Game Machines: Arcade Casino

You are now able to play any machine you want whenever you want, so ignore the reviews saying they wish they could do that. This game is really a mixed bag. The machines and the way they play are pretty good most of the time. There are many gripes that I have with this though. [olist] [*]The camera is not your friend in most cases. Instead of making a static camera or one that only moves when needed, the camera just decides to pan across the machines and zoom in and out at will. [*]The stacker machine is broken. If you miss one block of one stack, you're going to fail because the next stack will come in with the same amount of blocks and missing one block on 2 stacks in a row makes you fail, but it's impossible to hit the entire next stack because it doesn't subtract the block you missed before. [*]There is no settings or options menu, meaning you can't adjust anything, including the very annoying and repetitive music. [*]This game is now seemingly abandoned, with 3 of the machines still in "alpha stages" and 2 more missing from the roster. [/olist] I'd pass on this and just get [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/598980/The_Coin_Game/]The Coin Game[/url] instead of you want a virtual arcade.

This game takes me back to being a little kid visiting the Atlantic City boardwalk. At the time they had "casinos" like these with fun games to play for tickets or tokens that could be cashed in for prizes. It probably cost my parents a small fortune to win items that would be dollar store quality today, but I loved the experience. So step off the boardwalk into a tiny casino arcade. The coin pusher was my absolute favorite, and realistic to what I remember. I really like the overall feel and physics of that one. It feels the most authentic. Things like the stacker machine would have been after my time, but that was also realistic, at least compared to the ones I've played in VR. There's also a claw machine which drops toys just like the real thing. Table football (soccer to us Americans), a bulldozer that was pretty challenging and a slam a winner. Might I suggest adding a slot machine in one of the two empty spaces? You could even expand and add another row. Hint, hint. I did notice it was a little sticky/buggy in places. Like on the bulldozer, to get the hand to switch to hit the button wasn't as easy as it should have been. And the camera kept zooming in and out on the claw machine. But overall, with a little TLC and perhaps the last two slots filled so the game looks finished this is a wonderful title for arcade fans. To the devs: please keep going! You've got an awesome start here. Surely you'd like to fill the last two slots.
