Multiplayer

Preferably, if there was more time spent in early access to refine and optimize the game, finish things like the survival mode, adding multiplayer as well as maybe a new location with new games.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Most of the achievements are fine, most being achievable with normal gameplay.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Rather than following a structured narrative or traditional progression system, the game builds its identity around immersion, freedom, and the pursuit of small, satisfying rewards.

Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
The game is called the coin game based around arcades yet to prosper in survival mode the arcades games are the worst way to go. the ticket pay outs are TERRIBLE, the prizes are decorative, and if you get a streak going in a arcade game some code in game will send npc buillies to knock you off a game AND THEY DONT LEAVE SO YOU CAN'T USE THE SAME ARCADE MACHINE FOR THE DAY plus its 3 of them good luck. the rewards you exchange for tickets you can sell at the pawn shop for money, but its pointless because in the same time trading a top prize in to the pawn shop (hoverboard) you can earn 10x the amount of money doing the same carnival game over.
