Description: Beach Bar VR is an arcade game about bartending. See how quickly you can serve as many people as possible. It includes an arcade mode with three difficulty settings, and a tutorial, which shows you how to play and make all the different drinks. For each difficulty mode, the number of different drinks that the customers ask for increases. In the easiest mode, all they want is Whisky, Wine, and Beer. In the hardest mode, you have a six-bottle bar, and they will ask for more complicated cocktails. The tutorial is three parts. It will step you through all the mechanics of the game, and how to make every drink.
Review: If you can look past the WTF! style of graphics in ‘Beach Bar VR’ there is a fun little game here. You play the role of a cocktail maker at a beach bar. There is only one environment, but there is a good variety of drinks at least. While the drink making does take a little getting used to I was able to make them pretty fast once I got into the game. While this game will never be worth the current £7.19 asking price it is worth grabbing for a quid or two as it did make me smile on more than one occasion. It’s worth a look, but only at the right price.
