There’s a good amount of customization to be had here with the Arcade Machines to the point where you can retrofit the machines to play and look exactly like your favorite arcade machines.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.

Honestly the Movie theater alone helps sells it for me, as it makes watching videos in VR more entertaining, and actually adds benefit to playing Co-Op (if configured on both ends)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design if absolutely perfect (with the exception of the ear bleedingly loud robot) the controls, while they take some getting used to, feel good in VR, and there's a level of polish and interactivity that's very rare in VR games.
