✦ AI summary

Ballance The Return receives mixed reactions from players comparing it to the original game. Many praise it as a nostalgic throwback with solid fundamentals, but several criticize it for being overly complicated and losing the simplicity that made the original enjoyable, along with complaints about camera control and difficulty spikes. Technical issues like missing cloud save functionality and accessibility concerns for neurodivergent players are also noted, with most suggesting it's worth trying only if you can't access the original.

The game doesn't seem to recapture the same simple fun as the original Ballance did, it seems to have just too much going on to be fun, that is why I loved the original Ballance game, it was fun and simple, just get to point A to point B with some puzzle solving mixed in, don't get me wrong, this game isn't bad, just not for me

Nice throwback to Atrai's Ballance release in 2004. One request is Cloud Sync for level progression. My son plays this during holidays, but I've had to reinstall Windows and Steam, and his progress becomes lost to much frustration.

Liked the original game, the mood, the camera control, the music, the sound effects. This one is a disaster and a pain to play with. I asked for a refund after playing only ten minutes.
Recommended Dec 22, 2022
I'd say the original had my attention more. While I like the story idea, I also dislike it because having to read the text makes a neurodivergent person like me lose its focus and failing. I also didn't like the extreme levels. I preferred the first one's extreme levels, but its a nice update nevertheless cause I can't seem to get the other game! PS: Id only recommend it because I can't recommend the original...

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
