Тот случай, когда не стоит верить крайне положительным отзывам. Симулятор очень однообразный и нудный. По сути все, что можно делать в игре - это разносить кассеты по полкам и стоять на кассе. Уровни качаются очень медленно для такого "разнообразного" геймплея. Найм сотрудников никак не помогает, потому что даже самые быстрые работают довольно медленно. Можно в начале нового дня поставить сотрудника на разбор кассет и уйти в афк на 5-10 минут, настолько они медленно делают свою работу. Еще есть особые снежинки, которых если в первый же день попросить работать быстрее, то они увольняются 🤡 Из плюсов выделю только то, что НПС и сотрудники не багаются, как это бывает в симуляторах.
very fun! 8/10
J'ai connu l'époque des VHS, alors c'est avec une bonne dose de nostalgie que j'ai lancé le jeu. Au début, c'était vraiment amusant. L'ambiance est réussie, on retrouve le petit côté club vidéo, avec l'odeur imaginaire du popcorn et tout le charme de cette époque. Par contre, le grind de l'XP devient rapidement beaucoup trop long... et surtout, pas très amusant. Passé un certain stade, qui arrive assez vite, on a plus ou moins toujours le même nombre de clients, sauf lors des événements spéciaux. Donc, que tu possèdes 100 ou 2 000 VHS, au final ça ne change pratiquement rien. Le prix reste le même et les seuls critères qui comptent vraiment sont : vieux, normal, nouveau... et adulte. Sincèrement, la qualité des films ne semble presque avoir aucune importance. Elle sert surtout quand un client fait une demande précise du genre : « Je veux un film de ce type, mais de telle qualité. » À part un très, très, très léger bonus d'XP, ça ne change absolument rien au gameplay. Le jeu a pourtant de bonnes idées. Le fait de pouvoir embaucher un employé est vraiment apprécié. Le problème, c'est que le deuxième arrive beaucoup trop tard. À partir du moment où tu réalises que les clients choisissent leurs VHS presque au hasard, tu comprends que posséder des films rares, multicolores ou avec des critiques exceptionnelles... on s'en fiche un peu. De toute façon, tu es limité par une seule caisse, un seul employé et un nombre fixe de clients. Ton énorme collection ne sert finalement qu'à prendre la poussière... virtuellement. Du coup, l'argent ne sert plus à grand-chose. Agrandir le magasin ne sert pas à grand-chose non plus. Tout ce qui reste, c'est de farmer de l'XP en espérant enfin débloquer le deuxième employé. Et c'est là que j'ai décroché. C'est dommage, parce que le thème est excellent. Les VHS, le côté rétro, l'ambiance de club vidéo, la nostalgie... tout ça fonctionne à merveille. Mais l'exécution ne suit pas. Au final, ça devient un simulateur de plus où l'on regarde une barre d'XP monter au ralenti. Et, pour être honnête, c'est le premier jeu du genre que j'abandonne avant même d'avoir terminé tous les succès. Non pas parce qu'il était difficile... mais simplement parce qu'il a fini par me rendre triste. Il avait tout pour être un coup de cœur, mais il est resté une bonne idée qui n'a jamais vraiment décollé. Je le recommande quand même, parce que j'y ai tout de même joué 13 heures. Pour son prix, ça reste un jeu honnête et j'ai passé un bon moment, malgré ses défauts.
Super Spiel habe jetzt 20h investiert und bin erstmal am Ende der freischaltungen angekommen, das Büro und den Lagerraum kann man noch nicht kaufen, hoffe noch auf etwas Content, ansonsten entspanntes Spiel mit viel Liebe zum Detail
So fun!! The game hooked me in right from the start. Lots of customization available and an obvious linear pathway to getting your store to it's full potential. I got a couple mods (nothing game breaking) such as a real movie mod and a montage of trailers to play on the tvs and it felt like such a dream. The game can be as hectic or as easy going as you want it to be. Runs really well, plays great, looks awesome. Has a lot of room to expand upon itself and hopefully they do!! Checks all the boxes for a solid sim 5/5!!
I like it to a degree for a simulator. Its very limited, TCG does it way better. You get a second employee at level 20, so thats probably about 15 hours of gameplay, and its a slog. Its incredibly repetitive, either you checkout or you handle returns, while you have your first employee doing the other job. So I cant focus on curating my movies, or designing the store, etc. because Im forced to perform incredibly repetitive tasks for sooo long. I understand if the other employees are locaked behind levels like 5 or 10, but 20?? The features are really limited, you cant set your own price for snacks, movie rentals, movie purchases, etc. There are no stats to display how popular the store is or if adding decorations even does anything. Having the ability to "sell" movies isnt really fleshed out either because you cant control the price, and the "rarity" boxes dont make much sense either; are they in higher demand? I know they cost more if a customer buys them but what about rentals? Theres a black market feature to buy specific movies but it has this janky SKU system where you have to find the movie you want to buy from a shelf, and repeatedly look at the 8 digit random number and type that into the computer to buy it; you cant even reference the catalog of movies you have and buy them that way, you have to go out on the floor and sift through them to find the one you want. Overall for a sim I love the idea of your own blockbuster, and I do see potential, but its not there yet. Its waaaay too much of slog and repetitive work that needs to be done. If you want a sim store go for TCG over this.
It's a good game to turn your brain on auto pilot and then wonder where your whole day went.
It’s just lovely. I didn’t know I’d enjoy store simulation games this much before playing Retro Rewind. I absolutely love the nostalgia. I really appreciate that there is always something to do and that (so far) it didn't turn into one of those games where you eventually just stand around idling. I wish this would have co-op mode - would love to play this with a friend. Really hoping for more content in the future.
Deeply addictive, nostalgia-fueled management sim that captures the magic of old video rental stores. Shout out and RIP to Movies America, my OG store as a kid.
Оценку дать сложно, но я скорее порекомендую. Поначалу игра кажется очень приятной и атмосферной - тебя действительно интригует, какой выйдет новый фильм, какой новый жанр ты откроешь в конце дня, как будет оформлен новый ивент или что интересненького тебе предложит барыга. Но чем дольше ты играешь, тем больше игра тебя душит - ты просто делаешь свою работу и молишься, что б день побыстрее закончился(что канон, полагаю) и дало побольше опыту. Серьезно, игре, как воздух необходимо развитие автоматизации и разнообразия в геймплее. Чаще всего тебе за уровень открывают либо новый жанр, либо новый товар, что на геймплей влияет слабо. И кстати, про товары - по непонятной причине посетители очень неохотно берут снеки, напитки, игрушки и вкусняшки. Настолько неохотно, что я даже не уверен, что они за всю игру окупились. Прибавьте к вышеперечисленному туповатых ботов, местами дырявую локализацию и растягивание прогрессии - смешать, но не взбалтывать. В общем, если надумаете купить - дропайте игру сразу, как она перестанет вам нравиться и ждите обнов. 6 из 10.
