The Hub-The Hatch Part 11

1 Reply

So, with 410 places done that you would think that it is time for me to rest. But there is one more game that I need to review before I can call this event done. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you Twin Atlas, this is your time to shine.

Now I can’t be too mad at the developers of The Hub. Out of the entire event the Hub was the best part of it by far, especially since only a dozen or so games had actual quests for their eggs. But by now you should realized that I am not satiated by fancy effects or cutscenes and that the only thing that will satisfy me is proper wood grain. So, how is the wood grain here?

Santa’s House-Egg Hunt 2018 Part 16

Leave a reply

Hello there Hatch haters of Roblox, WoodReviewer here with Part 16 of my review of the 2018 Egg Hunt by Fifteam. Now you might be thinking that the fact this is part 16 of my review means the event was terrible with how much bad wood grain it has, and while yes that is true, the length of my reviews have also been inflated since 2018. I used to keep my reviews to around a thousand words and 20 images max, while if you read my reviews of the previous Hunt events you would know that is short for me now. And sure, I could just end the entire review of the 2018 Egg Hunt now with one longer blog post but for reason that will become clear soon I won’t. So with the fact the wood grain was bad already established about 11 reviews ago, what exactly is wrong with the next sub world, Blizzard Valley?

Bits and Pieces-Wood Scraps 2

Leave a reply

Hello there small game makers of Roblox who are hoping that if their game is small enough they will manage to escape my wrath, WoodReviewer here with the second edition of Wood Scraps. All of you who were here for my previous edition will remember what this is, but for those of you who missed out on Part 1, Wood Scraps is my way to review game that either don’t have enough content to be a proper review, or games that I just don’t have enough time to put into to finish a proper review. Realistically this means that some of these games are games that I just don’t want to play anymore, but this also gives me probably deniability that none of these games fall into the category.

Even More Horses-Horse Valley

Leave a reply

Hello there horse lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here to take a second look at Horse Valley by Ming Horse Valley, aka SirMing. Now if you are curious why you never saw my first review of Horse Valley that is because it dates back to August of 2016, almost nine years ago. For those hardcore horse game fans out there that have gone back and looked up the review, I’m sorry for saying that you’ve probably never seen it, but for everyone else please stop lying, the review has had less than 50 views in the last five years, I know you haven’t read it.

So, what exactly has changed in the last nine years? Well, for starters most of the game has followed the trends on Roblox to just switch to smooth plastic for everything, so that is something. Take this well from my first review. It has about half a dozen separate issues with it.

Now take a look at the modern version of this well. It is all smooth plastic, so problem solved I guess.

Completely Random-Randomizer

3 Replies

Hello there chaos lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here with a fairly late review this week. If you are wondering why these reviews have been late these last few weeks it is because now that it is summer I actually have stuff to do outside while the Sun is up. Anyway today’s review is of Randomizer TheBuilderMC’s Group. Now I am sure most of you have never heard of this game, any many of you that have heard of it are confused as to why I am reviewing this game. The honest answer is simply that I didn’t have a good game to review this week and was browsing games earlier today trying to find a game to review. So, what made me want to review Randomizer? Was it the name? Word of mouth? A unique game style? Or was it because the devs added a wooden crate to the thumbnail that has bad wood grain?

Theme Park HeideLand

Leave a reply

Hello there theme park lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here to take a look at Theme Park HeideLand by Passigames. It is one of the most popular of the current generation of theme park builds that exist on Roblox. Now this review is going to be different from most of my other reviews because as I was scoping out the game and taking a note of every example of bad wood grain I found I came to the startling conclusion that I was quickly approaching 60 images and realized I did not feel like creating another 5,000 word long word wall about a game without anyway to make it cohesive. So instead I am going to treat this like a Roblox event review and just make each ride a pass or fail on if it has proper wood grain or not. Will it be a bit odd? Maybe. Will it also save my fingers? Yes, and ultimately that is all I care about today.

Anyway, this is the map of Heideland, and I will do my best to review these rides in order because I can’t think of a better way to do it.

Another Digging Game-Mines

1 Reply

Hello there children who yearn for the mines, WoodReviewer here with yet another game that revolves around mining, this time called simply Mines by Gold Rush Games. As child who was grounded as a child for digging a 3 foot deep hole in their backyard I do see the appeal of these games, however as I’ve grown I now know that there is more to being a good game rather than just digging a hole. Like proper wood grain. And I am here to play Mines and give a proper judgement on if the game has proper wood grain or not and oh the thumbnail shows a pickaxe with bad wood grain on the handle.

On Retro Looking Games

11 Replies

Hello there classic build lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer, and today is going to be a bit of a tangent. You see, lately people have asked me for my thoughts on how studs are implemented in games that are trying to go for a classic/retro feel. For those of you that struggle with words, my name is WOODReviewer. Keyword on the wood part.

I am not StudReviewer. I am not SkyBoxReviewer. I am not MemoryLeakReviewer. I am not Use1024x1024TextureOn1Studx1StudMeshReviewer. I exist to review wood because that is my specialty and if I were to review everything, well, that would be too much to review. However due to the overwhelming demand on this topic I won’t review any game, but I will at least help explain why certain things in the classic Roblox style are done. You see, to understand what the old Roblox style is you must first understand why we used to do things the way we did.

Hello there fellow outdoor hikers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here to take a look at one of the premiere mountain climbing games on Roblox, Broken Bones IV by Zaquille.

Theater Of Shame-Globe Theatre

1 Reply

Hello there classic game lovers of Roblox WoodReviewer here, and recently I’ve noticed people noticing a trend of people noticing that some game devs are noticing that people like old Roblox building styles included into games and as a result they just add studs randomly to their games. Inspired by that I’ve decided that today was a good day to go visit my good friends at the Elite Builders of Robloxia and see how some of their classic games hold up. Today’s unlucky victim of my wrath is xiayurei and their showcase Globe Theatre, a recreation of the modern day recreation of Shakespeare’s original Globe Theatre. Although the Globe Theatre isn’t a super old game, dating to 2013 rather than the 2009 era that most of the current nostalgia merchants are aiming for. So, is the wood grain from older Roblox actually better than from modern Roblox?
