[h1] Why you should or should not play Vending Machine Co. [/h1] [b] Before You Read [/b] [i] Every review on my profile is based on my own personal experience with a game. My opinions aren't facts, and you're not expected to agree with them—and that's perfectly okay. My goal isn't to tell you whether you should like a game. Instead, I try to explain what worked for me, what didn't, and who I think the game might appeal to. Constructive discussion is always welcome, but please remember there's a real person behind these reviews. Respectful disagreements are encouraged; insults, hostility, or personal attacks are not. [/i] [b] What is Vending Machine Co.? [/b] In this game you own/rent vending machines in different neighborhoods in Japan! [b] Quick Pros [/b] ✔ High replay ability ✔ Lots of content to explore ✔ Long playtime potential ✔ Interesting story ✔ Memorable characters ✔ Strong visual style ✔ Detailed world design ✔ Smooth animations ✔ Creative art direction [b] Quick Cons [/b] ✘ Limited game play variety ✘ Repetitive Soundtrack [b] Initial Thoughts: [/b] -"I love how I can change the colour of my vending machines and they all have such cute designs!" -"I wonder if there is an easier way to stock my vending machines, I only have four and its becoming a hassle already!" -"I have a damn rival in this game? Are we serious? Why is she so angry? Why does she look like a librarian? I WILL BUY YOU OUT GIRL!" [b] Beginner Player Friendly? [/b] I would argue that this game is very beginner players friendly. The game developer(s) made a very in depth tutorial that describes all the ins and outs of what to expect in this game. There is also short cut key binds, which can be found in your journal that is located in your backpack! [b] Game Play: [/b] In this game your goal is to be the best vending machine owner in town. But don't get to confident because your rivals can out buy you and competition could take you down- so make sure you get to the top first! Buy or Rent your vending machines and upgrade them to hold more items, repair themselves, clean themselves and more! You also need to stock your vending machines somehow, a local store assists with this and you can buy a large variety of items that you pick or that are most popular in the area! [b] Graphics: [/b] This graphics in this game are absolutely adorable. They seem hand drawn and remind me of a children's cartoon that we would find somewhere in Japan. The game runs smoothly and seems like it could run on lower end systems. The character design is very cute, and each character has a very obvious personality linked to them. The environments are intractable and full of different life depending on where your vending machine is. [b] Community: [/b] This game is a solo game, however, the community here is filled with many different styles of cozy gamers. They have all been friendly and everyone seems like they would give a helping hand if you needed it. [b] How long can you play? [/b] I so far have around an hour in this game and have yet to unlock even a quarter of the entire map. I believe this game has quite a bit of play time potential and I can see myself playing until I have anything and everything I could possibly get. I would argue for logistics sake however that it would probably take me around 6 hours to complete the basic story of this game. [b] My Opinion: [/b] In my opinion this cozy game is a fun and relaxing thing to play when you need some time to relax your mind. I think you should give this game a try if you are looking for some fun and relaxing vending machine game play. [b] Overall Review [/b] ★ 8/10 - A cozy game where vending machine owners can also have rivals. ✘ [b] Active Online Multiplayer [/b] [i] (meaning people will interact with you in game) [/i] ✔ [b] Family Friendly [/b] [i] (meaning friendly to all ages) [/i] ✔ [b] Solo Play ability [/b] [i] (meaning you can play by yourself if preferred) [/i] ✘ [b] Cross Compatibility [/b] [i] (meaning you can play with friends through other consoles.) [/i] ✘ [b] In-App Purchases [/b] [i] (meaning you can buy things after buying the game i.e DLC's) [/i] ✘ [b] Controller Compatible [/b] [i] (meaning you can play this game with a controller) [/i] Enjoyed this review?

