Mar 27, 2021Exciting and fun. This Balan Wonderworld became one of my favorite platforming games after hitting the credits.
The gameplay becomes much more immersive when you find the best costumes, and each level has hidden secrets reachable through the advanced costumes.
It also presents a fairly rich and multifaceted postgame.
Personally recommended for lovers of the platform genre. -

This game is actually great -
Mar 28, 2021Brilliant classic platformer, in the vein of old Saturn games. Reminds me of Nights into Dreams. Story wise imagine a family friendly version of Persona 5, where you have to change the heart of a unhappy farmer for example. Well worth every penny and a future classic (hopefully).

Mar 30, 2021I'm really enjoyed playing with this wonderful game.
From the level design, to the OST, this game shine in multiple great ways.
Then, sure, the graphics it is objectively dated for what concerns the general worlds of the game, but the great Pixar CG cutscenes are really objectively awesome.
So, an hit and miss game.

Jul 20, 2021Balan Wonderworld deserved to be far more than average, as the final game is a marked improvement over the demo. It's beautiful a lot of the time, character designs are mostly wonderful, the unique ideas that appear in each level are great fun… however the overall execution is simply lacking something important. The repetitive bouts, rough edges, and the sometimes awful physics make this a much harder title to recommend. It is full of bubbly unique charm, and is mostly heart-warmingly fun, but many will be put off by the slow, restrictive design, despite this being designed around it. Hopefully, the game will get some traction.

PLAYMay 4, 2021While not reaching its full potential, Balan Wonderworld is a grand and well designed adventure, which runs superbly on PS5. It’s perfect for family co-op play. [Issue#1, p.76]

Apr 26, 2021Balan Wonderworld offers a great story, accompanied by an absolutely wonderful soundtrack. That's about all it offers, though. In the end, mediocre graphics and rough gameplay make for a rather disappointing package.
