Early Access Review
The Coin Game is a throwback to going to birthday parties when you where a child with all the running around and excitement that a party entails.

Positives ;
*The game has a strong sense of nostalgia for those birthday parties that we all went to as kids.
*The arcade games are all time classics and they mostly have an easy pickup and play feel.
*Well priced, the game is currently £5.50 (£6.19 at full price) which I feel is about the right price for this.

Negatives;
* IMO the player character models just don't work. Currently the models are shown to be adult which doesn't work with the setting. Personally I'd play into that nostalgia factor and make the player character a kid or maybe even one of the kid robot.
* There's not much to do outside the arcade and the gas station. Tbf this will probably change in future updates (especially with survival mode promised) but as I review this, there's a large map but not much there to do.

A tentative thumbs up from me as The Coin Game shows promise but in it's current form, the game is missing its raison d'être.

Edit

Since this review, there have been a number of updates to the game including an overhaul of the player characters. The models look much better, now with customisation options. Still feel that the nostalgia factor would work with this game more but hey, they do look much better.

In terms of content, it has been announced that there will be more games like dodgems/bumper cars. Hopefully there will be a way for the AI to join you as that would be quite enthralling.

Still stand what I said previously but it's no doubt getting even better.
