We won't waste your time rewording something that already exists, as Toby in the EtR pro review below has hit the nail on the head.
Puzzles made sense, theming nothing to write home about, enthusiastic hosts.

Their high-capacity branches with multiple copies of each game room are set up above all for corporate outings, and their games fall into that middle ground where they're not notably atrocious nor sufficiently high quality to stand out.

Parallax is a perfectly acceptable game, but I wouldn’t necessarily  recommend enthusiasts playing it at Center Parcs simply due to the price
