A fun, short, surprisingly difficult and well put-together experience with a goofy theme that might throw off some. The genre shift for the last sections was a little surprising, but still worked pretty well. The Examtaker anniversary content was also good and might as well be a sequel, and the final encounter of that was probably the highlight of the whole game for me. Wasn't a huge fan of the laser timing puzzles in this section though. Also, great music throughout.

A fun, very polished little tech demo for the DualSense and a love letter to PlayStation history. I wasn't a big fan of most of the gimmick parts of each level (monkey swinging, rocket, spring), but it was still a nice world to explore that clearly had a lot of care go into it and is worth checking out for all new PS5 owners.

A pretty fun start to the series, if a bit inconsistent. Some of these are surprisingly robust for the first entry in the series and a handful had songs that might stick with me (both Ondos, Tap Trial, Karate Man as always, maybe Clappy Trio, etc), but overall there were a number of misses or duller games in here. Still a charming entry for what it is, and lets you see the roots of what is to come (Spaceball >= Exhibition Match from Fever).
