If you count Eastern European as western, there's the Underail dev.

Never played the game, but from what I’ve seen isn’t it very menu heavy? Like Dwarf Fortress or any other large scale simulator game. I wouldn’t call that “antiquated”, at least not in the way I would a Japanese game. I think it’s a design philosophy difference. Jap-jank is the result of that design principle, where it’s a little janky almost intentionally. With Eastern Europeans or Western Devs, the jank is 100% a mistake or limitation. I don’t get that impression from Japs.

Underail is an RPG made to be like old school CRPGs. These games were quite menu heavy. Think the early Fallouts. Dwarf Fortress does have an adventure mode, though.
Hat in Time is probably a better example. It's pretty much a refined PS2 era 3D platformer.

He looks like some weird hybrid of a Blaziken and a Froslass to me honestly.

I think Arzest was the millstone around this game's neck. Their games tend to have a lower budget due to them being a relatively small company and they don't have a particularly great track record to begin with (Yoshi's New Island, Hey! Pikmin, etc.), so when the time came for them to make a AAA game they screwed the pooch hard.
If Square Enix had fully developed this game in-house or had outsourced development to a better company, it probably wouldn't have turned out nearly as disastrous.

What we can't even call things shit anymore, we have to preface it with "YOU ARE STILL VALID FOR LIKING THIS GAME"?

Literally the only thing wonderland has going for it is the aesthetics on the main guy everything else is just so outdated and crap

Regarding the actual fanboys of this game, have they also tried way too hard to defend the game, like how the TLOU2 fanboys did with that game? At least the story in Balan Wonderworld isn't a massive misery fest and torture porn, right?

Balan fanboys definitely try way too hard to defend the game, and the story does involve plenty of sad people, but they end up happy in the end.

So many things wrong with this seem to be really high-level game design things. Like, did they not even bother play-testing the game? Sure they may have fun out of time before they could achieve their full vision, but stuff like “you can’t jump while in costume” is just so fucking baffling that I can’t understand how anyone thought that would be okay.

Oh yes, Balan fans are fucking pathetic. So much so, they make fanfic art about characters from more successful games applauding and cheering for Balan:
If this art were in any way accurate, the other characters would be laughing at him or booing, not cheering him on. Hat Kid, Sonic, or NiGHTS would probably be laughing the hardest, all for ironic reasons. Sonic because he realizes his creator can't do anything right. Hat Kid because her game is ALSO a 3D platformer, made with less money, and an independent studio, and yet, her game sold more copies, and was received much more favorably. NiGHTS because Balan tried to copy him so hard, and failed miserably. Balan would be crying, but for a totally different reason.

Greetings. Every can have their own opinions (it is a free world after all) but I must state mine. This wonderful Game is in fact good, it's just that others see a bandwagon and must jump upon it. There is no justification for the hate this amazing game is currently receiving. Beautiful graphics, beautiful music, beautiful story makes Wonderworld a real treat for any serious gamer. May I suggest Haters go back to playing non-games like Animal Crossing?

You're very good at pretending to be a fan of this game, but you're going in a little aggressively so people will know you're trolling.

A roleplay account on the Kiwi Farms? I doubt you did much research, so you bet I have some qualms. Where's the rhyming? Talk about poor timing. Here, let me show you what I can do. Don't say I never did anything for you:
"Many opinions can be held by people online, so as a fellow netizen, I must state mine: This wonderful game is in fact good. Others just say it's bad-- they're acting quite rude. "It's bad, it's bad, it's bad," says everyone far and wide. They form a bandwagon, and others jump on the ride. There's no real reason behind all the hate. Graphics, music, story-- Balan Wonderworld is great. Any serious gamer must give it a try. I suggest haters go back to playing non-games, like Animal Crossing, and cry."
