Cube World

For what it's worth;
i still love this game. I understand it's flawed. I understand it's near-abanonded. I can't let go of it.
Call it what you want. I can't let go of it, too many good memories of the game, watching the game on youtube, bdoubleO will always have my heart. We got a family computer, first game we bought was Cube World. Shared it with my brother. We both own it. And hell, once in a blue moon, we play Cube World together. I joke about it, but it does mean a lot to me.
Bad game? Sure. Here's my positive review.

I get it, this game is abandoned and it's very hard to even progress through the game as everything is region locked and the story itself isn't the brightest. But I still find myself enjoying this game, it's relaxing, it's not a game you can really rush, and yea, sometimes, at least at the start, it's a bit frustrating. But I still love this game a lot.

recommended if u play with mods for anyone familiar with alpha. ive played 100 hours in 2 weeks. join the discord if ur new.

I played the Alpha probably close to 300+ hours
and with that said lets begin
The full release with no mods is one of the worst games ive ever played and doesnt feel like alpha in no shape or form
but heres the thing if you can live with downloading mods to a game then the game can become close to the old cube world and get rid of region lock and change so artifacts make you gain meaningfull stats then you got a great game
the worst part is the region lock and the laughable artifacts
but i would recommend this game if youre willing to download mods

I’m giving this a thumbs up because, despite the controversy surrounding its release mechanics, there is still a beautiful, unique experience here if you approach it with the right mindset.
If you judge Cube World solely as a traditional RPG where you endlessly stack stats linearly forever, you might get frustrated by the region-locked gear system. But if you look at it as a pure exploration and scouting game, the charm completely takes over. The voxel-based, procedurally generated worlds are vibrant, gorgeous, and incredibly fun to traverse. Scaling a massive mountain, hang-gliding across a valley, or sailing through uncharted waters feels fantastic.
The action-based combat is snappy, active, and genuinely satisfying once you master the dodging and combo loops for your class. Taming pets to fight alongside you or act as mounts adds a great layer of classic RPG flavor, and diving into ancient dungeons with a buddy in co-op is where the game truly shines.
It’s not perfect, and it requires you to shift your expectations about progression, but the sense of wonder and discovery in this infinite blocky frontier is absolutely worth experiencing.

Lovely game with good bones but not so much meat.

Fun with friends, while also confusing without looking up on youtube or something.

Bought this game way back when it wasn't even on steam and it had barely come out, as my friends and I got super excited by the trailer and, as little kids do, we bought it with our parents credit cards.
With that said, when I tried finding a way to play this again, the developer kindly game me a key for the steam release, as I had proof of ownership via an old email. For this reason and the whole backstory behind this game's development, I feel inclined to recommend this even if for playing for a few hours, just as I did.

5.0/10
In hope for omega i leave a good review, the hope never dies they say
