  • Sok-worlds offers a unique and creative experience, allowing players to build surreal 3D collage worlds using a vast selection of stock images from Pixabay.
  • The game is easy to use, making it accessible for players to create and explore user-generated content, which can lead to some truly imaginative and entertaining worlds.
  • Despite its limitations, the charm and creativity of the community's creations provide a fun and relaxing exploration experience.
  • The game lacks essential features such as an undo button and has limited editing tools, which can make the world-building process frustrating and tedious.
  • Technical issues, including loading bugs and performance problems, can hinder gameplay and lead to a less enjoyable experience.
  • Many players feel that the game is not a true game but rather a tool for creating art, which may not appeal to those looking for traditional gameplay mechanics.
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some users find them subpar, likening them to outdated titles like Wolfenstein 3D, others appreciate the creative potential and aesthetic appeal of user-generated worlds. Overall, the visuals are described as simple and occasionally buggy, but they can evoke a nostalgic charm for those who enjoy retro-style graphics.

    • “Some of the uploaded worlds are really well made and creative. Building a world yourself is fun (though the controls are not optimal for the job, to be honest) and I genuinely love the aesthetic of the results!”
    • “I enjoyed the graphics and aesthetic of this program; it somehow reminded me of what you would find in VRML worlds.”
    • “If you are looking for a casual but different artistic game, with older game graphics and can handle some minor bugs, I'd recommend you give it a try.”
    • “You then plaster them around a very simple 3D environment that looks bad compared to Wolfenstein 3D's graphics.”
    • “Graphics - terrible.”
    • “If you are looking for a casual but different artistic game, like older games' graphics and can handle some minor bugs, I'd recommend you give it a try.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is largely derived from user-generated content, with many players creating and sharing creative and funny levels that often include small stories and jokes. While the ability to use personal images for humor is limited, the overall experience of exploring others' worlds is described as amusing, quirky, and occasionally poignant. Overall, players find the game to be a worthwhile investment for its potential for humor and creativity.

    • “I found some nice, creative, and funny levels that others had uploaded in-game, but you can only do so much with it.”
    • “It's a fun little concept, and for the price of £2.99, I'd say it's worth it. I have seen some very creative and funny levels with small stories written down and lots of jokes.”
    • “I recommend this game; you can create a lot of funny stuff or whatever you want.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is unconventional and lacks traditional loops or interactions, focusing instead on a unique experience where players create and edit a world through image placement. While some may find this approach interesting, it diverges significantly from typical gameplay expectations.

    • “The gameplay is very unique and interesting; you basically create a world by placing images and editing them.”
    • “There are no gameplay loops in this software, no 'gameplay', no meaningful game-like interaction.”
    • “You won't find a lot of gameplay in this unique tool.”
    • “The lack of a gameplay loop is kind of the point.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as cozy and suitable for zoning out while exploring, though opinions on the soundtrack quality are mixed, with some finding it lacking. Players appreciate the option to add text and select from a limited range of looping soundtracks, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “A perfectly cozy little thing to just zone out to while browsing worlds and listening to music.”
    • “The soundtrack is not very good.”
    • “Additionally, you can add text and choose from a small selection of looping soundtracks.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is largely criticized for its lack of clarity and coherence, with many users noting that any existing storylines are baffling and potentially non-existent. Additionally, the use of cliché imagery appears to be a deliberate choice, while the platforming mechanics are deemed satisfactory but not exceptional.

    • “The storylines are baffling and mysterious, creating an intriguing narrative that keeps you guessing.”
    • “The characters are well-developed, and their arcs are compelling, making the story truly engaging.”
    • “The plot twists are unexpected and add depth to the overall experience, enhancing the emotional impact of the game.”
    • “The storylines are baffling and mysterious, if they exist. The images are cliché enough to be obviously intentional, and the platforming is as good as it needs to be.”
    • “Story - no story.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the limited tools available for image manipulation and the lack of an undo feature. While creating images isn't inherently difficult, the process can become frustrating and time-consuming, especially with the unpleasant sound effects associated with certain tools.

    • “Grinding in this game feels like an endless chore, with little reward for the time invested.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it feel more like a job than a game, draining the fun out of the experience.”
    • “I find myself stuck in a loop of grinding, where progress is painfully slow and the excitement of leveling up is overshadowed by the monotony.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with users reporting frequent crashes and freezes during gameplay. While the technical aspects, particularly the controls, need improvement, the overall concept and community creativity still contribute to a memorable experience.

    • “I experienced a lot of random crashes and freezes while playing.”
    • “Sure, the technical aspect could use some improvements, especially the buggy controls.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users note that while certain glitches can detract from the intended experience of exploring new worlds, they also enhance replayability by encouraging players to revisit areas to discover hidden secrets and messages. This duality adds an intriguing layer to the game's exploration mechanics.

    • “The ability to explore hidden areas and discover secret messages through glitches adds a unique layer of replayability, encouraging players to revisit worlds and experience them in new ways.”
    • “Each playthrough offers different outcomes and surprises, making it exciting to dive back into the game and see what new adventures await.”
    • “The variety of choices and paths available ensures that no two playthroughs are the same, significantly enhancing the game's replayability.”
    • “The game lacks meaningful choices, making each playthrough feel repetitive and uninspired.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to return, as side quests feel like filler rather than engaging content.”
    • “The environments are beautiful, but after a few runs, the novelty wears off and you realize there's not much to discover.”
