Not a Bad Set of Games

The recreation room provided in Rec Room games really puts many other game rooms to shame. Here, you get a choice of 20 games - from Alleyball to Darts to Table Tennis.
Most of the games can be played by up to four players; the ones that aren’t are most of the sports themed ones: Table Tennis, Table Hockey, and Peg.
Getting through the game is simple; you pick a game, you pick the number of players, each player picks an avatar, and you play the game. At the end, a winner (or a draw) is declared. You can play the game again or go back to the main menu for another game. That’s it.
The flat presentation will turn off many players; there’s nothing to unlock, the avatars can’t be modified in any way and there’s no reward for winning a game (except to see your avatar’s name followed by the word “wins”.
And some of the games have control issues - namely Darts (the targeting dot keeps moving even when I hold the Wiimote still) and Foosball (picking which set of players to spin is a real headache).
Still, I had a lot of fun with some of the games - Discus Throwing, Alleyball, Rubberband Shooting and Table Tennis.
Rec Room Games is good for players who just want simple fun and don’t want to deal with complicated matters like unlockable outfits and trophies. Just don’t expect a rich and fulfilling experience with this game. RENT IT.
