    Button City
    Cute, but that’s about it
    Button city is a super colorful cute game where you play as an adorable fox, going around this little town, initially just making friends, joining their squad to take down the other teams at the arcade in this team based game where you collect fruit, and throw it in a blender in the middle, stop your opponents and grab as much as you can before time    Button City

    Button city is a super colorful cute game where you play as an adorable fox, going around this little town, initially just making friends, joining their squad to take down the other teams at the arcade in this team based game where you collect fruit, and throw it in a blender in the middle, stop your opponents and grab as much as you can before time runs out, you can even complete tasks and buy more of these characters, but eventually youll be coming up with a plan to save the arcade with the rest of the kids in town, this is a very fetch questy game, you need to go to this part of town and get this item, so oyu simply pull out of the map, scroll up or down to where you need to go, and instantly youre there.. I love this aspect, stopping what would normally feel like annoying backtracking.. however ater a couple of hours, the charm just weas off, cute doesn’t cut it anymore, the lack of any substance within this world really tugs on you, and it just brought down my overall initial joy, getting through button city started to feel like a chore rather than a charming nostalgic weekend it initially was…
    That being said, this is still cute game where there are plenty who wil get enjoyment out of what is basically just a quick and cute adventure game.. but for me, once the chore feeling kicked in, the game never pulled me back.
    I give Button City

    There’s a definite appeal in its cozy atmosphere and oddball characters, and the story about a community banding together to save what’s important to them is a heartfelt one. The minigames are a lot of fun, and what they lack in the precision you’d expect of a full-fledged arcade game, they make up for in sheer charm. But it’s also a game that leans a little too heavily into the quirky style of the “wholesome game” meme at the expense of substance and depth.

    A good game for kids, sure, but adults will get even more out of it. Doesn’t quite meet 7 its potential, but this is a funny and clever little tale nonetheless. [Issue#5, p.91]

    Button City is one of those games that I really wanted to love but ended up displeased by its clunky setup and subpar mini-games. There is still a good time to be had in its cute world, though, especially if you don't mind taking the bad with the good.
