Balan Wonderworld Received A Suspiciously High User Metacritic Feedback
The release of the action-platformer Balan Wonderworld from the Balan Company (a subsidiary of Square Enix) and the studio Arzest Corp. passed unnoticed. Critics did not like the project very much: many publications did not hesitate to give marks in the region of 3-4 points out of 10. But with user reviews on Metacritic, a much more interesting situation developed.
Over the past few days, players have allegedly posted several hundred dozen Balan Wonderworld on the pages of versions for all target platforms. Now the PC user project rating of 8.2 points out of 10. Something similar happened on the PS4, PS5, and the Xbox the X the Series. The lowest rating is on the Nintendo Switch, where there are many negative reviews from people.
A glance at the accounts that gave good marks suggests that bots are involved in the case – some players have come to a similar opinion. In most cases, these account holders only rated Balan Wonderworld and did not conduct other Metacritic activity. Moreover, many have given the platformer ten points on the pages of several platforms.
Meanwhile, the project received only 61 reviews on Steam, 67% of which were positive.
