- Arcade Paradise—a mashup business sim / retro arcade throwback—is one of those indie gems you look forward to telling other people about.
Bill Stiteler · Sep 26, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Arcade Paradise is a fantastic management sim for those who love the genre. It may be asking a lot of players to prioritize other people’s laundry over games upfront, but the payoff is a literal heaven for those who have always wished to build their own arcade and play every game within it for free.
Heather Johnson Yu · Aug 29, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Arcade Paradise has a lot to offer and if you put in the work, you’ll get many hours of fun gameplay to enjoy. This game is the perfect choice for those looking to build their own impressive arcade, as well as those wanting to spend a lot of time playing arcade games.
MC_JP · Aug 28, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Arcade Paradise lives up to its name by essentially being a modern plug-n-play TV compilation (remember those?) wrapped in a competent and rewarding business sim dressed up in the most garish of 90s fashion, complete with dial-up internet, Solitaire on the PC, and more turquoise tracksuits than I’d ever like to see. The collection of games on offer is massive, and the earn-buy-earn loop works well at keeping the game from becoming too stale too soon.
Chris Harding · Aug 18, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Arcade Paradise takes you back in time to experience the thrilling life of owning a laundromat AND an arcade! In this simulation/management game, you’ll pass the time by doing some laundry here and there as well as playing your cabinets to promote the games. While the management side is light the variety of retro games you can actually play makes up for it. Gamers with an eye for old school videogames should give Arcade Paradise a try.
Corey Lyle · Aug 16, 2022 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - The laundromat part of the game won't suit everyone, but in our opinion it's actually pretty darn engrossing, while building and managing your arcade is consistently enjoyable and the machines themselves are packed with a surprising level of depth.
Fraser Gilbert · Aug 13, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|S, XB1Read full review - Arcade Paradise is something rather special. Its mixture of playful management sim and arcade gaming works incredibly well, and it’s all so nicely presented that you’ll easily forgive its few flaws.
Kim Snaith · Aug 11, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - We wholly recommend Arcade Paradise if you enjoy either simulation-style games or spent the '90s with a pocketful of quarters down at the local arcade. The narrative centred on a lazy young adult proving to their father they can run a successful business will never really grip you, and – believe it or not – laundering clothes and peeling gum off the machines becomes a bit tiresome.
Lowell Bell · Aug 11, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Arcade Paradise is utterly essential. The title’s tongue-in-cheek tycoon gameplay and simulator window dressing serve as the backdrop for dozens upon dozens of video game parodies, spanning a GTA-style Pac-Man clone through to an OutRun-inspired futuristic racer.
Sammy Barker · Aug 11, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Arcade Paradise is a delightful surprise. Full of wit, heart, and damned fun minigames it’s worth a purchase if the thought of an idle-style laundromat management sim full of fun as hell arcade games sounds enticing. It’s a relaxed, radical tubular time and I can’t wait to see what the devs come up with next.
