The BEAUTY of Hub Worlds 

I personally think that hub worlds is a good idea because you travel around it using the game mechanics to get you to know what you’re doing (if that makes sense lol)

You know a hub world is good when there's a really high point that's tough to reach but has a great view and reward.

I love hubs. It's always nice to have a home base to return to and just chill out in :)

This is really high quality! Also, I think one of the many reasons that hub worlds aren't as common place is partially because big open areas aren't as impressive as they were back when hub worlds were popular.

I miss hub worlds so much. Would take even a mediocre hub world over the lifless open worlds that have infested the gaming industry.

May I present to you, the worst hub world I have ever played in any videogame: Soleana Forest from good ol' Sonic '06. It's by far the biggest of the three hubs in that game and also the most bland. Most of the time you are just holding forward and making your way to the next level or mission, with boring visuals to go with it. Despite what I've said, I am one of the rare Sonic '06 enjoyers you'll find but this just makes me want to pull my hair out.

Banjo Kazooie has an incredibly charming hub world I love it! Been pushing some great content out lately dude! Keep up the grind🤙

I think doggifu just likes chilling and making game worlds feel like home :) I've considered the hub world in Custom Robo: Battle Arena my home since I was a kid, even though it's tiny and full of not much to do except talk to npcs. For me it's the slower pace of it all, the npcs just chilling, and the atmosphere being heavily carried by the soundtrack

oh my god YES watching this was as exciting as watching a whole Nintendo direct, i was bouncing up and down each time you showed a different hub world. Great video, subscribed

I'm with you, man. I enjoy hub worlds a lot. Sure they can have their problems (see Sonic 06 for example), but I find them charming and a nice place to catch your breath after a hard level. Kudos dude!

"fancy menus with some gameplay sprinkled in". I thought you were going to talk about the pleasure of a great menu. We know a good one is actually fantastic.

I too love Hub worlds way too much! I spend so much time in them and love appreciating the aesthetics and good game play inside what is basically a giant menu!

My first hub world was CTTR on the PS2. It's a bit messy and disorganized but still kinda fun.

Love hub worlds. Station square from sonic adventure, the x mansion from X men legends and the fairy kingdom in kameo elements of power are some of my favorites.

Delfino Plaza, Skyloft, gruntilda's lair are my favorite hub worlds.

Spyro's original trilogy always had great hub worlds - especially Ripto's Rage.

So true on Delfino Plaza

MY favorite hub world is in Yooka-Laylee

You are not going to mention Deus Ex: Mankind Devided? Thats ought to be the best hub world I've ever played.

Good video, keep it up you deserve more views

Spyro had the best Hub Worlds ❤️💜

this was interesting

3:08 wait.. that was an callendar? lol

yo , i recommend you a game.. psychonaut 2 is awesome, lot of collecting and fun creative thing.

I feel like everyone is trying to do open world when hubs centralize everything that's strictly necessary without wasting too much of the player's time.

Great video. I been making a game on my 3ds with rpg maker fes and I used a hub world. It's better in my opinion than a open world game not to say I dont like those games I do. Lots of games inspired my game and one of is Super Mario 64. You cant beat hub worlds.

Nah, Banjo-Tooie has one of the best hub worlds.
