  1. Breadbasketbob

    This game was just not good. I don’t know if its just the switch version or all but there are massive framerate issues. It’s just not that fun to play either.

    I though a colorful adventure game from Square Enix what could go wrong. Apparently everything….

  2. FamilyOfSeven

    Son really enjoys playing this game, he says it is a bit difficult to get to the different levels. Overall, he gave it a thumbs up.

  3. Jianbing

    I wanted to like this game— I played it for 10 hours. You move a character around 3D platforming maps while transforming into different “transformations” sort of like mario, except in each transformation all four of your buttons perform the same action (A is jump, B is jump too, X is jump too, etc). The stage design is quite drab in this game, and the music is unfortunate. If there was a positive thing about this game, I would say it still makes you work to solve platforming puzzles. I dislike that boss battles are short and all work mostly the same. If you want to play this game, I would do so with your expectations low.

  4. Will

    Well worth it i recommend this game to anyone love the switch. I know most people hate this game but they are wrong

  5. Mike

    If you like Banjo- Nintendo 64 and Crash Bandicoot how could you not love this game. It’s simple-yet-varied, endlessly imaginative, and designed with all the sensibilities of the bygone platformers of yesteryear.

  6. Kenjinmisuta

    Really slow sloppy poorly made games come on guys that pretty bad

  7. Omeaos

    Sweet, fun and entertaining, not the best platformer out there, but one that does have a new touch on your general jump over platforms.

  8. Fitzy

    This game is garbage lol. No wonder it was marked down to $20 after 3 months

  9. Odin

    Wife bought the game she likes to look at it in the box catching dust i played it a bit its ok and graphics not half bad

  10. Unknown

    It’s A Gift but I Know They Wanted This Game ………..

  11. Godnamedtay

    Terrible game. With a great developer putting his name on the line with this game I think he should retire from video games because this was a dumpster fire! Purchase at your own risk.

  12. SpecialK

    I bought this for the meme, because it was on sale. Don’t actually recommend to spend money on it to play unless you like jank

  13. joey302

    I had read that this game was a big disappointment but i can’t say for sure as i have not tried it yet but it looks awesome!

  14. Bofa

    This is a game that you play for the experience. This game is not good, but it’s something I’ll tell my grandkids. “Back in the day, Yuji Naka thought he could pull a fast one on me, but nah”

  15. Carlj

    Great game fun to pay and a really good price worth it

  16. Emer

    Is ok game is worth the sales price which I paid $15

  17. jonbjohns

    I’ll be honest, I only bought this because I played the awful demo and want a reference point on everything to not do in games if I ever make one.

    On the positive side, the cutscenes are very much reminiscent of the drug trip you imagined happened while playing Nights into Dreams as a kid. On the negative side, the platform mechanics are dreadful, the equivalent of Chao are fun for like 3 mins, and though they patched what made people nauseous from the demo (to the point people that normally don’t get motion sickness with games ended up getting motion sick), this is very much a thing that can still happen with the first stage.

  18. Earthworm

    Nice graphics. Costumes with separate abilities…………………

  19. Squarehard

    Fun game, but be aware that it’s kind of glitchy at times. The game itself has some interesting game mechanics, and the outfits and such are kind of neat. There is a 2 player mode, so if you want to have a game for multiplayer game, this is a pretty decent one as well. Not perfect by any means, but fun.

  20. Inku

    Seeing trailers i was excited for the game but after demo and final game, very disappointed. Interesting ideas that are poorly executed, and visually it lacks the visual imagination it kept aiming for, and gameplay is just bland and boring.

  21. Masterquake7

    This game passed QA? I’m guessing that testers fell asleep during the first hour and just passed it to keep from having to play the rest of this. Hard skip unless you want it for the collection.

  22. Mandy

    I bought this game few days ago. It was a great game

  23. Cinva

    This game is magical for little kids to play with I see my grandkids just in awe when I turn this one on

  24. SCG1997

    For reasons Beyond me I have no idea why Square Enix even approved for this game to be released.

  25. Spunkygirl

    Purchased for christmas gift. Grand kids liked playing it.

  26. Calen

    Nope game was horrible if I could give zero stars I would graphics horrible too many glitches

  27. Jakestorm

    Balan Wonderworld for Nintendo Switch
    I paid $20 for it…..wish I had not. I am not surprised it is selling for $10 now…….it just plain is not much fun.
    Avoid it

  28. Goodies

    This game is awesome and highly recommended for fun.

  29. Made2envy

    Definitely a longtime waited successor to the game Knights and let me tell you don’t hesitate buy it now.

  30. slimval55

    loving it very much graphs are really great price is right

  31. GameFan48

    Don’t know why this game didn’t do better. It is totally fun!

  32. VBaca

    They say it’s the worst game ever but it was actually fun and entertaining

  33. JohnnySB

    This game is really bad. It seems like it was just a terrible idea or execution

  34. OctoberR0se

    It’s ok… if you are playing solo, I don’t recommend as a co-op game.

    It’s pretty. It’s fun. It’s vibrant…

    but the adventure is better solo.

  35. Branden

    Really good game. Definitely recommend. They should make a second.

  36. jimbo

    Good game for my daughter who is 9 years old. A little old school but fun to play. Probably a gmae you would not play every day like some of the others

  37. ChrisTup

    This is another game we bought for our granddaughter.. she just loves her game’s.. she can’t wait to get more..

  38. Andru1

    If you want to play a fun platformer with an interesting plot, well there are better options, but this one ain’t that bad.
    Just don’t get the Switch version.

  39. Adam2003s

    This game is kind of basic. It was fun for alittle bit. I dont see myself playing this very often.

  40. Timothy

    This game is rough, lol. Both the quality of the game itself, and it’s performance on the Nintendo Switch are super rough. The game is pretty, I will give it that, but it chugs along on the switch like a picture slideshow at about 10 to 15 frames per second. The game itself though is VERY basic. Looks beautiful graphic wise, but it’s very bland and boring. It almost plays and feels like a cheap mobile game.

  41. William

    came in good really good great game for the kids.

  42. Thomas

    Easily one of the worst games ever made. I picked it up because it might be a rare collector’s item someday.

  43. AgingGamer

    10 dollars for a physical game. Why not soent more in a crappy lunch

  44. CSGO13

    Not a good game at all, which is what I expected. Just bought it incase it gets rare one day. Very blinding lights.

  45. SoSoDisneyFan

    Decent graphics, maybe an interesting story, but the controls ruin the game

  46. JustinM

    I love it! Dont believe the memes and just enjoy the game for what it is

  47. Lido

    If I could rate this below 1 star I would. I really only bought this as something to add to the collection, because I feel like humans in the future will want to know what problems this era faced.

  48. Unknown

    Bestbuy comes through again with another awesome deal on a great item. My favorite store to shop at. Check out the deals of the day!

  49. Flash

    It’s a fun game but kind of confusing and no where near the top level of games

  50. TechDad

    A lot more fun than many YouTube reviews have you believe. It is a little simplistic in terms of control scheme and not many of the suits are actually used more than once. Overall it’s a good time.
