I have both . They ' re both fun for different reasons and , honestly , they ' re fairly different games . Pierhead Arcade , obviously , has more of a traditional arcade vibe and typical arcade games . It also is roomscale and offers multiplayer . Carnival Games VR has a completely different vibe , being set in a carnival . It has lots of typical carnival games , a very typical carnival vibe complete with a guy yelling at you at each game . It doesn ' t have multiplayer and isn ' t roomscale . Basically , if you want roomscale , definitely get Pierhead . If you want multiplayer , again , get Pierhead . If you don ' t get about multiplayer or roomscale , get Carnival Games , if for nothing else , because of the absolutely amazing and super fun atmosphere . Carnival Games had me giggling like a fucking schoolgirl when I first played it . It has a super happy atmosphere . If you have enough money , I ' d definitely get both , but if you can only afford one , then just see the above paragraph for what features you ' re looking for , to determine which to get .
