By Mat�� �trbaPixel 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.
ThisGenGaming
By Justin OneilPixel Ripped 1978 is another great entry in the franchise and brings a lot of Atari love to the show. The story and characters were enjoyable, the game is full of fun retro easter eggs, and jumping between the two worlds was unique and fun.
Skewed & Reviewed
By Gareth von KallenbachThis is a must for any Atari fan and fan of the Pixel Ripped series and is a must-own for any PSVR2 owner who remembers the days of classic gaming.

By Gareth NewnhamPixel Ripped 1978 is a fun look back to a special time in the world of gaming that is as irreverent as it is entertaining.
oprainfall
By Leah McDonaldPixel Ripped 1978 is technically the third game in the series, but can easily be played without having played the other games. It’s fun, intuitive and a nice trip down memory lane, especially for those of us who grew up in the early days of gaming. It’s available on PSVR2, Meta Quest 2, and SteamVR, and well worth the $24.99 USD.
