Early Access Review
I don't normally indulge in rhythm games. The only one I would say I frequently play and have somewhat become adept in is Cytus on my tablet. I stumbled upon this game while browsing early access titles on sale, and what intrigued me the most was A) the art style, and B) the fact that you play with songs from your own library. Mainly the latter. So I was pretty excited to pick it up.

At first I was a little wonky, as per usual whenever I delve into a rhythm game for the first time. I was a bit disappointed that there was no real tutorial in the game, however. There is a "how to play" guideline that somewhat helps you get started, but I feel like a tutorial would have been a more hands-on experience. I certainly hope they'll add one in the future.

But with that aside, once I got used to the controls, I had a lot of fun. A controller and keyboard are both viable methods of playing. It all comes down to your preferred play style and which would suit you the most. Personally I found both to be quite fun. You can also customize the difficulty, which I thought was handy. So if you ever think that the set difficulties are too easy or too hard, you can create one that's just right for you. It's quite impressive that the levels tailor themselves to whatever song you pick. One small detail that I really appreciated was, one of the songs I picked had a drop in it, and right before the drop there's this dramatic slow-motion sequence that I thought was really, really cool.

If you're a rhythm game connoiseur, then you will DEFINITELY enjoy this game. Heck, even if you're not, like me, chances are you'll probably enjoy it too.

Like I said, it pretty much adjusts to any genre of music you pick. It's quite brilliant.
