Bro, why do you like Balan Wonderworld? It's a really bad game. If you want good platformers, play Mario Odyssey, Banjo Kazooie, A Hat In Time, etc.

People ask me this a lot. Allow me to explain what about this little game I love so much.

The CGI Cutscenes

Visual Works did so well with these. They capture the essence of the Saturn era of Sega as well as the musical theatre aesthetics that they were going for so well, the animation is on point, and it is just overall really good to look at.

The Character Designs

Naoto Ohshima of Sonic, NiGHTS, and Blinx the Time Sweeper fame returns to design the characters for the game, and it really shows. All of the character designs in this game look amazing, and despite my wishes for the costumes to cover up Leo and Emma's faces, the overall character designs are amazing. Balan and Lance have some of the best designs in the game, and the inspiration from Nights and Reala is very quick to notice, but they overall are able to stand on their own, and look really good, and would really fit in alongside characters like Sonic, Billy Hatcher, and of course, Nights.

Show, Don't Tell Storytelling

I feel like many people are reacting to the game's story as they did to some of the earlier Sonic games - they want everything spelled out to them nice and simple, so when the story only offers pieces of the puzzle or context clues and wants the player to put together the full picture, they just default to "The 'story' is non-existent and nothing makes sense! The game's story is further explained in the book Balan Wonderworld: Maestro of Mystery, Theatre of Wonder, if you want the story to be spelled out for you. The game has it's story telling shown, not told, and that's honestly kinda impressive.

The Problem with Balan Criticism

Before I make this point, I have nothing against Matt McMuscles or the Wha Happun series. I actually enjoy his content. I just couldn't find anything else on Google Images. There are genuine criticisms being made of the game. However, I feel as if most people are just clowning on the game for clout. I feel like this quote from EmpLemon's video on the downward spiral of video games rings true here, "On YouTube, there's a market incentive to ridicule games as much as possible. Nobody ever makes a video about a game being decently adequate. But when a game misses the mark, All the biggest commentators come out and blast it... Sometimes, it feels like people these days are actively rooting for games to fail so they can participate in the festival of mockery. 20 years ago, when a game flopped, nobody cared that much."

Conclusion

I thought this game was fine, and fun at times. I kinda wish it had time to be even better. As Shiguru Miyamoto once said, "A rushed game is forever bad, but a delayed game is forever good."
