What players say
I really like this game, it fun, has a nice story and enjoyed playing it. But it has issues. For one it filled with a lot of small annoying bugs, and some of the side stuff you can do for bonus sorties and lore, get really annoying and harder the more you play. The soundtrack is nice with a few tracks that stick out (like the main theme "arcade paradise"), The graphics are simple, which work for this type of game...
yea it's pretty fun. lots of small games to play and burn time. controls are okay, MKB and controller both are good. sound track solid. good chill retro game. rated.
This game was fun when I got it on Epic Games for free but now I've bought it and came back there are glaring issues that make the game feel cheap and slow. It's a very long slog that is fun for people like me who can be given a mindless task for a few hours and thrive but if you wanna progress it's best not to play the games and do the Cleaning / Laundry, but if you wanna have fun you play the arcade games...
