  • The music universe that’s still being developed a bit. It adds just a bit of some rpg elements to what’s basically a mindless audio/visual experience. The universe adds enough of a touch to keep me engaged on trying to take over systems and one up myself on them.

    Otherwise, it’s just a more polished experience. The models are 3D, the bosses feel a bit more menacing, and there’s some new stuff to keep my interest beyond just experiencing my music while enjoying explosions and flashing lights.

    That being said, it’s not a game I pick up daily to play. The visuals are overwhelming, especially on higher difficulties and my eyes aren’t getting any younger.



  • It is intentionally music based. Dj max has been a main stay in my life for the better part of 20 years, ever since I first found it on the PSP. The current iteration has a massive library of songs from collaborations to every single version I used to play on the bus.

    Beat hazard is asteroids with enemy spawns and weapons power based on the music track being played. I’ve been building quite a library of tracks for a very long time, so I get to work through albums. I’m very much stuck attempting to beat Infected Mushrooms “Vicious Delicious”.

    Rez was a game I adored on the dreamcast, and has become a full experience with the pcvr release Rez:Infinite. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes older techno and shmups.

    Jet grind radio, future, and the spiritual successor bomb rush cyber funk have each had such amazing soundtracks and intentionally goofy over the top police presence that it’s hard for me not to love. The newest one misses the mark a bit for me, but that soundtrack was made with all the original love.

    And auditorium had a demo out on browser a long while back, and it fills the puzzle vibe with much more thoughtful jams than my other options to put on here. I was thinking either Lumines or tetris effect, but at the end of the day I need to give a little love to my Philly game devs.
