I am completely smitten with the world of Wax Heads. It has so much to offer, and it feels like a game that was made for me and my particular tastes. The game delivers on all fronts, especially as an innately human experience, much like music itself. And like a good record, this game elevates your day by spending time with it, getting in touch with its intricacies, and allowing itself to open up to you.

Wax Heads is the new game for those who enjoy cozy life/job simulator games, with heartwarming stories and stunning visuals woven throughout. I can truly see this game becoming a huge part of discussions around cute, stylized, relaxing video games, as well as a big name in the cozy gaming community. Patattie Games is definitely one to watch, and I can’t wait to see what dynamic duo Somerwolff and Tome create next.

Wax Heads is more than just record sales behind a counter. It's about human and musical connection with great writing and characters, backed by a very good soundtrack, I'll be playing for months to come!

Wax Heads makes you feel like you are part of this safe, wholesome, creative world of Repeater Records, surrounded by alternative and queer folk who just want to keep rockin’ as long as they can. Finding records for people is fun, but also challenging, so you’ll have to not only scour Repeater’s records, but watch cutscenes, search through your apps, and pay attention to the customer’s vibe. For someone who grew up in 90s indie record stores, longing to hear something that would change my teen life, Wax Heads really cultivates an atmosphere of curiosity, love and respect for musical communities, and how much better music is when it involves human connection.

Wax Heads is an impressive achievement. It delivers a great mix of varied music, great record graphical design, exquisite fictional critical texts, and narrative. The universe built around Repeater Records is a lovely one, filled with cool customers and interesting co-workers. Make sure to unlock and play all the songs that were specifically recorded for the game.

Wax Heads ultimately shares the same central conflict as Empire Records, in which an independent shop is at risk of being bought up by a soulless corporation, but the interactive elements of this game really emphasize just how much there is to lose beyond one’s job. Music conjures powerful, immediate emotions, but it’s the game’s masterful story about how that music brings audiences together that produces all the lingering, magical feels.

If you're looking for a simple game with an engaging storyline, Wax Heads is the title for you. With its absurd plot and characters, and thanks to its rewarding and consistently entertaining gameplay, it effortlessly draws you into its world. However, the overall experience isn't without its flaws, particularly regarding the writing of certain characters, which could have been executed more convincingly.

Wax Heads is a great musical journey all about sticking together, making real art, and that friendship is punk rock. It’s for anyone who likes investigation and constantly looking for something new to listen to, don't skip this sleeper hit!

Wax Heads is a fun, but short, cozy narrative sim that puts you into the world of physical media via selling vinyls, which is actually seeing a resurgence in the real world. What starts as a charming new job with friendly coworkers turns into the story of how hobbies have to be balanced with real-world obligations and the reality of how corporate practices often hurt small businesses the most, taking away beloved features from towns. It's cute and a bit of a puzzle game, but I wish it lasted longer and gave me more options when speaking to characters, especially to ask follow-up questions regarding record requests.

En resumen, Wax Heads es de esos juegos que pueden parecer pequeños a primera vista, pero que esconden mucho más de lo que dejan ver. No se centra en la acción ni en la velocidad de reacción, sino en observar con atención, interpretar lo que tienes delante y conectar pequeñas pistas para avanzar, lo que le da un enfoque bastante particular dentro del género. Esa forma de plantear la experiencia hace que todo gire alrededor de la atención al detalle y de la lectura de personajes y situaciones, algo que encaja muy bien con su ambientación musical y su narrativa. En un medio que todavía arrastra ciertos prejuicios sobre lo que pueden o no pueden ser los videojuegos, propuestas así ayudan a ampliar un poco más esa idea, demostrando que también hay espacio para experiencias más pausadas, reflexivas y centradas en la interpretación del jugador.

Wax Heads is a gorgeous, short, beautiful game built around a simple and cozy gameplay loop. It captures the spirit of your local record shop and uses its cast of colorful characters to tell a confined, low-stakes story that will stay with you regardless. It’s a perfect game for those looking for a small, comfortable narrative experience, and the price is hard to argue with.

Wax Heads checks all the boxes with gusto. It takes the simple concept of recommending songs to people and transforms it into a clever puzzle game that not only revolves around knowing a bit about music, but also tests your logic and attention skills. Then, when the gameplay loop starts getting a bit samey, the game stops it for a while, transforms into a visual novel, and captivates you with a surprisingly well-written story until the next chapter starts.

Wax Heads pretende hacernos sentir bien. Para ello utiliza con acierto narrativo la música como elemento de conexión. La música fuera del algoritmo que no busca agradar sino sentirse nuestra, como si moldeara nuestra personalidad con cada nota y verso. En su propuesta jugable, maneja acertijos que resultan divertidos gracias al maravilloso lore creado alrededor de decenas de grupos ficticios que, a causa de una escasa variedad de los puzles, puede sentirse algo plano al final de la historia. Una historia que aguanta el tipo y que hace que queramos abrazar a cada uno de aquellos amigos que siguen creyendo en la música. Que siguen creyendo que el vídeo nunca mató a la estrella de la radio. Suena esperanzador.

If you are a music fan who loves vinyl, Wax Heads is still worth a spin. Just be aware there are a few scratches on the record that stop it from playing perfectly.

If you are looking for an interactive story-based cozy game, this is a rad choice. However, don’t expect much more from Wax Heads than a well-executed moral stand against an increasingly AI-loving, money-grabbing and overly-polished world of entertainment.
