We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- VR players who want repeatable arcade challenges rather than a single extended campaign
- Friends seeking online or LAN multiplayer activities in a virtual arcade
- Players interested in motion-controlled basketball, bowling, shooting, and throwing games
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking character progression, an overarching story, or a campaign connecting the arcade machines
- Players who want complex management systems instead of a set of separate arcade games
- Players who prefer seated play or lack HTC Vive or Oculus Touch hardware
Our take on Pierhead Arcade
The inherited-arcade premise may suggest a management game, but the described activity is playing the machines themselves. Scores, tickets, multiplayer, and radio add surrounding systems without turning the arcade into a detailed business simulation.
What is Pierhead Arcade?
Run an inherited virtual pier arcade and play its collection of classic coin-operated games alone or with friends.
The game supports standing or room-scale VR with HTC Vive or Oculus Touch, plus online and LAN multiplayer. Machines include basketball, bowling, shooting, throwing, claw-machine play, and other arcade challenges. Hand movements correspond to actions such as throwing a ball. Scores from each machine can be uploaded to global leaderboards. Tickets earned during play can be exchanged for toys in the gift shop. The arcade also includes an internet radio player. Players can teleport to any visible machine, and the games can be played repeatedly using unlimited tokens.
