    I had forgotten that feeling of joy mixed with curiosity related to the unexpected arrival of a new cabinet in the arcade. Arcade Paradise made me relive this. I really liked a lot of the video games, while others, despite being quite good, simply weren't my cup of tea. But if you love retro/hyper-casual genre you will surely find at least a dozen of games that you will want to keep on playing, no matter if you already completed their quests. The managerial section, despite being an original part of the game, is the least developed feature; this is a video game for players who love more action and less thinking.

    Arcade Paradise is a casual but satisfying management sim soaked in good feeling and ‘90s vibes, but it’s also a story about finding success in what you love in life. Though there are some missed opportunities and the customisation options are limited, the quality of the roster of playable arcade cabinets, the attention to detail, and the striking audiovisual presentation all go to make this one game worth cleaning up your act for.

    Arcade Paradise is practically a matryoshka, because inside a superstructure of managerial inspiration it puts many different experiences, both on the playful and purely artistic front. He does it in a convincing way, also thanks to his ability to know how to wink at long-time players and the many small tributes to the 90s. The problem, however, is that this superstructure becomes almost negligible after a few hours, because it lacks significant novelties and interesting variables. In any case, if you are nostalgic for arcades and want to spend time in a laundry full of virtual worlds, give Arcade Paradise a peaceful chance.

Because it promises a lot in the beginning and gives the player the passion to work. But let's come to our topic, after a while, the game always connects to the same loop, wash the laundry and play arcade for a few minutes. The player is in a rush, I know this is not a problem for such a game, but this cycle can become annoying because it does not offer anything different.… Full Review »

But suddenly, simply to progress very quickly. In less than 3 hours you arrived practically at the end. If you want more, you need to buy the DLC and being honest, as fun as it is, it is not worth the asking price. The game has a super potential for customization and longplay, but it starts with a score of 10 and ends with 3...… Full Review »
