A notable shift is on the horizon for PC gamers as GGTech Studios prepares to transition their 2024 3D platformer, eWorlds, from a free-to-play model to a paid option. This change will take effect on April 16, marking the end of its complimentary availability, which has been in place since its launch. The developer has made this decision to ensure the longevity of the game’s multiplayer servers, which require ongoing financial support for maintenance.
For the next four days, players can still add eWorlds to their Steam libraries at no cost. Once the transition occurs, the game will be priced at a modest .99. This small fee aims to sustain the necessary infrastructure for online play, allowing fans to continue enjoying both single-player and co-op experiences.
Gameplay and Performance
Players can expect a delightful gaming experience, especially those using the Steam Deck, as eWorlds has received the coveted Steam Deck Verified status. This ensures that the game runs smoothly on Valve’s portable console, providing an engaging platforming adventure on the go.
Currently, eWorlds boasts a “Very Positive” rating on Steam, with 87% of 325 user reviews reflecting favorable opinions. Gamers have drawn comparisons to classics like Super Mario Odyssey, praising its movement mechanics and level design. One user remarked, “I like this game because it’s clearly inspired by Super Mario Odyssey, which is one of my favorite games.” Another player shared their satisfaction after completing the game, stating, “It is a simple and small platformer.”
While the game offers a runtime of a few hours, feedback suggests that the latter half may not resonate as strongly with players as the initial segments. Described as a blend of Super Mario Odyssey and Astro Bot, eWorlds delivers a charming experience typical of indie games, making it a worthwhile addition to any library, especially at the upcoming price point.
For those seeking alternatives, Steam currently features two additional titles available for free, providing a variety of options for gamers looking to explore new adventures.
