    Despite the latter half of this review being mostly criticism, Arcade Paradise, at its core, is a very good management game, with tons of very well-parodied arcade games to play. The mix of genres works incredibly well. I really wish there was a version of Capcom Arcade Stadium in this style. Or an NES Remix. Arcade Paradise’s inauthentic aesthetic, and lack of polish bring it down. But anyone intrigued by the game’s premise should give it a try.

    Super fun simulator game that is a bunch of games in a game. What I'm really digging right now is how much story is in the game and how wellSuper fun simulator game that is a bunch of games in a game. What I'm really digging right now is how much story is in the game and how well written and voice acted it is. Most simulator games follow the tired story beat of you get left a business that's on the verge of bankruptcy and you have to turn it around. This isn't really any different but you get left a launderette that you turn into an arcade against your fathers wishes and later without his knowledge. It's cool to play a simulator game where the story can actually affect gameplay.

    The game play is neat as well as every cabinet (game) is playable and some are multiplayer. It really gives a sense the arcade is real. This is also where one of my complaints come in, as you start to make money off the games, you really earn a lot very quickly. So much that there really doesn't feel like there is a lot of challenge upgrading you arcade.

    Graphics are great if you like that old school 8-bit vibe.

    Game is super cheap at $20 bucks US and is an absolute steal for that price.

    If it looks like something you would be into then give it a try as you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    I just wanted to play the Kung Fury game in it. I can't without faffing about with running a laundromat, which is not what I wanted.

    And as Sony won't refund downloaded games.... buyer beware.    … Expand
