![]() At least I didn't pay for this game because it's currently free for PS Plus Extra/Premium subscribers. I played this game for 1 hour or so, up until the first boss fight, and was disappointed enough to delete the game. I expected more from the lead programmer of the classic Sonic games. I know there were issues behind the scenes during this game's development, where creator Yuji Naka had a diss with Square Enix and was fired, but even if that's to blame for the technical shortcomings and lack of polish, the core game idea is nothing special. At least I didn't experience any Cyberpunk 2077-style freezes, slowdowns and glitches. Here memories and vistas from the real world mix with the things that people hold dear. The stars of the show will use special abilities from a multitude of characterful costumes as they adventure in the bizarre and imaginary land of Wonderworld. ![]() On last-gen consoles and the Switch it's said the game runs horribly. BALAN WONDERWORLD is a wondrous action-platformer game themed around a mysterious musical theatre. On PS5 the game kinda runs at 60 fps, but moving objects and even parts of the environment that lie 10-15 meters away run at 30 fps or lower. And I haven't even touched the technical issues of this game with low frame rate and ridiculous grass pop-in like 2-3 meters away from the avatar. Even then, controls are far from being tight and precise. You can hold 3 costumes at any time or find different ones in the levels. Abilities that are taken for granted in 3D platformers or are unlockable, here are just randomised, that's some odd decision-making. There is a costume for a spin jump, another for a long jump, a third one for spitting fireballs, a fourth one for jumping and slamming down, and so on. ![]() It's a cute 3D platformer but other than moving around, your abilities depend entirely on which costume you happen to wear.
