While it's a pretty short game, it's very well written and filled with charm, but I guess that's what the best of the fans and SEGA can do for the fans. Overall it's an excellent game and, if you like Sonic and/or murder mystery games, I'd highly recommend checking it out. (And no, I'm definitely not being hijacked by Eggman to say this.)

While I may have barely touched VRChat, I have seen tons of other users having fun with it... at least until Meta got in the way and bribed VRChat to roll in EAC, which also prevents mods from being used.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Whoo boy, this game is... something, to say the least. As much as I like the world within it, the gameplay isn't really spectacular or something to write home about.

It's not that I like the gameplay (I think it's mediocre, but passable if you have nothing else to do, at best), but it's rather that I like the rest of it as a whole; the characters, morals, themes it tackles, soundtrack, and novelization. The novelization, despite having some questionable translations at some parts, is actually a surprisingly good read and gives a lot more depth to every character who's inside or entered the BWW theatre, so much so that I'd recommend reading it over playing the game (and it's considerably cheaper as well).

The game and its dreadful execution, however, is where things begin to fall apart and the seams of this supposed wonderworld really start to show; it's pretty slow-paced, vapid and boring, you have to do tedious minigames and bouts (which you can't even restart if you get them wrong, lest you restart the game from the title screen or beat the world's boss) if you want to finish the game 100% (or even finish the game at all since you're going to need statues to beat the game, and you get some of these statues by perfectly finishing these minigames), and even the story and characters in it are lacking compared to the novel, in which the game gives little-to-no explanation to either (especially Leo and Emma, who are essentially just blank slates for the player - the former is egregious since in his intro cutscene, he seemingly awkwardly leaves after some people try to get his attention, never actually clearly stating his reasoning inside of itself; the official site explained that Leo had an argument with a former friend a long time ago and prefers to be alone since), and costumes are often very samey (which is to be expected if you have around 80 of them).

Overall, if you really want to experience Balan Wonderworld for yourself, I'd recommend purchasing the novelization and/or soundtrack and not the game itself. It'll likely be easier for you (and your wallet) rather than playing something that most people consider cumbersome.

If you like Terraria, then I highly suggest you check out tModLoader. It basically enables Terraria to have mods, and all in all, it becomes a much more fun but hectic experience.

I'll keep this simple for now; if you enjoyed Sonic Mania and wanted more from it, you're sure to love this update. With its new Encore mode as well as two classic (and obscure) characters making a reappearance and even having new gameplay styles for them, it's sure to keep you occupied for a while.
Unfortunately, as of when I posted this it appears like Steam was a bit slow on the update process as they've yet to push out the update to Sonic Mania to actually recognize the update. Thankfully, it's been fixed now.

Ah, Terraria, one of the more well known games on here, and also one of my favourites. Simply put, it's a lot like Minecraft, except it's 2D and has far far more content than Minecraft, and that's in terms of blocks, enemies, weapons, bosses, and even in terms of special events. For example, did you think that the enemies spawning night was bad enough? Watch out for the Blood Moon, enemies will swarm all over your screen in an attempt to get you on the surface layer.
And, like Minecraft, there's also a sense of progression, although unlike it, Terraria has much more stages of it due to the amount of bosses. There's even a hardcore mode if you manage to defeat one of the bosses, which, as the title says, will put your world into hardcore mode, meaning more powerful enemies will now spawn, as well as more powerful ores and such later on.
In the end, would I recommend this? Yes, of course, it's a fantastic game!

A friend of mine suggested this game, and it's quite fun! Although, the game has numerous flaws which can get in the way of playing... Let me list some of the Pros and Cons and such:

