Gear Friday Overview: Clan Week

Image courtesy of ROBLOX

Hello! Pbjms here with a new type of article, Gear Friday Overviews. Most Fridays, ROBLOX releases four gears in the afternoon, some possibly limited. I'm going to start writing these weekly (most likely every Saturday if I can), so don't expect much hat reviews from me unless the gears are awful. This Friday, ROBLOX released two limiteds and two nonlimiteds; Overseer's Axe, Knights of the Splintered Sky: Wind Summoning Horn, Korblox Mage Staff, and Knights of Redcliff: Deluxe Sword and Shield.

Overseer's Axe

Mesh: The axe looks nice, a long handel with a large blade. Of course, being an Overseer's Axe, it needs to have all of the eyes on it, so that's added to the mesh too. All in all, it looks great, and deserves a 10/10.

--------------------------

Texture: The texture really adds to the look of the axe. It is colored black with a stoney texture, with of course, the large green colored Overseer eyes. Green outlines on parts of it also add nicely to the overall Overseer theme, earning itself a 9/10. 

--------------------------

Price: Overseer's Axe was made as a limited U item at 550 Robux with 1000 in stock. It's price is nice, but  it's stock, like most limiteds these days, is too much. It's stock should have been a lot lower, but it's still making profit - selling at about 1,300 Robux at the time of review. It was a bit overstocked at first, but is making a nice profit, earning itself a 9/10.

--------------------------

Ability: This axe is very powerful - dealing 25 hit points of damage each swing to your foe. Afterwards, an orb will also assist you in battle, it flies around your foe shooting lasers for 5 seconds, dealing a nice amount of damage, possibly earning you an extra KO. 10/10 for sure.

--------------------------

Overall: 9/10

Knights of the Splintered Sky: Wind Summoning Horn

Mesh: The mesh looks great. It's a horn with wings, pretty much. on the horn is an end part with a ring around it, most likely where the sound comes out. This really looks like a nice horn, and has wings to add to the Splintered Skies look. 9/10 for sure.

--------------------------

Texture: The texture is also very nice. The horn itself is blue with cyan symbols, and the rings and wings have a silvery look to them. The wings could have been more fluffy-looking, but besides that, the texture is nice, earning a 8.5/10.

--------------------------

Price: This horn was made as a Limited U, priced at 1,000 Robux with 750 in stock.The stock is a bit better than the Overseer's Axe, but this price is way too much, as the ability isn't anything special. Surprisingly, it actually rose to make barely any profit, currently selling for around 1,500 Robux, sadly earning an 8/10.

--------------------------

Ability: The ability is really nothing special, preforming pretty much the same thing as the Tornado Summoner, minus the cool looking tornadoes. When you blow into the horn, multiple tornadoes (which are pretty much large transparent columns) spawn in front of you, slowly moving forward. The "tornadoes" don't do any damage - they just fling things around and break welds, which will end up making your enemies character fall apart and die (but not your own). It's really poorly made, and deserves more for its great looks - sadly I can only give this a 7/10.

--------------------------

Overall: 8/10

Korblox Mage Staff

Mesh: Like most Korblox items, this mesh is amazing. It's a staff made of bones, pretty much. There is also a crystal in the middle of the top part, most likely the source of the flames and magic. It looks great, probably the best looking gear of the night - 10/10 for sure.

--------------------------

Texture: The texture just makes the mesh even better. It is a mostly black staff, with cyan writing on it, possibly magical spells in the korblox language. There is a silver grip to hold the top part together, along with cyan fire coming out of the crystal at the top. It looks great, earning a 10/10.

--------------------------

Price: It is priced at 1,000 Robux, a bit too much but not bad for it's great texture, mesh, and ability. It was published as a nonlimited item, and has about 130 sales at the time of writing this. I'm giving it an 8.5/10 for being a bit too overpriced.

--------------------------

Ability: On click, your character does some summoning animation. it summons a long row of staffs in front of you that will soon explode into fire, killing your foes instantly. 10/10 for sure.

--------------------------

Overall: 9.5/10

Knights of Redcliff: Deluxe Sword and Shield

Mesh: The mesh looks great, a normal sword with the redcliff symbol on the handle. The great part about this sword is the shield, which is pretty much a large redcliff symbol on a shield, 10/10.

--------------------------

Texture: The sword and shield is really nicely textured, the sword is shiny, and the redcliff symbol on it looks nice with the shadows. The shield also looks great, with lots of texture. Defiantly worthy of a 9/10 .

