Balan Wonderworld is a Square Enix action platformer for PS5, with 12 dreamlike stages and over 80 costumes that grant abilities for solving challenges and battling enemies. It suits players who enjoy imaginative worlds, costume-based gameplay, and story-driven platform adventures.
Recommended For
- Players who enjoy exploring colorful 3D platforming stages and trying costume-based abilities to reach paths, collectibles, and secrets. The costume variety is the game’s central hook, though reviewers note that some abilities overlap.
- Two people who want a local, same-screen platforming game to play together and are comfortable coordinating costume abilities while sharing the adventure.
- Players who like revisiting earlier stages to search for missed secrets and collectibles, rather than moving through each level only once.
- Players drawn to whimsical, storybook-like worlds and a straightforward action-platformer structure, especially if they are willing to trade precise controls and deep mechanics for a more unusual presentation.
