Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 5 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

BW is notorious for being hated online. It's a platformer that comes from the minds of Yuji Naka (ex big shot from Sega) and Square Enix. You control one of the 2 characters (nameless female or male character), explore 12 chapters that each have 2 acts initially. Act 3 is unlocked after completing the story. An act consists of one level, each chapter also has one boss fight after act 2. The gimmicks of the game are having 80 outfits with unique moves and taking care of cute pets in the hub area. Let's start with what the game does right. It has a lot of content, each of the 12 chapters have completely different aesthetics, the bosses are unique and the cutscenes look gorgeous with the famous Square Enix CGI full motion videos. The game's soundtrack is also excellent, I'm reminded of Kingdom Hearts games a lot. it might be the same composer. The gameplay can feel great at the best of times, when you have different outfits trying to figure out where to use them, trying to find the collectibles and exploring the environments. The pet system is genuinely awesome with how you can feed them different coloured crystals (?), they turn into different colours which can help you differently in levels (such as certain pets being more helpful with fights or finding items for you), how you can hatch new eggs and how they can be used to build a huge structure in the middle of the hub area. The game has tons of issues with the fundamentals and it's heart breaking because a lot could have easily been avoided with better design decisions. Let's start with the 2 main ones, outfits not assigned to different buttons and outfits being consumed. With the first one, you can bring 3 outfits with you at a time. You swap between them with the triggers even though you have different buttons that all activate the same outfit (why?!). It's clumsy and it wastes a lot of time, I can live with it if it was the only problem. But outfits being consumables and losing them with one hit is the biggest sin. You better stock up on many of the same outfits and be prepared to lose them after falling by accident or being touched by an enemy. The game has massive issues with controls, responsiveness and the enemies respawn in the same spots after a while, too quickly in my opinion. That issue ruined a lot of the game for me. It's when you complete the story and unlock the best outfits that you can avoid those issues most of the time. But by then, it's too late. The game also has awful mini-games found randomly and the QTE segments can also be very annoying and repetitive. The game would have been better off without those mini-games, and I say this as someone who tends to like them usually. Honestly, there are too many other issues but I'm going to leave it here to keep this paragraph reasonably long. Balan Wonderworld feels misguided. It's clear that it received a huge budget but a lot of it has been used on unnecessary things. I see the brilliance and fun at times, but there were other times it really pissed me off. There is a huge potential in a better game that is more focused and better designed. I don't think the game we currently have is worth experiencing to get to the good part, unless you're too curious for your own good. It's not as bad as what many say, but that doesn't mean you need to play it. It took me over 41 hours to complete the game and get all the achievements. Most of the achievements come naturally but you still need to do a few specific ones that aren't too hard, just time consuming.

this game changed my life (this is not a good game, only buy it on sale to have it as a haha)
Underrated and a hidden gem. If u ignore politics all u will have is a yuji naka game that is freaking awesome. Game has so many character(costumes. If u love sonic and billy hatchet then this is where u need to be man Game is a 10/10 and no im not biassed. I dont care about politics. Just like i still love r kelly music. Who says he really did it. All we hear is hear say. This game has no bugs and is a well deserved platform. Better than spyro and crash and yooka. And im no exagerating. U need to use your brain here This is one of those last games of the old era. U need to git gud. It looks happy but it has a dark spirit
El juego es lamentable. Me he quedado 3 estatuillas para conseguir el platino, pero he optado por desinstalarlo ya, porque me iba a generar un trauma. Tengo pesadillas por las noches con los quick time events. Es ridículo que con los malos que son haya mas de uno por nivel. HAY DEMASIADOS y son todos iguales prácticamente. Lo de reparar la torre Tim me parece lo peor que he visto en mi vida en un videojuego. Es tirarte horas y horas parado en el lobby sin hacer absolutamente nada, esperando que los dichosos bichos se monten en la rueda. Encima la historia no se entiende un carajo. Leí por ahí que hay que leerse unos comics donde cuentan la historia xDDD No lo jueguen por favor.
this game is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chore
todos podrán hablar mal de vos Balan Wonderworld, pero yo siempre te voy a querer. si Balan Wonderworld tiene 5 millones de fans yo soy uno de ellos, si Balan Wonderworld tiene 100 fans yo soy uno de ellos, si Balan Wonderworld solo tiene 1 fan, ese soy yo, si Balan Wonderworld no tiene ningún fan es porque yo ya no estoy en este mundo...
Hello to the wonderworld, say hello to balan's world creative af, easy game but much color much nice, a dreamer's game
Theater lights flicker Costumes hide fractured dreams within Wonder slips away
Objectively, this game is genuinely bad. It fails in almost every aspect – graphics, mechanics, “story” (which apparently this game has), sound design or combat, with a few boss battles being an exception. BUT, thanks to all that, it is also incredibly entertaining thanks to its failures. So, if you like to have a laugh at the expense of crappy games, this one is a must play.
Definitivamente, un insulto absoluto al género de plataformas y colectaton (no se cómo se escribe) El juego visualmente es muy lindo, lindos diseños, lindos personajes y los mundos son muy llamativos. pero SOLO ES LA PORTADA DEL LIBRO - mundos completamente vacíos, innecesariamente largos - npc´s que solo bailan sin sentido alguno - los niveles son innecesariamente largos, - el juego te obliga darte muchas vueltas para pasarte un mísero nivel El juego usa una mecánica de los trajes, en niveles tu desbloqueas trajes a base de una habilidad hecha para poder pasarte los niveles y avanzar, suena bastante bien y simpático pero - en todo el juego SOLO TIENES UN BOTÓN DE ACCIÓN EN CADA UNO, con los mil botones que tiene cada mando, todos sirven para una puta función (literal se puede jugar con un mando de atari 2600) ¿cual es el problema? que CON LA HABILIDAD DEL TRAJE, TE QUITAN LA ÚNICA ACCIÓN QUE TIENES, LA CUAL ES SALTAR, y digamos que no todos los trajes se basan en saltar, el juego se autolimita de una forma super injusta. La trama es totalmente inexistente, arreglas los problemas a gente que ni siquiera llegaste a conocer y todo con escenas super cortas que no te generan nada. Vences al jefe con solo 3 golpes y luego se ponen a bailar. Los trajes son una oportunidad perdida, unos son muyy pero muyyyyyyy situacionales, que estan solo para obligarte a pasar un nivel, muchos opacan a otros. el juego igual te obliga a coleccionar estatuas de balan que estan dispersas a lo largo del nivel, suena muy bien y rejugable, pero el juego te OBLIGA a rejugar niveles con nuevos trajes para avanzar los puntos positivos: - los gráticos son lindos - la banda sonora es super buena - el arte del juego y los personajes son hermosos los puntos negativos: - super simple - mundos muertos - la historia es inexistente - los quick time events son ridículos - solo hay un botón de acción en todo el juego Solo lo recomendaría estando en oferta, ya que se nota que el juego fracaso tan fuerte que siempre lo bajan a casi 85%