--------------------------

Price: The sword is, sadly overpriced - 1,000 Robux. It should be much lower, as there are already tons of gears with this same ability. It should probably be about 500 - 700 Robux. Giving the price a 8/10.

--------------------------

Ability: The ability of this sword is amazing. To start, you just have a normal sword and shield combo, with the shield doing nothing and you just normally swinging the sword. When you hold down Q, you hold out the shield for extra defense, though you can't attack. When you double click, you start charging up for a special attack. Your sword and shield shines rainbow colors, and you get a boost of walkspeed - charging around swinging the sword quickly, most likely killing any foe in your path. One downfall is that you can't move while charging, and another is that there are already multiple gears exactly like this - bringing the score down to 8/10.

--------------------------

Overall: 9/10

Overall:

--------------------------

Best Gear - Korblox Mage Staff

--------------------------

Most Profit - Overseer's Axe

--------------------------

Most Power - Knights of Redcliff: Deluxe Sword and Shield Set

--------------------------

Overall Rating - 9/10

Worth It or Forget It?: Blackvalk

Worth It or Forget It?

Blackvalk

          Hello readers! Chubbs21 here with a new type of article! Today I will be doing something I call Worth It or Forget It, a type of article where I look at all the pros and cons of a catalog item and rate it as "Worth It" or "Forget It"!

Pros:

          The looks on this hat are pretty cool. It's similar to the original valk just different colors. The colors are black and orange and it looks like a Halloween valk. This hat could go really good with many different hats, and even looks good just by itself. This hat is very classic looking and I like that they didn't make a new mesh. It's perfect for lots of costumes and is overall, a great hat.

Cons:

          The cost of this hat is rather unfortunate if you we're planning to buy this. It is selling for a whopping 1,000,000Tx! Only 34 people have purchased this hat as of 7/8/13. It it worth the money? Will this hat even go limited? No one really knows. I honestly don't see why it's so demanding. Another con is the texture. The original valk had just 3 colors and so does this, but I think it could of had a better texture.

Worth It or Forget It?:

          It honestly depends how much you have. If you have tons more than 1MTx, or 100KR$, to spend, go for it. If you are selling all your stuff or have just enough for it, don't get it. It isn't worth it that much. Overall, I think this hat is a Forget It. It is beyond overpriced and the cons just overrule the pros in this one. Thanks for reading.

Asimo has already shown how amazing of a builder he is with his projects such as Wind, RoadRunner Canyon and The Classic Long Obby - which has gained over 3 million visits. As a member of the Elite Builders Of ROBLOX his games are always high quality and showcase great detail. 

With this project Asimo has created a road which has an amazing view of well scripted water which reaches shore and has a realistic tide with islands and boats in view. However your vision of these objects is obscured by the simple yet effective use of fog. Did I mention the rain script which is used? Oh yes, there is a smooth rain script which allows the place to look amazing and simply beautiful, there is also a rain sound for when it hits the ground.

Gear Review: Linked Sword

Linked Sword

It's been 3 years since the first limited SFOTH IV sword was released, and the final one is here at last: the Linked Sword. Easily the most anticipated SFOTH IV sword on roblox.

Mesh: 10/10

The mesh is the same as every other SFOTH IV sword, the classic sword mesh. There isn't much to say about it, but despite its simplicity it looks awesome.

Texture: 10/10

The classic Linked Sword texture, obviously. The bottom of the sword is coated in gold, and the rest of the handle is some sort of metal. The middle of the sword is gold as well, and the tip of the sword is a shiny silver metal. Iron, probably, judging from the gear's description. Simple, but an epic classic.

Price & Stock: 8/10

The Linked Sword's original price was 47,324 robux, SFOTH IV's place ID number, and its stock is 100, same as every other SFOTH IV sword. Despite being a SFOTH IV sword and the most-wanted one from roblox investors, it took quite a long time to sell out. I assume this is because nobody was expecting it and because it was such a high price. Lots of valuable limited items such as The Classic ROBLOX Fedora, Clockwork's Shades, and The Void Star went up for very low prices from people desperate for an extra boost for the Linked Sword. Despite its long selling time, the Linked Sword is currently selling for 98,000 robux and is worth even more.

Overall 9/10

Unfortunately this is the end of the SFOTH IV sword series, but maybe ROBLOX will unveil an awesome new series of limited gear some time soon.

