Pizza Night Again-Work at a Pizza Place

Hello there pizza lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here again with another one of my (mostly) annual reviews of Work at a Pizza Place by Dued1. Seeing as this was the first place that I ever reviewed, I like to go back and look at it, which is all the easier because this is one of the few games from back in 2016 that still has an active player base. Anyway, this game is ancient, you all know what it is about, now the real question is has the wood grain improved?

worldsofwood- The Classic

Hello there classic users of Roblox, WoodReviewer here, and today I am taking a look The Classic event hosted by Roblox and Twin Atlas Studios. If you are interested in participating in this event, I’m sorry but for comedic timing I am again publishing this right as the event ends so it is over so you can’t. Or maybe you can. My point is you shouldn’t rely on me to tell you when Roblox events are occurring.

Now I’m sure if you ended up on my blog, you probably know what The Classic event is, but if you don’t then why are you here? Like seriously, why are you here? Go do something better with your time since the info here only applies if you play Roblox and know what the event is.

Anyway, much like my blog post on The Hunt, there are a few basic ground rules I made for myself for this review, and they are more or less the same. I will only play each game until I am able to complete all the challenges for each game, and base my review on that. Normally I do like to try and complete and entire game, or atleast a vast majority of what a game has to offer, before I review it, but due to the time crunch of having to complete 15 sets of challenges in 15 games, I don’t have the time for that. Yes, there are only 15 games instead of 100 games during The Hunt, but each game this time takes ~2-3 hours to complete, plus I only had 5 days instead of 15 to complete them all, so the time crunch for both events is about the same so the rules are the same.

One thing I do need to state is that these reviews are not final reviews. So for the games that I can’t find bad wood grain in it doesn’t mean they don’t have any, it just means I couldn’t find any within the scope of the event. But don’t worry, this won’t come up too much with event.

Anyway, that is enough for the intro, now into the actual games.

Bull- Lamborghini Lab

Hello there car lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here with a quick look at Lamborghini Lab, by Lamborghini and Sawhorse. For those of you who are unaware as to what this game is, it is a glorified ad for Lamborghini that features two customizable cars, a vault with several historical facts for Lamborghini, and a race track that is used for a time trail event. Overall there isn’t much to this game, so this review should be fairly sort.

So, how is the wood grain here?

WoodReviewer and The Hunt for Bad Wood Grain- The Hunt First Edition

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.

Boom Boom- Rocketeers

Hello there Abraham Lincoln fans of Roblox, WoodReviewer here for a review of Rocketeers by Badimo. And by Badimo I mostly mean Asimo3089 since Badcc doesn’t build. For long time readers of this blog, one I’m sorry for wasting so much of your time, and two you should be familiar with my long rivalry with Asimo over his love of using improper wood grain in games, insisting he won’t do it again, and then doing it again in his next game. So, how is the wood grain in Rocketeers?

WoodReviewer’s 2023 Advent Calendar Day 25

Hello there sleep lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here, and today is the final day of my 2023 Advent Calendar. This is my favorite day of my calendar, because it means the calendar is done, and I can stop spending most of my free time all month working on it and actually get a good nights sleep instead of being up until almost midnight every day putting the finishing touches on my calendar. So, with that in mind, what is the perfect gift to end this calendar with?

WoodReviewer’s 2023 Advent Calendar Day 24

Hello there mail lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here with day 24 of my 2023 Advent Calendar. Day 24 is always my favorite day of my advent calendars, because it is the second to last day, so it is the last gift I have to make. Yes, I do have day 25 tomorrow, but that gift is always made ahead of time because it special. Some of you have may have guessed today’s gift already since some other day was missing something to go with its gift, and now that we are down to the final day that leaves one of two gifts left. So, is this that gift, or am I saving it for tomorrow?

WoodReviewer’s 2023 Advent Calendar Day 23

Hello door lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here for day 23 of my 2023 Advent Calendar, the day only day on this calendar that has way too many 23s for me to not second guess myself. Speaking for second guessing myself, apologies about today’s gift being late. I nearly had it done but upon a final inspection I realized somehow part of the gift had shifted over by like .034 studs, which meant I had to redo a few unions on it to get rid of some extra gaps. But that objects has those gaps that I had to sacrifice my sleep for tonight to make sure they were made properly?

WoodReviewer’s 2023 Advent Calendar Day 22

Hello there painters of Roblox, WoodReviewer here with day 22 of my 2023 Advent Calendar. I know today’s calendar is a bit late after I’ve been saying that these gifts will stop coming out so late soon, but things happened and I spent like an hour just playing around with today’s gift in studio, so it’s late. And the first 21 days were all late, so why break the trend now? Anyway, onto today’s gift: What is inside the box?

WoodReviewer’s 2023 Advent Calendar Day 21

Hello there birch beer lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here with day 21 of my 2023 Advent Calendar. Yes, the end of this year’s calendar is fast approaching, and honestly I am really glad for that because I am honestly almost completely out of ideas for new gifts. Today alone I spent like 30 minutes going through my old calendars looking for unique gifts to make, but I already remade all the good ones. So, what is today’s gift if I’m out of ideas?
