#instead its a bare bones mario 64 without any depth

ok, so ik id say id talk about balan wonderworld on stream, but fuck it. heres my 4am first impression on balan wonderworld

how and why did they think the status the games at. is safe for a march this year release. when really it still feels early in development and feels like it needs a year or two before its safe to release

like, the controls are way too simplified, even for an aimed at kids 3d platformer (new super luckys tale, mario 3d world, & banjo-kazooie), the visuals, while interesting on paper, are like. absolutely horrific on switch. and i heard things arent better on ps4 & ps5 & even pc

the costumes. arent really that deep. the main gimic of the game is trying to be mario odyssey but without any of the fun

the game was absolutely perfectly marketed that i got very excited for, but in the end. it just looks beautiful on paper and the cutscenes. and now my optimism for what couldve been a spiritual successor to nights into dreams, one of my favorite games i played last year, has been wavering

yooka-laylee & mighty no 9 are better spiritual successors, and this isnt. even a supportive comment either. that is the truth

god, i just. hope they delay this game for a year or two, at this state. the game is Not ready for release, and i really want balan wonderworld to be a good, great, and even excellent game

as it is now, im just. sad :[[[

#ruby says clown shit #i still love balan alot balan is one of my faves now #but god when yuji naka joked ''well!! everyones excited. lets rush development on this game'' i hope he actually wasnt serious #idk if this square enixs fault or balan studios fault but. i really expected more from a nid successor #instead its a bare bones mario 64 without any depth #i might replay nid again just to feel shit...
