Hey, hey!
This is Wolfie (yeah, that's my gamertag), and today I want to start a new series of videos to share on here, which, although it's going to be a series, it's not necessarily going to be of the same game.
What does this mean more exactly?
Well, I've always been a fan of Simulator Games, although I rarely spoke about them, but rather about games with actual storylines. While I didn't really plan to keep this a secret, I noticed more and more people being interested in this genre of games recently, since they don't require a lot of attention or skill, and they often become a very relaxing way to end a busy and exhausting day.
For this very first post of this kind, I am going to share a gameplay which is more like how everything looks once you fully upgrade your store in Retro Rewind video game, which I failed terribly on recording the progress from my very first minutes spent in this game.
This actually happened because I first downloaded the demo version of this game to try it out and see how much I enjoy it before buying it. So while I ended up spending a bit over 10 hours playing the demo only, when I added the game to my library, it turned out that all the progress I've made while playing the demo version was saved, so I could continue where I was left off in the paid version of the game without being needed to start everything from the beginning.
This was quite exciting since I would be pretty annoyed to lose all the progress I've made with the store in 10+ hours of gaming sessions, but it also kept me away from recording my gameplay because it made no sense to start recording it after it was visible how much I progressed in the game already.
Hence why, even though I had a blast playing the game, I decided it would be fairer to play it until the point where I consider I have finished the game (although that's obviously impossible since it's a simulator game and it never ends), and then post a video of how everything looks once you have a bit of everything displayed in there.
To make it even more interesting, I also left my employees to run most of the shop for one day while I was doing only the bare minimum in this gameplay, especially on tasks that required my attention, as the employees are limited when it comes to renting VHSs, getting them back from clients and testing them, as well as dealing with clients that refuse to pay their penalties for returning a rented movie either broken or with a delay.
Anyways, I will stop here sharing info, because I'd really appreciate it if you would spend a bit over 15 minutes to watch the video in case you are interested in this game, because no words can describe the actual feeling of playing this game, but a gameplay with it surely does a better job.
This is also going to be quite an exception because what I plan to share in the upcoming posts are videos that last around 1 hour, because we all know that it's quite pointless to post videos from simulator games that are less than that, since you'd barely make any progress.
As always, feel free to share thoughts, such as whether you have already tried this game or if it stirs any curiosity. I'd really love to connect with more simulator gamers on here.
