    The gameplay is engaging and addictive, enhanced by a variety of user-made mods and a versatile gameplay loop that captures the essence of running a second-hand game shop. However, players may find the experience becomes repetitive after 20-30 hours, as progression slows and the focus shifts to waiting for new game releases. Future updates are anticipated to introduce new mechanics and customization options, which could revitalize the gameplay experience.

    • “The gameplay is fun, and I love that there are so many user-made mods for the game. People have recreated a ton of old school games and included them in this game with covers, etc.”
    • “It's quite a slow progression, which extends gameplay, and you can easily go wrong if you try to expand or jump ahead too quickly. So thinking about upgrades and where to place them is important.”
    • “So far from what I’ve played, this game is amazing. It has super addicting gameplay and is really fun to grind.”
    • “The gameplay has become repetitive, with little left to achieve.”
    • “The gameplay now mainly revolves around waiting for new game releases every other day, which has become monotonous.”
    • “Players who progress quickly will likely exhaust all the store upgrades within 20-30 hours, leading to repetitive gameplay afterwards.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally considered good, though some users note a generic art design. While it may not have the best visuals, the overall experience and gameplay are deemed far more valuable. The art style on the game covers and consoles is particularly appreciated, and the support team is open to feedback regarding graphics.

    • “Love the art style on the game's covers and the consoles.”
    • “The graphics are great, and if you have suggestions or ideas, the support team is always ready to listen and help out.”
    • “Good system of gameplay; graphics are great.”
    • “The game definitely doesn't have the best graphics, but it has so much more that is worth 1000 times more.”
    • “Seems good so far, despite some generic looking graphics and art design.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has been criticized for various bugs and glitches, particularly related to trading and repairs, which hinder gameplay. Users report issues with employee movement and overall game functionality, leading to frustration and, in some cases, refunds.

    • “And even then trading/repairs seem a little buggy.”
    • “Repairs are a bit buggy as I need to take the traded-in CDs and put them someplace else for the workers to repair them.”
    • “The game is fun, but the employees are always bugging, not moving. I made a big store, but the employees are not moving, and there are a lot of glitches. Please fix this.”

  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players feel that poor translations contribute to a perception of the game as a low-effort cash grab, negatively impacting their overall experience and trust in the game's monetization practices.

    • “Incorrect or unnatural translations don't just create a bad experience; they easily make the game feel like a low-effort cash grab.”
    • “The monetization system feels overly aggressive, pushing players to spend money just to enjoy basic features.”
    • “It's frustrating to see so many paywalls in a game that could have been great without the constant pressure to buy.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, involving multiple steps to manage and sell items, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the game has potential for revisiting, the laborious process of item handling can become a significant chore.

    • “The game is interesting and I'd like to revisit at some point, but it's very tedious.”
    • “Buying a surprise pack of games is a hassle; they go into your game folder, and if you want to sell them, you have to open your folder, select the game, press X to take it, right-click to put it in a case, and then place it on the shelf... rinse and repeat, it's so tedious.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its humor, featuring amusing titles and a fun overall experience, particularly appealing to fans of simulation shop games. Players express a desire for more comedic parodies to be included in future updates.
