A Bad Showing-The Winter Spotlight

Hello there winter game lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here to take a look at Roblox’s most recent event, the 2024/2025 Winter Spotlight. The Winter Spotlight returned to the classic event formula of actually having to play games to complete the event which means for the better part of the last week I’ve been ignoring my family in order to judge the wood grain of every single game in this event. Or atleast judge as much of the game as is required to complete the event. Unlike most of my reviews where I try to play a game to what I roughly consider to be their completion, I only played the games in this event until I completed the event goals. In some games with dedicated event modes this means I barely played the normal game. As a result any game that gets a pass here only gets a pass for the event. And as for the games that have bad wood grain? Well, a failure is a failure, and that counts.

Is it unfair that not having any bad wood grain doesn’t get a pass while having bad wood grain gets a failure? Yes, because this is my blog and I make the rules as I see fit. Anyway, here is a quick review of every game in the event in whatever random order I played them because that helps me organize the screenshots.

Deep Down-2018 Egg Hunt Part 15

Hello there Egg Hunters of Roblox, WoodReviewer here with part 15 of my look at the 2018 Egg Hunt by Fifteam. Originally I was going to make this post back in April but seeing as we actually had a proper hunt this year that didn’t seem necessary. However I didn’t want BuildThomas and the rest of Fifteam to think that I had forgotten about them this year so here I am to review world 5 of The Great Yolktales, The Undernest. So, how is the wood grain in world 5?

Scary Grain-The Haunt

Hello there Halloween fashion lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here to take a look at Roblox’s most recent event, The Haunt, which should have finished several minutes ago if you have nothing better to do but read my reviews as soon as they are posted. Much like the previous events, this main hub for the event was developed by Twin Atlas, but unlike the pervious events this was was more of a fashion show than badge collection event, with the participating games acting more like a glorified fashion stage than an actual event to complete. This makes my job a little bit harder since I usually review the participating games in events by completing the tasks in a game and reviewing the bad wood grain along the way, but as you don’t need to complete anything in these games there isn’t any reason to visit them. However, I don’t want these games to get off scot free, so I’ve decided on a new way to look at these games: I will have 30 minutes to play them in anyway I want, but if I find any bad wood grain in a game I can stop playing it immediately.

Much like previous events, if I am unable to find bad wood grain before I finish the 30 minutes, that does not mean the game has no bad wood grain, it just means the game was able to hide it from me and it gets a pass for this review.

Oh, and just for some fun, I decided to include how long it took me to find any bad wood grain, and trust me, some of these times are really funny. And with all of that out of the way, let’s get ready for some really scary wood grain.

Everybody Likes You-Care Bears Caring Quest Part 1

Hello there Care Bears lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here for my first look at Care Bears: Caring Quest by Care Bears x Exclusible, which totally isn’t a holding group because they didn’t want it to be hosted by the Shovelware Studios and as a result have a laughing banana shoveling a pile of poop as a group logo. Anyway, this is part one of my review because the game isn’t done yet and has no time table for when it will be done so I’m not going to sit on this review for months. But until then, we have part 1. So, how is the game so far?

More Games-The Games

Hello there game lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here, and if you are reading this then that means Roblox’s latest event, The Games by Twin Atlas, is probably over. Or maybe it got extended, but I’m not changing what time this post goes up so if it is still going on than that is great.

“But WoodReviewer, what was the event?”

Good question. The Games was a Roblox event that focused around sports game in a non-copyright infringing way where by completing events you were given points to get hats, and you could also join teams for the event and help your team be number one and win a prize. Or join the Foot team because feet. Anyway, there were 50 games in this event, and like The Hunt and The Classic I took a quick look at each and every one of them to look for bad wood grain.

There is one small caveat though. Usually when I review games I review a majority of the game to ensure the game has no bad wood grain. For The Games, there were 50 games to review over a 10 day period, so instead of reviewing the entire game, I just took a look at enough of the game to complete any of the tasks for the event. If I don’t find any bad wood grain in that time, you get a pass. But if I do find bad wood grain, well, that is a fail. Now I’m sure some of you think this is a bit generous but don’t worry, I found enough in my quick look of the games in The Games.

So, let’s start this, shall we?

Digital Sports-Olympic World present by Visa

Hello there lovers of some sports that I am worried about mentioning due to copyright laws that I really don’t want to have to deal with, WoodReviewer here to take a look at Olympic World presented by Visa by the Olympics. Yes, 16 years after Roblox played with fire by doing some slightly questionable copyright infringement, the Olympics now have an official game on Roblox, presented by Visa. So, with the largest international sporting body behind it, does Olympic World presented by Visa have proper wood grain?

No.

The first example of bad wood grain that I found in the game was right near the spawn in Olympic World presented by Visa, specifically the small weight lifting area. The issues here are on the pergola over the actually exercise area. The vertical supports have bad wood grain, and additionally the the top of rafters have improper wood grain, going front to back relative to me in the picture, instead of side to side like the front face of the rafters. From my years of experience of yelling at devs on Discord, I believe this is likely due to the pergola being made by duplicating bricks and resizing them to make the structure, rather than rotating the rafters so the grain faces the proper direction. This would be a quick fix with part flip, or an even quicker fix if they were properly rotated while building when duplicating the rafters.

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.
