Wonderworld is a lot less entertaining than it should be.

The simplest explanation for these reviews is that they were generated by bots according to Alex. Given the general bad reception surrounding the game, these comments look very suspicious. “A really shiny experience to live for just have some good moments of fun, with a nice platform” – Beryph “Overall, I’m feel satisfied by this Balan Wonderworld” – Ukaty “Live this game as an adventure And you will be rewarded with the best platform ever” – Larryor Here are some examples provided by Alex from Nintendo Life. Many of which have usernames which looks like jargon and reviews that contain grammatical inconsistencies. NintendoLife recently reported that they found several 10/10 ratings for the game on Metacritic. The Day 1 Patch prevents this issue as well as enhances the overall play experience.Īlongside the less then spectacular reviews from sites such as IGN and user ratings on Steam, the game has not had a favorable debut. We have received reports of a photo-sensitive epilepsy risk from a potential flashing bug if playing the game un-patched. Please ensure that you install the Day 1 Patch before playing.
This wasn’t helped by the fact that there was a Day one patch for the game due to report of epilepsy sensitive players being triggered by scenes from the game. But the demo that released shortly after quickly dissolved the masquerade surrounding the game’s quality. But it seems like it’s found a haven…on Metacritic?īalan Wonderworld was unveiled a year ago with a theatrical aesthetic and colorful presentation. The latest platformer from Square Enix released just one week ago and has been panned by critics across the internet.
