I’ve genuinely never known a more exciting year for arcade-style and modern-retro games!
Finally, developers big and small are understanding how to bridge the gap between nostalgia and modern gameplay expectations, creating the sort of rich retro experiences we would have killed for as kids, on consoles and PC.
