Just started. I'm playing the VR version on the Quest. So far, it's really cool and full of great touches, like using a PalmPilot in your hand for the options screen.

Booted this up on Gamepass yesterday thinking it was just a room of arcade games to play and I'm not sure I'm more/less happy with what it actually is - an arcade manager with a cute story with unique arcade games.

I'm a sucker for to-do lists in games, so it was hard to know whether I was engaged or just ticking off my todo lists, internal game achievements, or actual platform achievements.
I do find the arcade games a bit hit or miss. Blockchain is far and away my favorite, with a unique puzzle mechanic, and while I don't love their version of pac-man - it is very novel in it's approach to on-foot pursuit.
I'll probably stop engaging with the laundry part of the game soon as it was not fun to be alerted to laundry issues while playing an arcade game. Hopefulyl I unlock a freeplay mode soon.

been enjoying this. the first bit is a grind and slog and really 'effin 'pokey' as in 'poke this poke that', collect bacon' and its a bit funny how the game kinda leans towards the idea that you run a bunch of washing machines and go distract yourself for a few minutes with a game and have to rush back …

I Think Space Race Simulation is maybe one of the better Outrun/Hang On type games i've played... you can actually corner and do nitro!

Read moreLow key considering just posting more of my random gaming takes here with Twitter, you know, doing what it's doing. Anyone here jam on Arcade Paradise? I picked it up on a whim a few months back and I'm shocked at how consistently I've played it since. Really like what it's doing on a conceptual level to get across its points about turning your hobby into work. I appreciate when a game kind of alienates you rather than just trying to entertain you. But I appreciate that that's balanced too by the fact that the actual arcade games they created for this are... really really good? Lots of very simple, addictive concepts. It's pretty rad to just have a big collection of modern-retro arcade games housed within this high-concept management sim. Impressed with it all around, even if it's intentionally testing my patience!

I really should stop following ShopTo on Twitter. The number of titles I've discovered following the page, which I'll likely not own for a few years.
Oh well, another one for the wishlist!
