The core gameplay of Pierhead Arcade is beautifully simple. All the mini-games have realistic physics which makes the controls very intuitive and easy to pick up. Each game lasts for around 60 minutes, but you can freely jump to another game whenever you want.

Although playing alone can be fun, the game also supports multiplayer, with a score leaderboard.

In all honesty, whilst the game is fun at first, it’s hard to imagine anyone investing a lot of time in it alone. As a single-player game it does have its limitations, but as a party game, the game is incredible.

The Pierhead Arcade is only available on VR, so unless you already have VR headsets at home, getting the game does require some investment…

The Pierhead Arcade is already available on Steam.
