super game 10/10
I made a video store that eventually only sold kid and adult films. It just felt right.
Да, может быть это и не самая активная игра, но я провожу в ней время исключительно с целью расслабиться после тяжелого трудового, 15-20 часов достаточно, чтобы полностью реализовать все идеи в своем магазине и просто наслаждаться игрой. Если ваша цель - отдохнуть, вам сюда
Muy entretenido, siempre hay algo que hacer pero no es muy tedioso, lo recomiendo para bingear un fin de semana y olvidarte de todo
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)
The atmosphere of the game is simply incredible. I just wish you could change the look of the equipment such as the snack or concessions stand.

Added this to my wishlist a while back and forgot about it. Suddenly had the urge to buy it after binging "Stranger Things".
[b] English [/b] Retro Rewind is one of those games that always gives you a reason to come back. Even after ending a session, I often felt like reopening the store, improving the layout, increasing the profits and watching the business slowly grow. The management system is easy to understand, but the progression still feels rewarding. Store customization offers a good number of options and allows you to create a fairly personal video rental shop. I would, however, like to see more statistics added in the future, such as the total profit generated by each individual movie. That would make the management side even more interesting. I also enjoyed the changing seasons and special events such as Christmas and Halloween, which give the store a different atmosphere and add some welcome variety. As the business grows, you can hire two employees, with the second one becoming available at level 20. Graphically, the game is acceptable and does what it needs to do, although visuals are not the main reason to keep playing. Its real strength is the gameplay and that constant feeling of wanting to make one more improvement before stopping. For anyone who remembers the days of renting VHS tapes, Retro Rewind also brings back plenty of memories. Walking into a video store, looking at all the covers and choosing a movie belonged to a different time. And many of us probably thought at least once about how nice it would be to own a store like that. This game finally lets you experience it, even if only virtually. [b] Italiano [/b] Retro Rewind è uno di quei giochi a cui viene naturale tornare. Anche dopo aver chiuso una sessione, resta sempre la voglia di riaprire il negozio, migliorare gli spazi, aumentare gli incassi e vedere crescere lentamente la propria attività. La gestione è semplice da comprendere, ma riesce comunque a creare una buona soddisfazione nella progressione. La personalizzazione del negozio offre diverse possibilità e permette di costruire un videonoleggio abbastanza personale. Mi piacerebbe però vedere in futuro qualche statistica in più, come il guadagno totale generato da ogni singolo film, che renderebbe la parte gestionale ancora più interessante. Ho apprezzato molto anche l’alternarsi delle stagioni e la presenza di eventi come Natale e Halloween, che cambiano l’atmosfera del negozio e aggiungono un po’ di varietà. Durante la crescita dell’attività è inoltre possibile assumere due dipendenti, con il secondo che si sblocca raggiungendo il livello 20. Graficamente è accettabile e svolge bene il suo lavoro, anche se non è certamente questo il principale motivo per cui continuare a giocare. Il vero punto di forza è la giocabilità, insieme a quella sensazione costante di voler fare ancora un piccolo miglioramento prima di smettere. Per chi ha vissuto gli anni dei videonoleggi, Retro Rewind riesce anche a risvegliare molti ricordi. Entrare in quei negozi, osservare le copertine e scegliere una videocassetta faceva parte di un’altra epoca. E probabilmente, almeno una volta, molti di noi hanno pensato quanto sarebbe stato bello possedere un’attività simile. Questo gioco permette finalmente di farlo, anche se solo virtualmente.
