Mind Scanners is a dystopian management sim with strong cassette-futurist aesthetics that combines mini-games with an engaging story about working for an authoritarian bureaucracy, which players praise for its psychological horror elements and thematic depth. Common complaints center on the gameplay becoming repetitive over time and the mini-games requiring adjustment, with most players suggesting it's best purchased on sale rather than at full price.

The cassette-futurist aesthetic is phenomenal, particularly the UI. CRT displays, chunky interfaces, Cronenbergian diagnostic equipment, monochromatic readouts, dot-matrix printers and an abundance of technology that looks like it was designed in the distant future that [i]was[/i] 1989 all contribute to the oppressive character of the world that the game is set within. The gameplay reinforces this beautifully. Diagnosing patients and operating the various tre…

Neat game but gets a bit uninteresting pretty quick. Buy on sale, wouldn't recommend buying at the $17 price tag.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
