- A chill repair game centered around older game consoles and handhelds. It does scratch that itch and is a step above some of the other games that fall into the same category. It also has the Atari license so you get some official Atari systems in there like the 2600 and the Lynx. The story and dialog with the characters/customers you meet is fine, but it isn’t going to make or break you on buying this game. I finished the story in about 9 hours. There is bit more to do after if you want to clean up some achievements, but it starts to feel a bit tedious around then, as 10 hours seem to be as much as I wanted to play.
- the game is one of its kind and is very relaxing and satisfying to play but i wish there will be future updates to make sure this game will be played eve nweeks after release and i also hope some things get more complex but overall for now crazy good game
- Gameplay viciante e muito bem feita, muito cuidado com os detalhes e estilo de arte muito bom, recomendo muito e um dois principais jogos ´´Cozy´´ do ano, só senti falta de uma história melhor e variedade maior de dispositivos, porém nada que mude muito a jogatina nesse jogo.

- ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs far surpasses all expectations, being one of the most immersive experiences in the genre. By combining extremely enjoyable gameplay, attention to atmosphere, a huge catalog of technological relics, and a narrative anchored by a humanized protagonist—even if the narrative pace can drag a little at times—the title from Mandragora Studio delivers much more than just another task simulator.
- ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is proof that you don’t really need a compelling story when taking apart old gadgets is this darn satisfying. Its Y2K nostalgia, detailed machines, and addictive restoration work make it an easy game to sink hours into, even if its characters struggle to keep up. What’s important is the work in front of you, and that’s enough to send you into a flow state of endless tinkering.
- ReStory is an enjoyable electronics repair simulator that excels at setting and nostalgia-inducing products to repair. It was so fulfilling being able to work on old devices I've come up with, like PSPs, DS, BlackBerrys, and Atari consoles, and the mid-2000s Japan setting really sets the mood nicely. The cast of characters is great, and the story is decent when it isn’t confusing, but it’s very easy to fall into a repetitive cycle that shuts out a lot of the variety that comes from all the devices we can work on.