Also, my computer has some sort of virus and is running on Safe Mode, so unfortunately I wasn't able to test the Linked Sword and review it for its abilities. But for investors and SFOTH IV fans, this is a great sword and definitely worth its price. Like all SFOTH IV swords, it will raise in the future.

Shark Week Hat Reviews

(Apologies to Pbjms for not getting this out sooner ~IBarrageI)

Hello! Pbjms back with another review. This week, I'll be reviewing the three hats bumped to the front of the catalog for Discovery Channel's Shark Week! The three hats I mentioned are Shark Knit, Defeated Shark, and Shark Tooth Necklace.

Shark Knit: 10/10

"This shark, swallow you whole."

Mesh: 10/10 - The mesh is really nice. It has the normal Knit hat look to it, but has some extra details to make it really look like a shark (eyes, teeth, and fins).

Texture: 10/10 - The texture looks great, the shark itself is grey to represent a real shark, while the eyes are black buttons. The fins have nice shadows along them, along with the main shark body. The teeth are the only texture-less parts of the hat, but they're teeth, and look nice being plain and white.

Price: 10/10 - The knit is priced at the cheap price of 15 Robux, cheap, but it could be cheaper. Lately, the admins have been ruining the second currency, Tix. Less Tix hats have been published, and TONS of Tix hats have been going off sale. But to get to the point, the price is really great for the look of the knit hat. 

Defeated Shark: 7/10

 

"When you're a pirate, every week is shark week. This week the shark lost."

Mesh: 9/10 - The mesh looks okay. It resembles a shark head removed from the shark itself, hence the name, defeated shark. There is a fin on the top of the shark, and teeth with gums towards the bottom.

Texture: 7/10 - The texture is too plain. It's just plain grey with a random white above the pink gums and teeth. The only part of this hat with any texture is the teeth, the rest is just too plain and bad. 

Price: 6/10 - The shark is priced at 500 Robux, WAY too expensive for a hat so ugly.

Shark Tooth Necklace: 8/10

"Let everybody know just how tough you are with this shark tooth necklace."

Mesh: 9/10 - The mesh is very simple. A small chain to fit around your neck, with a shark tooth shape towards the front. The downfall is that it's very small on your ROBLOXian.

Texture: 7/10 - The texture really isn't that great. The chain is dark brown, and the color of the tooth doesn't even look like a tooth. It looks brown and rusty, unlike the teeth in the other shark week hats.

Price: 8/10 - The necklace, like a lot of hats, is overpriced. It is 250 Robux, which, for a hat with this mesh and texture, is not worth it.

Overall: 8/10

Although no new hats were made, the Shark Week items that were bumped are okay. The Shark Knit, being the best, is also the cheapest, while the Defeated Shark is the most expensive, and the worst. Really goes to show how price and appearance can mix for the overall rating of a hat.

Strategizing: Roblox Battle Part 3: The Rocket Launcher

Decisive tool of destruction or the poor man's personal cannon? That is the question we will be asking here in part 3 of our ROBLOX Battle guide, this time covering the widely used classic, the rocket launcher.

As always, we're going to first break the weapon down to it's bare mechanics. The rocket launcher of old was a simple gray bazooka shaped mesh that shot blue 2-3 stud slow traveling missiles that also made a "whooosh" sound as it traveled, getting closer and closer to it's impact point until it eventually blew up on a surface, or an unlucky robloxian, blowing them to smithereens. While the ROBLOX Battle rocket launcher, is more detailed, and features kind of a nerf compared to the classic rocket launcher. It features a kind of slow reload, and does only 75 damage, leaving your victim with 25 health left to regroup instead of turning them into plastic bits.

Although more interesting, you can er, "rocket jump" with the weapon if you're able to aim your cursor at your feet which will send you into the air, but in a more pitiful way compared to the rocket jump of the TF2 Soldier, but if you somehow are able to successfully do this you'll have about 25 health left and with not many uses for this thanks to the map design, it's best to avoid rocket jumping with the rocket launcher unless you really want to.

So why is this weapon so low on the list, since we have 3 more to go? Well, it's hard to explain but this order is my personal picks of weakest to the most powerful weapons so you don't exactly have to follow my opinions, but back on topic. The rocket launcher lacks a little less punch than it's ye olde counterpart, but it makes up for it with it's easy use and reload animation to tell you when you actually have a rocket loaded. Most of the actual power comes from old brickbattle tactics though. Someone chasing you with a sword? Rocket launcher from behind, blow them up. Enemy on a lower elevation? Jump down and launch your projectile of explosive property.

