Pixel Ripped 1978 is a very good game. It's more suitable for the older gamers who can appreciate all the references and memories. It's fun, creative, and never gets boring. Even if we take away the nostalgia, it still manages to engage with its gameplay and story. However, there are also some issues, and the main one is its length. The game could be finished in a few hours, which is a bit short. The music could have been more diverse, and some repetitive activities could have been reduced.

Pixel Ripped 1978 sticks close to the formula that has kept the series more relevant than the games it pays homage to, and that's not a bad thing. Full of quirky fun and many nostalgic throwbacks to the days of Atari, there's plenty here but more so for the older folks who were around when wood-panel finishes were all the rage.

On the outside, charming time travel with some nice ideas, but also a lot of boredom and some frustrating moments.

Pixel Ripped 1978 is an enjoyable VR adventure with innovative gameplay. The nostalgia for Atari is explored, even if most players end up identifying only with the console itself. Unfortunately, even being developed by Brazilians, there is no localization for Portuguese.

Pixel Ripped 1978 from ARVORE Immersive Experiences and Atari is a good VR experience that is led by a competent narrative and nostalgia. How VR is used within the game is entertaining and engaging, if not outright clever. While not all of the game is gold, it still manages to turn old game schemes and concepts into something new and engaging within a virtual reality environment.

Pixel Ripped 1978 is another fun entry into one of the most unique series in video games, and is recommended to fans with a few minor caveats. Get ready for some spectacular visuals and effects, but also prepare yourself for some old school difficulty and a side helping of minor technical issues. Fans of the franchise shouldn't hesitate to grab this new installment, but new players should be ready for a bit of a "getting to know you" learning curve. Still, the inspired combination of Atari and ARVORE succeeds at providing gamers with a unique and delightful time-machine view into gaming history.

While the gameplay doesn’t evolve nearly enough given the game’s runtime, you still wind up with a fun experience. And for anyone invested in the history of the medium, there’s a lot to love.

Pixel Ripped 1978 brings Atari nostalgia to VR in a charming adventure that feels a little too removed from reality at times.
