Cube World

The game has it's ups and downs and it makes fun for several hours but disappoints when you enter new zones/biomes because you have to nearly start all over.
All in all the price is fine.
Last year the developer made the anouncement that he is working on a new version in the spirit of the alpha version which was a lot better in many ways.
It could be that you have to buy a new version but I rather think it will be an update 2.0.

7/10 Pretty fun game. The alpha version has much better pvp though, and a very very small community of friendly people.

Tbh I will be more excited when the new Cube World comes out. but i can't be angry at a singular developer and his wife who mind you went through hell to get to the point where we are now, for trying new ideas on a project that probably felt stale being the only tester and developer. Do I recommend this I can't really say, I don't like it. But you never know this might be for you, but know that this is just putting your money into a future investment at a better game. All of the things you learn here will be useful when the next one comes out.
And Woolay if you're reading this I love what yall have started and cant wait to see what you make.

This game is a pretty decent game. The game definitely took a wrong turn whilst in development and it shouldve stayed more closer to the alpha. The game is probably not worth 20 dollars but its still an extremely fun game if you have the dedication to play it. There are some huge flaws with the game that cause people to not buy it. 1. All players are on the same server with different regions and biomes, the problem with this is that players can spawn in a biome with insanely strong enemies and be very stuck. 2. All your equipment and gear downgrades to practically shit once you leave the region it was found in. 3. the leveling system is terrible consisting of collecting "artifacts" which barely increase any of your stats such as +3% climbing speed. Now for the upsides. 1. The graphics are amazing and the art and design is great. 2. the gear system i personally think is more improved than the alpha version as now its a star system instead of +1 2 3 etc. 3. Your given a wide verity of weapons to chose from 3 for each class each with its own attack speed, right click attack, and some of them you can dual wield. In short, Cube World steam version had almost achieved a perfect game but it strayed too far from the alpha, if you have a spare 20 dollars spare and looking for a grindy game, this is the game for you. (or if you want free just search up on google for alpha)

I've followed this game for years, my first experience with it was watching Paul Soares Jr playing the alpha version on youtube. I love the blockiness, the large open world, the pet collecting and the gear leveling. I know Wollay has big plans and I expectantly wait for his update. But it's a unique game that is fun solo or with friends. Definitely better with friends as this game comes with a bit of a challenge. For a game made by one person it's very well done.

This game's world always captivates me. Had fun memories. The only bad side is limitation to exploration (you have to start from scratch every new area you go) and immense cpu usage. I wish this game had more updates.

So after reading all the reviews I was very sceptical about buying this game, but after playing the alpha for a few days, I wanted more, so I decided to bite the bullet and buy this full release. When I tell you I was shocked at how so much of the backlash against this game is unjustified. You would think this was a completely unplayable mess but it is so much like the alpha that I don't understand why it gets so much hate.

The most notable difference is the levelling up system. Instead of earning xp for each kill, your progression level is tied up with the weapon and items you have equipped, and I think this makes for a unique level system that I haven't seen a lot of. There are so many more mobs that are fun to discover and the terrain is so much more varied, there are new structures, the respawn points are in little ancient Greek style temples, some even on floating islands that I haven't figured out how to get to yet (near them is an alter type structure with an eagle statue so I'm sure later when I progress more, there will be an item to activate them somehow.) And also there are a lot more wandering npc's in the world, some friendly and some foe, and this just makes the world seem more alive.

Another plus is npc's, both in towns and in the world, are actually useful to interact with. A lot of times I will speak to someone and they will add a quest to the map for an item to get or someone to save, or even just a rumour they heard, and it feels very dynamic, not just "oh here's a quest, check it off, here's your reward".

Something I noticed as a minor downside is I think the lighting as changed from the alpha, because I noticed there isn't the same hazy shadow on everything like there was in the alpha, but this is so insignificant that it isn't a reason to not like the game.

As someone who was absolutely obsessed with the alpha when it came out, I 100% recommend buying the full release. It's not that expensive, if you want to wait for it to go on sale whenever, do, but don't be fooled by all the negative reviews that are only based on nostalgia. This game came out 5 years ago and I didn't buy it on release despite waiting years because of all the backlash, and all I can think of is all the time I wasted, because Cube World is an amazingly fun game.
