As soon as this was shown at that Xbox Direct I had this god-gamer instinct that this was going to be something out of the ordinary. I went to backloggd to instantly put this on my wish list, to then realise: "wait, this comes out today".

This game is action-packed to the brim and never stops to surprise. It's highly concentrated with one moment looking very different from the one before.

It took a while for me to get a hang of how to make the most out of my arsenal. But before I knew it, it sat well with me. I guess it's those jazz genes of mine that came into play. The only thing really bothering me combat-wise is that the support cooldowns are way too short which kinda makes it less necessary to fight; as they are really powerful by themselves.

The 3D platforming segments felt really awkward at times as the jump is very short in forward momentum but triple that in height.

For being a rhythm game, it had a somewhat underwhelming soundtrack. It's your basic rock with guitar and drums, yeah that's it. At least you can feel the rhythm and follow it with ease.

The characters are charming and they got me to crack a few ”haHAA”s but they are at times a little cringe-y and cheesy.

I want to end this review by saying how admirable it is that this somewhat randomly dropped 30$ game pass game comes out more refined and polished than the majority of AAA games. Gg, snail developers! 🐌
