Review: Arcade Artist is a collection of things. You can paint and splatter all you want, or you can play some of the simplistic games. This is not a serious paint program, nor it is a serious game, it is just made to have fun in VR and to be fair, it delivers that fun. While I guess that this is more aimed at the little ones than us VR loving adults it’s still fun to play I suppose. The £5.99 is a hard price to swallow and I highly suggest you wait for this to be in a really good sale before you consider buying it. Pay a quid or so for this and you might find it a laugh. But much more you will be wishing you had paid to watch real paint dry.
