I liked Balan Wonderworld. i didn’t love it, but i certainly don’t understand the hate- I haven’t ran into any bugs, some of the powers were neat, the music was phenomenal, and the simple controls were a selling point for me. it was like playing a new Dreamcast game in 2023 for better or for worse, another Billy Hatcher or something.
I personally did not enjoy this game, but I’m really happy to know there is someone who did. I hope there were at least enough people into it to help convince game devs to make more old school, wacky 3D platformers like it. I miss games like Banjo-Kazooie, DK64, etc.
3D platformers are seeing a bit of a resurgence on the indie level at least which is pretty exciting. In particular I’d recommend the Spark the Electric Jester series (although the 1st is 2D) and Lunistice in particular
