Cube World

Cube World is all about roaming, looting, and wandering into places that are meant to feel larger than the blocky art suggests. By our assessment, it is a voxel adventure game for people who enjoy exploration more than direction, and that focus is its best quality. The world idea is easy to grasp, the movement has a light toy-like feel, and the appeal comes from picking a path and seeing what turns up next. The trade-off is that the loop can feel thin once the novelty of the terrain wears off, because there is not much narrative weight or strong structure holding it together. It sits closer to a loose sandbox than to a crafted role-playing game, and that matters a lot. Cube World makes sense for players who like to poke around and make their own fun; anyone wanting a tightly guided quest line will likely feel underfed.
