Dinsun Review
Iβm too old for 'wacky' physics games. Arm Simulator belongs to that sub-genre of games designed specifically for YouTubers to scream at. The controls aren't just difficult; they are fundamentally broken by design to create 'humorous' failure. For a serious gamer, this is just bad engineering masquerading as comedy.
The novelty lasts about three minutes. After that, you're just wrestling with a terrible UI and a physics engine that feels like it was coded on a lunch break. There is no depth, no progression worth mentioning, and the 'humor' is bottom-of-the-barrel. Itβs a waste of storage space. If you want to struggle with controls, play a flight simβat least there's a reward for learning those.
