Retro Rewind - Video Store Simulator

So Retro

Molto immersivo e personalizzabile, la quantità di film e attività, come la gestione leggera del negozio e i vari gadget e attrezzature lo rendono leggero, rilassante e anche a tratti stressante, ma non troppo, il focus è più sulla personalizzazione, non su guadagni da foglio excel, e si entra subito nel vivo senza troppi tutorial enormi, poi col tempo si sbloccano cose e dipendenti per servire un pò tutti bello il catalogo film, con edizioni limitate, nuove uscite da mettere in esposizione, eventi speciali nel calendario, ratings, possibilità di acquistare copie "pirata" inserendo codici di un dato film e il rivenditore dietro il negozio che offre titoli particolari con titoli assurdi DIrei che alla fine è una droga, dal demo già capite tutto, è in inglese ma poco cambia nel gioco principale, poi può risultare chill o stressante, alla fine è un job simulator ma non manageriale pesante e questo mi garba molto, per fare un confronto dave the diver seppur bellissimo l'aspetto della gestione totale di centomila meccaniche del ristorante era eccessivo per me, qui è l'opposto ci sono soldi e xp, ma è tutto più casual e anche disordinato. E va bene così, per me. 9/10 perchè un giorno nel negozio se stai alla cassa è abbastanza ripetitivo, o stressante, e il cartello apri o chiudi negozio è manuale, alla fine ti fa guadagnare di più ma non ha senso se poi ci sono orari però bello ho già 10 ore, l'ho preso ieri e sto ancora a metà progressione, sbloccato solo un'area nuova del negozio

Retro Rewind is a fantastic no-stress simulator taking you back to the 90s, it captures the feeling and keeps you going with the weekly new releases that are always references to classic FANTASTIC films so you can really feel like you're in the time period. I wouldn't consider the game finished but there's definitely enough here to shove 10-25 hours into in a casual run easily. As of writing this review there's a repair bench so you're never losing money on broken tapes anymore and a new VCR renting section that HAS to be manned by you, not staff. I definitely recommend picking this up and playing it, it even has a DEMO! So try it out! I enjoyed it so much I livestreamed my complete playthrough of this game. Now for a few "negatives" (honestly they're more nitpicks but QOL update can easily fix) I will say I'm not too impressed with progression as it currently stands, having to wait until near the end of the game to get a second staff member is a bit silly because even with 2 staff members YOU still have a lot to do and have a lot of customers to deal with, plus having to babysit the two laziest staff is a lot to do lol. Even with a Fast Staff member on Returns they will STILL be dealing with them LONG after closing time, which I find massively unacceptable. Also please let them carry more than 4? Like come on I can carry 10 with my bare hands!

great but would be better if there was an option to beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of rude customers

Peak. Its everything I wanted it to be. Can literally smell the store

That's like super cringe and weird... I spend at least an hour on the demo. After it, I bought the game cuz it was dope and spend around 2-3h in it. And Steam just started counting today... Whatever, so, I will praise the game, but wanna write something and hope the devs will see it: The game isn't greatly optimized. The demo was kinda better. But it kinda overheats my PC. I can run it on high or even epic... but I am forced to lower it between high and medium just so it doesn't overheat my machine... pls, do something. About the game - yes, it's very addictive. Really love it. The settings are great and the gameplay loop is very fun. I couldn't let it down. After playing the S out of the demo, it was an easy buy. This game is a masterpiece <3

Yes, I do, in fact, get home from work to run my own store and fulfill my childhood fantasy of owning a movie rental store. No, I do not need you to remind me that I am working after doing work; lots of folks have two jobs! Seriously though, this is such a relaxing game that fills me with nostalgic joy; 100% recommend to folks who enjoy the genre!
