How's Meta's Horizon Worlds going? by Rafiki 08/17/2022, 10:06pm PDT
Let's check the reviews:


Everyone will agree to this…
Everything about Horizon World is amazing… and I’m being very honest when I say this and Almost every adult will agree with me when I say this: minors shouldn’t be allowed in worlds made for adults

As a warning for anyone
They should be presented with an age identifier the moment they set foot into worlds.

Using Facebook data, or profile intake etc.

If a minor is caught lying about their age, after many warnings they need to be handled immediately. Same when it comes to minors using profanity or racial slurs.

I’ve had too many minors in worlds that are meant for adults and harassing players

Please fix the worlds for adult only worlds or at least have a warning label


Another case scenario I was noticing is that 24Matthew is one of the top VIPs in the Party house. Matthew is definitely under age and I had brought this up to the person that manages the Instagram page. There are two things that are wrong with this; 1) Matthew should not be a VIP for one, because he is rude and obnoxious, 2) and being that he is under age he most definitely should not be on the list as a VIP!


I like playing the games and exploring the worlds, but the amount of kids 6 to 13 that are cussing, calling people the N word, calling girls and women the B word and just trolling other people is overwhelming . It makes the gaming experience bad and usually cut short. They are very disrespectful


Just another social app with a bunch of disrespectful little kids going around cursing and kicking people out of games for no reason. I rather have an age limit filter with people who are mature enough to handle a conversation without being immature. It's a waste of space on my headset please allow age filters would not recommend this app at this point. It's useless. Uninstalled....


There should be worlds that are only for ADULTS, there are always way to many kids in these worlds and they ruin the Mature fun between the adults in the worlds. They do not do a good job of monitoring the underaged. Please find a better way to just block kids from entering worlds with adults 18+ or even 21+


I have become quite fond of Horizon Worlds and love playing Arena Clash! However, with that being said I as a grown woman do not appreciate being called dummy repeatedly by a child that sounds 5! I also was harrassed by someone while playing another game of air hockey in Questys where he obscenely asked if he could put his hand up my rear when we got done playing. Another person just randomly walked up to my avatar and called me ugly and asked if I really look like that because if I do I am ugly and then asked me to s*ck his *blank* from the back...I hadn't said anything to that fool. I will continue to play the games but please weed out the kids and crazies. I am sure people are complaining about the same people constantly!


The atmosphere and people are truly fantastic but the kids and the abuse that those give you is simply not acceptable. The kids swear at you, vote to remove you, use racial slurs, harress you and just ruin this totally amazing experience. I honest thought meta, Facebook would have done something about this by now.


I would give 5 stars but moderators has too much power, i was playing a shooting game then i killed a moderator then 5 minutes later after i killed him it kicked me out of the game and it said on my email i was banned for a week



Stay with this one...

Not only did Facebook ban me for no reason from playing this game-- (which is fine, this application is despicable apesh*t), they banned me from my OWN HEADSET. Seriously. I couldn't play my OWN GAMES I bought with my OWN DOLLARS on my OWN HEADSET because one of my (I promise you within the realm of normal human decency) jokes didn't land well with one of facebook's "community moderators" (AKA George Orwell's 1984 policemen)... at a comedy club. A COMEDY CLUB.

So from now on I an deleting this sh*tty app because

1) Unbeknownst to me, Facebook's Orwellian moderation and censorship has leaked into the "metaverse" and I don't support the creation of a dystopian h*llscape in which individual speech and freedom is decided by ONE person or coorporation,

2) I am no longer risking the threat of losing functionality of my OWN DEVICE that I bought with my OWN MONEY that I used to purchase my OWN GAMES for the sake of a facebook "moderator" who has hurt feelings (I'm getting deja vu thinking of reddit),

3) What device, if any, has EVER decided you can't use your OTHER games when you make a violation on ONE of them? Not only that, my internet connection stopped working. Essentially for ONE JOKE, (that trust me, wasn't that bad-- I was going around acting like a baby and saying "milk?" to fat guys in a high pitched voice) Facebook turned MY headset that I bought with MY MONEY into a vegetable.


I was playing horizons and this moderator starts to cuss at me for no reason at all, then proceeds bann me for two hours, so I think that guy just had a bad day so I just waited out the bann, then I get back on and the same guy cusses me out and calls me a N*GGA so I’m about to flip at this guy so I say THATS RACIST and the he banns me for another two hours!!!!!!!!! I REALLY DONT RECOMMEND THIS GAME


My friend was asking a person if they wanted a burger in the wendyverse and he got banned. I literally have no explanation for this. Other people have been banned for stupid reasons too. Really needs to work on that. But other than that, good place to play and make games.


At first it was pretty cool and chill, but then a few people randomly start to vote to kick people. My fiancé and I mute our mics because we're literally standing next to each other and don't want feedback going through the mics. And because we're muted, we automatically are assumed to be the ones randomly trying to kick people, and most of the room just turned on us. Thankfully there was one main guy that got everyone off our backs, but it was ridiculous for our first time. Can the developers (Facebook -.-) please try and get it under control with this crap?



Unsupervised children! Internet hostility! Arbitrary bans! Corrupt mods! Social collapse inspiring lynch mobs! There's a 192 pages of this.


Another scenario that I ran into was when I visited the Party House. When I went to the beer pong area there was a group of people, so I stayed there for a bit to hang out and play a few rounds. I noticed that there was some alcohol drinks there so I handed one to someone who I believed was an adult. As I handed them the alcohol, they started talking and I soon realized that they were under age and took it back from them. I felt so awful that I had given a child, even if it was virtually, something that they shouldn’t have been exposed to!


I love the idea of slapping virtual alcohol out of a child's avatar's hand. "GOODNESS GRACIOUS, if I were responsible for the virtual corruption of a virtual minor well I'd just never forgive myself!"
