Extra Coin

What I liked: Visual style The setting and synopsis Variety of minigames Little Easter Eggs like an NPC wearing[spoiler] Link's costume[/spoiler] What wasn't quite so good: The duels I missed one of the features of the game entirely (apparently, there is a social media app you can post to as a character) I wish it was a bit longer or the world had a bit more depth Repetitive unfinished bits (like the keyboard mappings) for a game that's out for 2 years I am a bit on the fence about this game. I enjoyed it. While there wasn't anything broken or wrong with the game, I didn't leave feeling satisfied, victorious or impacted by the story. I would still reccomend it if you like the art style, or want to play the duels as that would bring a lot of options to replay.

- The controls: bad - The game mechanics: bad - The story has potential, and yet... predictable and it doesn't progress well. I know, this is made to be played with controllers... but look, it is not so difficult to program proper control with keyboard and/or mouse once you have the game. It could have been so much better. The minigames completely kill the experience, of course much worse if one is using keyboard and mouse.

I highly recommend it — it’s a very, very nice game! I played through it in three days, and I’m pretty sure I had a major bug because I was never able to change my character’s cosmetics. It didn’t bother me that much anyway. The playthrough is so smooth — I didn’t see the time pass. Normally, after a few hours of playing, I tend to skip dialogue because I’d rather play than read, but this game kept me engaged the whole time. One slightly disappointing thing, in my opinion, is that you can’t continue playing normally after finishing the main story — you have to go back to a previous save. But this system does make it easier to get the different endings.

If you answered no, you would probably fit right in at The Arcade, where you can take a new shot at life. You can escape depression, fear, and anxiety and live a perfect existence forever, uploaded to the digital cloud, doesn't that sound amazing!? If you answered yes, you might become an oppressor. You would see these poor sacks of flesh and bone throwing away their lives, families and future to a corporation that would do anything to exploit them for control and profit. Extra Coin dives into these concepts of life and virtual reality, using the current conflict within America as the cornerstone of why people would be willing to give everything up. Visually, I was drawn in by its simple avatar-style design, packed with anime, cartoon, and video game references. I had to check it out, and I was not disappointed. The gameplay is respons…

I think I found this game through one of the indie showcases last year and it lived up to the hype in terms of art and writing. Unfortunately the let down for me was the gameplay. “Duels” are just tennis games which didn’t really feel good and the mini games were randomly placed in game with some luck and some surprising you with timing based games that needed a go or two to nail. Ultimately the pacing was the deal breaker for me. I’d recommend if you’re after a chill night time game. But overall it felt closer to a waking sim than something that’s fun to play.

The description says it is a story-rich life sim, but don't let that distract you from it's true nature: a cyberpunk tennis RPG.
