Hello there egg lovers with way too much free time these last two weeks, WoodReviewer here, and today I am taking a look at Roblox’s most recent event, The Hunt: First Edition. Now I’m sure some of you think this is going to be some small cop-out where I just look at the main hub or something, but no, I have all 100 badges. I played every game. Every game in The Hunt will get my judgement.
Well, at least an abridged version of my judgement. You see, normally when I review a game I tend to complete it, or if it is a simulator and that is impossible, at least reach the end game gameplay loop. This can take anywhere from a fifteen to twenty minutes for a showcase, to seven to eight hours for a large game, sometimes even more. Seeing as this event is fifteen days long for a total of 360 hours, and has 100 proper games, that would require about four hours of gameplay, on the low end, for each game, plus an hour of writing for each game for the review, so that would put me at about 500 hours total. Not including sleep, eating, or bathing. And I’d have to finish those 500 hours in under the 360 hour event time limit. So yeah, that is not happening.
Instead, these were the self imposed rules I laid out for this review: I will play each game only as long as I need to in order to earn the badge for the event. I will then only judge the game here on what wood grain I see while earning the badge, or while wandering around lost trying to earn the badge if the instructions on how to earn the badge are bad. The games were not reviewed in any specific order, but rather just by how I completed them, which is mostly based on how close the games were to my spawn every time I joined the event hub.
Before a bunch of you get excited since I was unable to find bad wood grain in a decent amount of the games, the reviews below are not proper reviews but mini review, and while a game having proper wood grain here isn’t a WoodReviewer Badge of No Bad Wood Grain™, and bad wood grain I find will condemn the game to being a poorly made trash fest just like every other game I review that has bad wood grain.
Is this biased?
Yes.
Do I care?
Only as much as the average dev in this event care about proper wood grain, which is to say I don’t care at all.
And now, let us get on with this review before the wall of text here gets absolutely insane.