And something else to note, backblast will not kill you due to explosion radius being tweaked to be a bit smaller than normal. I found this out the hard way by chasing someone with the sword and them deciding to pull out the rocket launcher and blow me up. Yay.

To conclude, the rocket launcher is a bit underwhelming thanks to the reduced damage, but you can easily make up for that by tricking your enemies into thinking you actually have something like a sword. Rocket jumping is pretty much useless as I see for now, since losing 75 health for a small jump boost is a bit too much risk for minor reward. Easier use will make this weapon a widely used tool, mastering it can put you on top of the competition quickly as all most people will use is the rocket launcher, or sword. To close, the matchups.

V.S. Slingshot

It all depends on the skill level of the user and your health, if they can blow your rockets up with the slingshot projectiles then you might be at a slight advantage, but if your health is low then it's time to back off so they can't take hits. Full health though? Go ahead.


V.S. Sword

If you actually have experience against foes with swords, it wont take long to dispatch them then, using the backblast on the rocket launcher will kill them if they're able to get close but it's recommended to try this if they have less than full health.




V.S. Bomb

Long range is an easy fight, predicting where they will move will be immensely helpful. Though, most bomb users will attempt to just chuck it at you without bothering to shorten the fuse. Short range may be a problem if "suicide bombing" is a tactic being used thanks to the launcher's reload speed.


V.S Superball

Switching to another weapon is the best option against a superball user, their throws are much faster than your rockets and barely have an actual reload so DPS is a big problem. Elevation though, being higher up easily gives you the advantage since you can just drop them with maybe one rocket and a quick sword swipe, but be sure to keep the deflector handy.

V.S Deflector

This is a losing battle as soon as you know it if the deflector user is competent in their ability, but if they are unable to carry out the actual proper use of the deflector, then an unpredictable firing pattern should help you carry this engagement to victory.



V.S. Rocket Launcher


Elevation, range, and firing pattern is what will determine your outcome. Higher elevation means you can rain rockets down upon them, closer range is a much riskier fight, and firing pattern is another key to the rocket launcher, don't be predictable. Use those, and you just might come out on top.


Apologies for nothing last week, as school has started and I will be a bit less busier. I will attempt to write at least one article per week now, longer lengthed since it'll be only one. We will have to see though. As always, have a nice week.

Place Review- Broken Bones (Destruction Package) - Version 1.7.2

Hello Everybody!

I am Elvinusa a summer intern for RN and intern for PeerPants!

Today I will be doing a Place Review for the Roblox classic Broken Bones! Broken Bones is a game by zamsongod and has been played over 1,800,000 times!

The Objective is to Break as many “Bones” as possible and buy new maps and upgrade with packages! It has been running for just about 3 years now and has been updated just a couple days ago. When arriving into the game the first thing I notice is the amount of Starter Guis the game has. The words take up much of the screen and are unorganized. It’s just a scramble of junk all over the page with different colors that don’t match up. It looks messy (and it’s a major turn off) but his amount of scripting that went to it is amazing!

After the screen guis pop up. You choose a map that you can afford with the amount of points/bones that you have gathered (points save up from last sessions),and spawn in the map. From there you jump off high places and try to break bones and advance maps! The bone counting script gives you bones according to the angle you jump off of, the direction you face and other seemingly complex factors!

However nice the game seems the maps glitch often sending players flying all over the place. Advancing maps is too complicated and many players give up on the game before finishing. After time the game can seem very boring.

Interviews!

Interview #1

goldboy25: Hello

Elvinusa: Hello

Elvinusa: First Question

goldboy25: Alright.

Elvinusa: Do you enjoy playing Broken Bones, and why?

goldboy25: A little, I just recently started to try it out. And it's interesting to me, watching the dynamics of the game such as the great physics in the rag-doll falling part of it.

Elvinusa: Do you think its a game you will visit over and over again?

goldboy25: I'll probably go visit it every now and then, it's a nice place to meet new friends, everyone laughs about their falls.

Elvinusa: What do you like best?

goldboy25: The physics. That stuff interests me, to see what ROBLOX users and creators can make with the physics to make it seem more realistic.

Elvinusa: What is the worst aspect about it?

goldboy25: I don't see anything bad about it.

