    So, in conclusion, I would suggest you not buy Balan Wonderworld because of the number of issues I had with it. I cannot describe my disappointment in proper words. I did not have the motivation to completely play this game during my entire playthrough, and I wish the developers good luck with their next project because I am kind of excited to see what they will do after such a failure.

    Honestly, I think it is unacceptable that a game was released of this quality at this price point. I urge people to ignore Balan Wonderworld as it is evident that the developers and the titans that are Square Enix were simply happy producing a cash grab that could be given little concern as the it would not affect their bigger titles' reputation.

    A boring hat game

    i am not a person that usually gives the game a really bad score. However, this was my lowest score for a reviewed game. The puzzles are sorta interesting but the story lacks what people want in a game: enthusiasm. The concept is not the greatest and the game feels too easy, with little to no enemies to beat.
