On it's own, the songs here would make a very good concept album, but the game goes into great lengths to make them feel as tangible, meaningful and stimulative as they can be. The art style is striking and decisive, and it is presented in a very sleek and eye-catching manner. Combined with very well-made animations and transitions, it results in a collection of visual entities that are as alive and full of personality as the songs they accompany. Gameplay-wise, it is not to be beaten by its audiovisual compatriots in terms of variety and excitement. Each level adds their own fun gimmicks into the mix, mostly for the better, and the game handles the expected escalation of difficulty quite well. While some levels are just less enjoyable than the others, the asymmetry of this aspect is nothing unnatural, and there is always something interesting here, even in its worst parts. Whether it's during the movement sections or the QTE prompts, the controls themselves are more than good enough to let you be fully immersed in the experience. As a whole, this is a very charming game that will easily pull you back in after you beat it.
