Arcade Paradise [Review]

Arcade Paradise was previously released on consoles and is now available for the Meta Quest headsets. Playing Arcade Paradise in VR is highly immersive and impressive. As a child of the '90s, I still had the opportunity to experience arcades before they were largely shut down nationwide. This game brings that full experience back to life. I was floored by the attention to detail and the atmosphere. The new update added more to the immersion, with some awesome music tracks to help further the experience. Every task in this game is actually a game in itself, somehow making toilet cleaning a fun experience. Arcade Paradise does a good job of tasking players with mundane tasks like cleaning, daily chores, and machine maintenance, enjoyable.

Picking up trash and taking it to the dumpster is incredibly over the top, and I love it. Everything this game offers gives an arcade game-like experience, and of course, this game has playable arcade machines because you run an arcade. The atmosphere of Arcade Paradise gives a satisfying arcade feeling with the familiarity of real games but is recreated with a new look and personal charm. To further elaborate, clever versions of pre-existing titles like Pacman, but instead of ghosts, it's the police, which is oddly more satisfying.

After a while of playing Arcade Paradise, players will have a full-fledged arcade, all with playable games. Also, it's worth noting that PlayStation, PC, and Xbox players can play a good chunk of these arcade games in local multiplayer. Arcade Paradise VR is largely the same game that is available on consoles and PCs, but just in VR. This is absolutely one of the best VR experiences you can have, and I highly recommend it. Oh, and Kung Fury fans rejoice! Kung Fury has a beat-em-up game on Arcade Paradise as a DLC, along with many other arcade cabinets. Arcade Paradise is available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, Xbox family of consoles, and Steam.
