Anarchy Arcade reviews and comments

This is a brilliant idea in the wrong pair of shoes. What this actually pioneers in someway is a virtual room filled with links, videos, games, movies and cosmetic furniture and other interactive stuff to play around with.

This has an enormous potential as an alternate desktop environment. It also supports multiplay.

The problem this "game" has is its a half-life mod and therefore it looks outdated as hell and is terrible to navigate and use. I mean its not difficult to use it or anything.

A great idea but restrained by it's framework.

Early access review this game probably could have been nice if I could have played, I explain tutorial in English a little bugged, so I could not complete it. A single server is currently available with a huge ping, so I can not get to know me.

Early Access Review That's not a Game, but it's a really nice Idea to create your own virtual Space with everything you want. + Virtual Atmosphere + Custom Maps + Show Trailer of Games you downloaded but have never played + Course in your virtual Space around + watch even more Trailer + See distorted Steamgame covers + Look yet MORE trailer + SPAAAAT USK 89 + 10/10 IGN 100%

Early Access Review I didn't play much, but still I give a review The game Has a very good concept and I hope that the game comes out big the only thing I'm missing is the Multiplayer, though there is one but this one only owns lan server either m Do I ask something wrong or it is not quite finished any case a very good game that leaves a lot of freedom and creativity I recommend it

Early Access Review The Idea behind it isn't bad. To have Your own Apartment and to have Consoles in it that you could play DayZ, Borderlands etc. is ne Hammer's Idea. In Practice, however, this is not too nicely implemented, although I am sure that is still possible and the Developers also thought they want to revise the Game. At the moment, however, it is too confusing for me in terms of Control and Objects. Underm Knit: The Game is not bad, but the best Game in the World is not. In the Tutorial far too little is explained and otherwise I can't really get away with the Controls either. However, to say something positive, as I said, the Idea is not bad, that one is only now trying to put something on my Feet does not convince me, because something like that is quite Inovative and I have never seen anything like This before. However, I would still wait for the Game to develop a bit further. I hope the Review was Informative enough and I am pleased to receive Feedback;). Greeting, Soul.