Very Fun and Addictive!
Quite good structures and realms!
Very quick difficulty learning curve, meaning you'll get the hang of it quite quick!
You get 'Perks' once you level up, which range from Cosmetic stuff to helping features to mandatory features.
Realms are easy to find, although quite confusing as well due to their erratic placement on the World Map. This can pose a problem when trying to find free space for a Realm. (See Below)
When you die, you don't lose anything, and just get sent back to the warp or a checkpoint if you hit it.
Realms have a location of their own, so placing them anywhere doesn't matter for their appearances, excluding where they're located on the map. This can lead to oddities where a player was expecting something themed after where they placed their Realm, only to find a small Grassy Realm with some of the basics.
The Game sometimes abruptly disconnects, although that often doesn't do much but log you out. Even then, you can just log back in with ease.
If you're offline for too long, your Realm may end up back in your inventory as a Deed to free up space in the World Map. It works, although finding free spaces isn't easy. (See Below)
The game doesn't make an account for you automatically, so you'll have to click on the Question Mark box on the right of it to make one there.
I know this is a free game and it costs to keep it up, but you should really consider making some items craftable in some form or another or make them much more cheaper, as you'll have to mine tons and tons of blocks to get the amount of Cubits you need just to buy them! (Or just use your real money.. See below) Heck, even the stores operated by players have cheaper items, making the official Cubit store kind of redundant, provided you can find one that's on, of course. This brings me to my next con (I'll get back to the store later);
You'll have to click each and every block you want to mine, as apposed to simply holding down the button associated with mining in Minecraft. I think there should be like a fill tool for mining where your Qbee (Or Tool) will mine out blocks within a certain radius (5x5x5?) or something. And speaking of mining...
Well, it's not that bad, but sometimes when your Qbee is mining, they'll say "I can't reach that!" even though it looks like it can easily, which means you'll have to manually move your Qbee to get to the block you want to mine. This is especially problematic in tunnels with only 1 block to pass through in the Y range (Vertical), since your Qbee will say "I can't reach that!" If you want to go up or down a block unless there's an 'air block' above you. And sometimes, your Qbee just spazzes out with Slam Jumps for a while if it's a bit high up. Which makes me go to my next point...
Only a few blocks have Slam Jump compatibility (In that they'll do something if you Slam Jump on them), while the majority of others don't. Plus, it gets in the way in Parkour Maps, where if you Double Jump and accidentally press the Jump button again, your Qbee will Slam Jump all the way to the bottom of the map or where ever the last ground block was (Provided it lands on it), meaning you'll have to restart the map from the beginning or checkpoint. Plus, speaking of Parkour Maps, I had a bit of difficulty in one where the Camera was basically covered by some ground in certain positions, which lets me go on to my next point...
I know there's Fadey Foam, but I think that could be like an option for worlds if you want to force the ground to fade somewhere, or if the feature is turned off. Honestly, it's really irritating if you make a cavern, and then you have to mine all the way to the edge of the map (Unless you change the camera angle, but even then, it could still be covered by the foreground) just because the camera is blocked by the foreground. And speaking of the camera...
Not even unlocking it from the settings helps that. You only have a certain radius of moving the camera up and down, and you can't even zoom in or out (Well, sans the fact it kind of zooms out from the bottom of the screen when you open up your inventory), although it can go in a full 360° along the X axis (Horizontal).
Although you can look at them at its official site[www.cubiccastles.com], I would still like some sort of way to see all the Crafting Recipes in-game. Speaking about Crafting...
You'll have to wait until you level up to get that perk if you skip on them, and that can be pretty time consuming. There's also a perk which can give you a hat, but it's pretty much useless besides that. Speaking about clothing...
The only clothing you can really craft yourself are Shirts and Pants, the rest you'll have to buy from the store. It's random what item you'll get, so you may just get some generic pants or a generic shirt. Speaking about the store...
As I said before, you'll have to mine quite a while just to get the Cubits so you can afford something mundane as a stamp for your Realm or just some blocks! Also, the Realms and Rooms cost over 500 Cubits, even more for Realms? You can also buy Cubits for your real money, which is fine by me, although when you make about everything look like you need to buy it with real money, that's not fine by me. And then there's the Almighty Cube, which is just some decoration for around 25,000 Cubits. No, I'm not joking. You should really make it much more cheap, Cosmic Cow. In fact, please make all of the stuff in the store cheaper. You'll have a lot more people enjoying this game if you do.
Granted, there are more worlds for players, but you should add some sort of empty Realm finder for the search bit in the map so finding one isn't tedious and boring.
That means once you pull it, it's pulled no matter what (Unless you place it down again, but you can't place blocks down in Mining Realms). It gets worse when some blocks don't even give out the blocks and just something else when you pull them.
I know it's just the players, but rarely does anybody talk in a world, unless it's densely populated or it's just a Holla. Even then, sometimes the Hollas can be really annoying and there's no way to turn them off, or even to disable the Chat box from automatically showing when there's a new Holla, somebody just said something, or even when somebody enters and/or leaves a Realm.

Honestly, I could list more flaws, but I'm running out of words due to the limit here. The gameplay is pretty fun besides them. For now, I don't really suggest you play it in its current state, but if you can get past the flaws, it's pretty fun!