ИГРАЯ В ЭТУ ИГРУ Я ПОНЯЛ КАК ЗАРАБАТИВАТЬ ДЕНЬГИ И МНЕ ОЧЕНЬ ПОНРАВИЛОСЬ ЧТО В ИГРЕ ВСЕ ПРОДУМОНО ДО МЕЛОЧЕЙ Я ОБЕЗАТИЛЬНО В НЕЕ ВЕРНУСЬ НО СНИМАЮ ОДИН БАЛ ЗА ТО ЧТО СЛИШКОМ ЛЕГКО 9/10
NOT having the ability to purchase an upgrade where you can auto stock items nor having an upgrade to auto deliver items is a huge miss on this game. There are 9 districts. Each with 3 vending machines to own, operate, manage, upgrade, etc. You're telling me I have to go through basically every other district EVERY in-game day in order to micromanage my company in a "cozy" game. The art style, amazing. The music, a vibe. The concept, sweet. But not having a QoL upgrade in this type of game is a massive letdown and miss here.
Metro kısmında bir otomat alıp bıraktım cunku surekli otomat doldura doldura bunaaaldım ve yapacagim extra bir olayda galmamıstı guzeldi ama fazla otootomattı ve KAMYONUMA HICBIR SEY ISTEDIGIM GIBI SIGMIYOR BIRAKMA SEBEBIM BU
这个游戏我不得不给个差评,其实按理来说是比较吸引我的,优点是游戏内可互动元素很多,画风和玩法也比较符合我的预期,小游戏相较于开发商的其他游戏来说还不错。但是缺点比较明显:1.游戏的成就有刻意拖时长的嫌疑,这个游戏按理来说100天基本就能把全满级通关了,但是游戏要全成就至少要干到200天,而且游戏还加了签约企业的成就,要知道游戏内是10天一签约,签约是随机出三个企业选一个,可以重刷两次,总共有19个签约不同企业的成就,也就是说至少要刷到184天后才能拿完全成就,而且还是在每次都能选到新企业的情况下。2.游戏后期的自动化方面基本聊胜于无,到了大后期玩家一个人要管理二十多个售货机,还要负责调价,张贴广告,所以往往到了换季的时候手忙脚乱的,光下架旧货补新货就要半个小时,还要算上贴广告,调价的时间,而且游戏里货车的容量不大,往往补一次货要跑好几趟,在游戏里至少要过两天才能全部补完,这种工作强度还是九天换一次货,很容易消耗玩家的耐心。
Fun! I didn't really agree with some of the negative reviews. I thought for a "cozy" game this actually had a lot going on to start with. But as you play it becomes easy and not something you have to worry about making mistakes. Its a perfect in between staying busy but not overwhelming. I liked all the extras and mini games and also feel like it plays at a good pace.
[h2]Об игре:[/h2] Расслабляющий симулятор торговых автоматов. [h2]Отзыв:[/h2] Игра по-настоящему расслабляет. Если у вас хорошая память, процесс пойдет еще быстрее. Здорово, что не нужно сидеть перед монитором постоянно: можно заполнить автоматы товаром и отойти по своим делам. А если не терпится — просто завершайте день и двигайтесь дальше. Графика очень приятная, хоть и выполнена в «детском» стиле — но ведь в душе мы все остаемся детьми. С оптимизацией полный порядок: всё летает, багов не обнаружил. [h2]Рекомендация:[/h2] Однозначно рекомендую! Отличный способ отвлечься от суеты, особенно для тех, кто постарше. Другие мои игровые обзоры доступны в профиле. Буду признателен за оценку отзыва!
초반엔 재밌어서 뇌빼고 하는데도 시간 금방 감. 그래픽도 아기자기하고, 물건 채우는거 궁리하는 맛도 있음. 물류 채우는거 진짜 쌉 조트라고 생각함. 중후반 가서 자판기 갯수가 점점 많아질수록 관리하는데에 발끝에서부터 짜증이 올라오기 시작함. 시민들이 자꾸 자판기 발로 차버리는데 나도 그들을 뿅망치로 응징하고 싶어지는 감정이 한 번씩 듬.
VICIANTEEEEE, parei de jogar pq se não eu não jogava mais NADA! Muito fofo, tem coisa pra fazer o tempo todo, voce fica empolgada tentando dominar o comercio local além de mini jogos dentro dele. Támbém tem varios niveis, desde só ficar reabastecando maquina até realmente o baguio louco com conconrrentes locais HAHAHA eu gostei
Es ist nicht schlecht, aber auch kein Boomer aus der Reihe. Was man aber positiv anmerken kann, ist das es süß ist.
