I've been having a great time with Retro Rewind: Video Store Simulator. It really nails that nostalgic feeling of browsing a video rental store, and it's surprisingly relaxing. The gameplay is pretty repetitive, but somehow that's what makes it so addictive. I keep telling myself I'll play one more in-game day, and before I know it, an hour has gone by. It's become one of my favourite games to switch on when I just want to unwind after work. It could definitely use a bit more variety, but the nostalgic and almost cozy atmosphere makes it easy to overlook.
Jogo bem gostosinho de jogar, um dos melhores de simulador que já joguei, top dms
its easy to play and figure out i love that i can change one of the channels to something of my choosing. it does take a lil while to fully level up but as of rn theres only 24 levels. each level unlocks something and you can add-on to your store which is great!(i didn't figure that out until i had a literal maze of a store and a huge pile of movies in the back lol)
good laid back game that brings you back to that good era
Really fun game to play when you are bored, you can easily grind it for hours on end. Haven't ran into any bugs and gameplay is smooth and satisfying.

Needs modding to feel authentic to the era but some good quality mods are available. Would be nice to see them allow adjustable prices and inclusion of an adjustable tax. Quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies were all over the 90s. Nobody actually used the half dollar coin, devs.
I've played the demo the other day and got hooked instantly. Ill paste my edited Demo Review here as well so im not repeating stuff and the new review under it. --- I thought at first it was gonna be one of those silly shop owning ones, but there's actually a lot of effort put into the graphics, game mechanics and customisation options. Its simple but quite addictive. I really like the small extra interactions like turning the open sign on or off, selecting how much change to give, etc... The UI is set out well and the controls are easy to learn. Sidenote: there is jiggle physics. No I was not looking! She walked out the door without paying and I noticed 😭 I like how you can basically customise almost everything: shelving colours and type, including the shelving signs, wall colours and design, floor and roof, and the counter also. Saving the game is pretty quick. --- Im really enjoying the full game, there are a couple things I would like improved or added but not much. Im enjoying the leveling up system and unlocking new genres and the new objects you can buy. Im still loving the customisational options. I've seen a few negative comments about how much you can earn each day etc. I havent had really any issues with it. The money im recieving daily varies between $200 and over $500. Some days theres lots of customers and other days theres only a few. Im finding that that is depending on the day it is and the time of day. I actually don't even go out and hand out the flyers to get more customers and still able to earn over $500 a day depending on the day. You an hire up to two staff members, with the amount of rooms you can unlock, obviously increasing the amount of VHS. It would be nice to be able to hire maybe another two or at least just one other staff. Just to get the returns done quicker. The street area outside the store has other building for the background. It'd be neat if in a later update those stores were also semi furnished where we could promote the VHS store, etc or do deals etc between the stores. Im really hoping more stuff gets added in the furture! Or other games get made by this developer. Gameplay mechanics are fun, easy to learn, creative. Graphics are great, game runs amazing. I did adjust my resolution and anti-aliasing settings thought as they were automatically set quite low for my pc, but even with a lower resolution and not the correct anti-aliasing the game is still great.
Excellent game. Nostalgic, entertaining, and fulfilling. There isn't anything that I didn't like about this game. It was one of the best I have played in years! I highly recommend Retro Rewind to anyone that enjoys relaxing simulator games.