Elvinusa: What type of games do you play often in roblox?

goldboy25: I'm not much to play games on ROBLOX often, I usually build but when I do, I normally play survival games.

Elvinusa: Okay thank you for your time!

goldboy25: No problem!

Elvinusa: I will send you a URL of the article once it is published

goldboy25: Alright, thanks!

Elvinusa: See you around!

Interview #2

Elvinusa: First Question

Elvinusa: Do you enjoy playing Broken Bones?

Narichi: Sometimes

Elvinusa: On a scale of 1-10 how much do you enjoy it?

Narichi: 6

Elvinusa: What is your favorite aspect on the game?

Narichi: um...when you break your bones

Elvinusa: What is your worst aspect on the game?

Narichi: Well I have many aspects I do not enjoy but it has to be the package cost.

Elvinusa: What type of games do you play in ROBLOX?

Narichi: Probably fighting games!

Elvinusa: Okay thank you for your time!

Narichi: Welcome

Elvinusa: I will send you a URL of the article once it is published

Narichi: Alright, thanks!

Elvinusa: See you around!

Building:3/10

The Maps are easy to build and not too much effort was put into it.

Scripting:10/10

This is probably one of the best-scripted games I have seen on ROBLOX.

Presentation:2/10

The Game is poorly presented with unorganized guis.Unattractive looks,badges.Bad advertising.

Overall 5/10:

Cons: One you play the game the guis embedded on the bricks fling you around often and many players get flinged off into the walls. Badges are not good. It’s too easy to break bones. Every package is too expensive. Maps are uninviting.

Pros: Some of the most advanced scripts and guis can be found here. A fairly nice hangout place for friends! The physics is realistic and true.

Place Review: Girls Hangout! [Boys Welcome]

Hey guys, DDude9091 here. My mentor has assigned me the place "Girls Hangout! [Boys Welcome]". As if the typo in the name wasn't enough. Right when I entered the game, I heard about 5 different songs playing at once. Guys...this one isn't going to be too pleasant.

The current thumbnail of the game.

You spawn on a green baseplate surrounded by free models. Ladies and Gentlemen, on your left you'll find free modeled race track. Please direct your attention now to the area in front of the spawn, where a free modeled morph set can be found. Let's keep it moving and head to the right. Now, once you get past the pink building, you'll see a free modeled pink swimming pool. On the far end of the map? A free modeled playground. Keep it moving, people, we're now going in to the pink building. You'll see about 20 or more free models in here. If you start feeling nauseous from all of the stolen things, just sit down and look at the ground.

Congrats to YewJoeChai for being
the closest to the total!

I decided to put on a little competition to see who could guess the amount of free models and be the closest. YewJoeChai came the closest, with his guess of 47. Ladies and Gentlemen, can I get a drum roll? The total amount of free models is...40! Let's hear it for YewJoeChai!

All funny business put aside, this has to be the most awful game I have ever played. I haven't even covered the tools in your inventory yet. The 7 are all free modeled, and don't even try the Dance tool.

Tool 1: Super Gravity Coil
Jumping with the coil equipped just sends you flying, and unless you actually un-equip it, you'll be sent flying in to space.

Tool 2: Fly
I've got nothing to say about this one besides that its free modeled. I mean, it works, but that's it.

Tool 3: Teleport
Free modeled, plus you can use it to get in to the admin room. All that's in there is a few morphs, anyways.

Tool 4: Backflip
You know, there's nothing like doing free modeled backflips while driving free modeled cars around a free modeled racetrack.

Tool 5: Frontflip
Spam it enough and  your character will break.

Tool 6: Dance
Don't even try to equip this one. It teleports you to a seperate baseplate before you fall to your death. I'm not a scripter, but I don't even know how that's possible that a free model screwed up that bad.

Tool 7: Guitar
All it is? A crappy silver colored guitar that plays a note when you click.

Building: 1/10
The only thing built by the creator was the floor and walls of the pink building

Scripting: 0/10
Scripting? What scripting?

Overall: 0.5/10
I'll finish off my post by saying: Don't. Play. This. I know a lot of people think, "Oh, this game looks so awful! I'll play it to laugh at it!". All that does is earn the owner more money for nothing.

Thanks for reading,

Place Showcase: Island of Imagination

Current Thumbnail of Island of Imagination

Hello everyone, DDude9091 here. Today, I'll be showcasing Island of Imagination (BC), a huge free build game like nothing I have ever seen before. This game takes the concept of free building beyond build sets placed on empty baseplates. From two unique towns to customized and hand-made terrain and the Roblox build tools, this game is unique in its own way. If the looming mountains and vast valleys are enough to take your breath away, the amazing camera manipulation that pans your view around the map displays the island in its entirety.

