Boring and repetitive, get another game lol

its a cute pixel type of game, i wouldn't exactly say its a simulator though. It's more of a story-based game made around a cashier's journey to management. yes you scan things things (like a simulator game) but you need to earn enough points to make it to the next level. Personally, when i see simulator in a game title, i think more like supermarket simulator/fast food simulator, It just doesn't give me that vibe. That's not a bad thing either. I did enjoy this game, its cute and all the little pixel co-workers are kinda chunky. Also, the small plot to the story gives it more of a story-based game where you get to know your coworkers, focus on promotions, and getting to the next level. The music gets annoying after a while as well, and towards the end of the game it feels boring and stale, especially after a certain in-game event (no spoilers) at month 20 (there are 24 months to your story mode). i felt like the game could have ended at month 20 but for your character to achieve their two years at the job and get their deserved ending, it wraps up nicely. Super easy to achievement hunt and no guides needed. there was a couple bugs i noticed when playing the game though, m…

Amazing - scratched that ADHD itch in a big way, I can count on my one hand the amount of games I've continued to persue to get 100% Achievement Unlocks - this is now one of them!

The satisfying, puzzle-like scanning, huge product variety, and charming humour make this a well-made cashier sim. However, the increasingly stressful story mode and fiddly produce-code system made it less relaxing and enjoyable for me than I’d hoped. Ultimately, it wasn't my type of game, but I'd still recommend it for others as it's well made, if this sounds good to you. Full review below. I use a plus + and minus - system for how significantly each item improved or affected my experience. +++ Mechanics of scanning feel pretty satisfying. It plays like a puzzle / tetris type game. You're scored on speed and matching categories of items. There is also a small "staging area" so you can rearrange things if you need to, as you can only see/access a small amount of items at a time. It was very enjoyable to get big combos of items. +++ Lots of different products to scan. Huge variety. ++ Audio and visuals are charming. They got the "doot" just right. ++ Humour is amusing and on point; I think the developer was a cashier in the past. There is lots of dialogue and personality if you explore between shifts. + There is a mode with no time limit for those that need it. - The story m…

Charming and fun. Lots of little details that are accurate to the retail experience. I have one game I play regularly to destress and now with Checkout I have two. I hope they make more or add dlc or something in the future. Very cute and worth the price for sure.
