March 2025
To understand RewindApp games is to know what they are, and to like them is to understand them. Retrowave World is a culmination of numerous previous experiments, effectively games as tech demos, and this is no different. Expecting a fully rounded GTA style game? You don't understand. Think a release game should be glitch-free, content heavy and robust? You don't understand. Will you like this game? If you don't already know, then you don't understand. Retrowave games are about vibing, and to an extent about basking in RewindApp's slightly-mad, slighty-genius way of doing things. Retrowave World isn't about goals or gameplay loops or progression or completion. This is for those who are happy to cruise around taking in the unique, stylised 80s themes these games have been building up to, turn up the excellent synthwave and just soak it all in. There of course ARE gameplay loops (about 5) and there IS progression but if you come into this expecting a traditional game you will find them horribly grindy, repetitive and unbalanced. And most of all - unfinished: probably never to be finished if you understand and know RewindApp. Finishing or honouring promises isn't their MO, they'll probably be well onto another EA release of a further crazy idea before a tenth of the expected functions in this game are completed. It is absolutely full of bugs, glitches, borked and removed bits, illogical gameplay and most of all, follies. In the UK a folly is an investment or hell-bent project which ultimately serves no purpose, like an intricately designed and lavishly built building in a place no one can access, see or use it. Retrowave World, for instance, starts in a main compact city but offers routes to 5 other locations, most of which serve only 1 brief purpose or none at all other than to showcase what was happening in RewindApp's mind's eye as he built this monolithic folly. But, BUT - if you do find that you settle in to the vibe and the charm of this gaming experiment you could say instead that there's a lot of effort, a lot of visual content, a lot of charisma and individuality, a lot of coding and thought cleverness and of course, a lot of neon. You mustn't buy this game as a completed game in the traditional sense. You'll most likely think it's a lazy-ass cash grab or rookie failure attempt. But I knew what to expect so once I got into this, I understood what it was. And I really really like it for what it is and if I'm honest I'm glad people are doing this kind of thing as well as well-constructed indies and triple-A monsters. So before you buy this, leave your gamer expectations and entitlements at the door, do a bit of research, maybe play one of the early Retrowave games and see if you 'get it.'

No joke, this game is perfect for getting high and drunk and playing. The gameplay itself is terrible and wish it wasn't even there. I would rather drive around forever in the landscapes. Wish there was no money or gas or whatever. Takes the fun out of the game. But aside from this, truly, honestly, no joke. This is a perfect game to get wasted and play. I recommend it to everyone.

Retrowave World is a very good driving game where you can drive some cars and customise them, deliver some pizzas, rescue some peoples in the water, bet money in the casino and play arcade games all in an 80's ambiant with synthwave musics... For his low price, it worth it and I highly recommend it!!! 🕹️🌅🌴💜

It's a decent GTA clone w/ an 80's aesthetic (besides Vice City), but since it's in early access, I can tell it's not done yet. All you can do (at time of typing) is play arcade/casino games, deliver pizzas, ferry people as a taxi, rescue swimmers as a lifeguard, buy real estate, explore/time trial race in 5 worlds, collect VHS tapes, dive into a pool, customize any car you buy, & smoke a joint. Which sounds like a lot on paper, but there needs to be MORE! To the devs, I have some ideas: - more worlds inspired by 80s TV & movies - more activities & achievements (racing NPCs, sports, even a fight club to get use outta that combat mechanic) - customize/live in the homes we buy in real estate (or at least give us a default home. Maybe 1 in every city or just Ocean Island) - more clothing for player (maybe add clothing & accessory stores) - watch stuff in VHS store (licensed shows/movies, YouTube clips, anything) - restaurants w/ eating mechanic just for giggles - campaign w/ missions - update music playlist to more than just synth/vaporwave - Hot coffee? RewindApp...I understand this sounds like a lot of work (and that other projects are keeping you busy), but this game has potential to be a great sandbox game. Research the Yakuza or GTA or even Saints Row games for inspiration if you need to. We don't even mind if you copy/paste some stuff. Don't let it all be for naught, please!

A great open-world retrowave game where you can just let your mind wander while listening to chill retro music on a car ride, or drive to the beach to save a hot chick's life, or go in search of hidden VHS, etc... Do whatever you like, but just soak up the retrowave vibes!
