00:00When I saw the promotional advert for this months ago I was really looking forward to
00:17playing it. It just looked like something different. The shop looks fantastic and the
00:22game has a nice but simple story. Run a business, make money, please your dad. The idea is that
00:29people that come in waiting for you to do their laundry will go play your arcade machines
00:35as they wait and this will earn you more money. Now as always, I'll be honest, this game held
00:43my attention for around 90 minutes but then I found it just got boring. Just doing the
00:50same thing every day, cleaning up trash, taking it out, though you're not actually taking
00:55it out, it just magically appears outside in a bag. Cleaning the toilet, then putting
01:00the laundry in the machines and selecting the correct washing cycle or drying cycle.
01:07Get it wrong and you won't make as much money. Make sure to read the instructions wrote clearly
01:12on the wall instead of being like me and trying to guess the setting to dry the clothes. It's
01:17really simple if you actually read. I've played three sessions and each time at around an
01:24hour and a half to two hours, I just get bored. Now you can expand your business to
01:29fit more machines. You can buy stuff on the in-game web such as ordering new arcade machines,
01:37buying new music for your jukebox, buying upgrades such as a new safe mechanism, a watch,
01:43car, shoes, loads of books. Even throwing out the trash, they have turned into a game.
01:51Throw it in, score some cash. Now the games which you can buy for your arcade, you can
01:57actually play, but they are hit or miss. You are given a to-do list also. Doing things
02:04involving your arcade machines such as reaching a certain score or losing so many points.
02:12Each one you cross off the list, you are rewarded with a small amount of money. I would have
02:17really liked to have seen people come into the laundromat and not just hear the bell on the door
02:22as it opens and a basket of laundry just magically appearing on the desk. Even the graphics on
02:29the arcade machines could have been a bit better than what they are, but I get that
02:34they are meant to look this way to fit in with the vibe of the game. There are quite
02:39a lot of machines to collect and whilst the games are simplistic, some are fun, others
02:44are not and I swear some didn't even work for me. Whilst I don't hate the game, I don't
02:51really love it either. I don't get a strong urge to pick this game back up again, though
02:56when I am playing it, I really do like trying to get more arcade machines. On the flip side,
03:03some of you may enjoy the slower pace of this game and how relaxing it can feel. So I'm
03:09going to score Arcade Paradise VR an 18 out of 25 and you can find my scoring system in
