Other games include a rhythm game with a truly convoluted set of button inputs and a racing game that's as simple to win as holding down the accelerate and boost button. A multiplayer inspired mode sees you collecting fruit to take back to your base whilst battling other opponents, but moves along at a snails pace. Since the game is based in an arcade, you'd expect to get your hands on a variety of games, but there's only a handful, none of which feel particularly great to play. While the narrative is fluffy enough to keep your interest, everything else in Button City feels like a slog. It also has some lovely representation in its characters, specifically through physical disabilities. It's bundled with some amusing dialogue and moments, such as your friend who blasts heavy metal outside your house in the morning while doing yoga. After stumbling across the local arcade, you're inducted into a group of fellow video game enthusiasts, working together to ensure the arcade isn't shut down for good. You play as Fennel, a recluse who is encouraged to venture out of his comfort zone and make friends. It's a shame, as the narrative in place is actually quite charming. Despite how Button City appears, it's unfortunately not long before you realise it has very little holding it all together. All of this is set to be wrapped in a beautifully told story that pulls on those nostalgic heartstrings of sitting in the arcades when you were younger. It has a wonderful visual style, cute characters and boasts a ton of arcade games to lose yourself in. From the outside, Button City looks as though it should be a wholesome recipe for success.