Every tiny detail was made to show the island at its best, completely made by the creator; no terrain generator used. As shown in the thumbnail, there is a harbor town located at the edge of the map. Far upon the other side you can find a village made high on top of a mountain, towering over the ocean. Between them? The massive island, filled with more land than my computer could handle.

Game Passes:

          Glider:

75 Robux 264 Buys 750 Tix

The glider allows for much easier transportation, rather than walking. To add to it, pressing "Q" drops a bomb.
Worth it?
Not in my opinion. Unless you just want to drop bombs on people, you can just use the stamper tool to place a UFO or other vehicle.

           Survival Pack:

100 Robux 136 Buys 1001 Tix

The Survival Pack gives you a flashlight, compass, speed dagger, and grappling hook to help you explore.
Worth it?
If you're the type of person who loves to explore and discover everything there is to discover, this is for you. Otherwise, keep your robux for a rainy day.

      Stamper Tool Drag:

125 Robux 78 Buys 1,350 Tix

The Stamper Tool Drag Game Pass unlocks the stamper tool's ability to drag parts.
Worth it?
If you love building, and spend a lot of time in this game, I would recommend it. According to Zathara, "Price will raise to 250 ROBUX and 2500 Tix when this hits 100 sales," so if you want to get it, now's the time.

Tools:

1. Stamper Tool:
The stamper tool is limited. Only with the game pass can you unlock its dragging ability.

2. Delete Tool:
I'm not sure how anything prevents people from ruining the amazing landscape with the delete tool, so this should be looked in to.

3. Clone Tool:
Your average, every day clone tool. Nothing special, allows you to clone any brick in the game.

4. Rotate Tool:
As with the delete and clone tool, I was surprised that you were able to use it on the terrain. The creator should have locked it so that people can't mess with the things that he created.

5. Wiring Tool:
Same old wiring tool. Select it and click any part that can be wired (such as a lever) and then another part that can be wired (such as a door), and they are linked. Say you used the lever and the door. When you clicked the lever, the door would open.

6. Classic Tool:
After selecting this tool, five more tools will appear on your screen. One allows you to paint blocks different colors; the second lets you change the brick's material; the third gives you the ability to change the surface of the block (smooth, studs, weld, etc.); the fourth, a simple drag tool; the fifth a tool that is used to re-size bricks.



GUIs:

Mute Music: Mutes the in game music.

Reset: Quite self-explanatory. Kills your character, and you respawn.

Walk: Returns your character to a normal walkspeed, 16.

Run: Speeds up your character.

The GUIs are well-made and well-scripted. They aren't fancy, but they get the job done. The only minus is that, whenever the game cleans up the world, removing hats and whatnot, a message is just thrown right in the middle of your screen saying so. It gets quite annoying after a while.



Game Play:
Now that I've got all that out of the way, let's get back to the game, shall we? You spawn in one of several places; on top of a mountain, down in a valley, in the harbor village, etc. From here, you have endless choices. You can go explore the amazing terrain, build yourself a house on top of the highest mountain, or make a town with friends. You can ride around in a fancy UFO, or drive a truck down a cliff. The only limit to this game is yourself, really. If you think there is nothing left to do, think harder. Have you dug deep in to the earth to find what lays beneath? Have you built an upside down town under the overhang of a cliff? With the stamper tool to answer to your every need, and the island to provide amazing landscapes for whatever need you have, or purpose you serve, you can do whatever you like. The possibilities are endless. All free build games I have ever seen before this dull in comparison. This one outdoes them all by a mile.

Summary:
With its combination of mind blowing landscapes, tools that allow you to build whatever you can think of, flawless GUIs, and helpful Game Passes to top it off, Island of Imagination deserves more attention than it currently has. This deserves to be front page much more than some of its current competitors. Just looking at the front page of games now, I see plenty of fakes and frauds that don't deserve their fame. The only flaws I can think of? The clean up GUI that shows up in front of your face every five or so minutes, and the lag I get that messes up the music. Another minus is the shop GUI that loads and covers your whole screen the second you join/respawn. The breath taking building and the scripts make up for that entirely, though. I'll finish my showcase here. I highly suggest that you give this game a try; it will be worth it, trust me.
