2011 PlayStationXbox

  • Lavish presentation
  • Distinctive, stylised art style
  • Sci-fi setting

A rhythm-driven rail shooter by Tetsuya Mizuguchi where music, light and color blend into a synesthetic trip. You lock on and fire in time with the beat at abstract enemies across psychedelic cyberspace worlds.

Rez

Distinctive, stylised art style

A rail shooter where every shot becomes part of the electronic soundtrack. Abstract neon visuals, rhythm and sound merge into a hypnotic trip through a computer network.

Smash Hit

Gameplay comes before story

A hypnotic rail shooter where you hurl metal balls at glass obstacles while gliding through minimalist, glowing rooms. The rhythm of aiming and shattering feels both relaxing and challenging.

Cyber Hook

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 3D platformer set in a neon retrowave world, where you swing with a grappling hook, run along walls and slow time to race through short, speedrun-style levels. Precision and momentum matter far more than story or character growth.

Mega Man 11

Challenging difficulty

The classic run-and-gun platformer returns with a fresh 2.5D look: you beat Robot Masters, take their weapons and tackle tight, precise stages. The new Double Gear system lets you slow time or boost your firepower.

Tempest 2000

Challenging difficulty

A fast arcade tube shooter where you glide a claw-shaped ship around the rim of neon geometric levels, blasting waves of enemies. Pounding techno music and particle effects turn this update of the classic into an intense reflex test.

Race the Sun

Distinctive, stylised art style

A fast arcade runner where you pilot a solar-powered craft through procedurally generated landscapes, racing to outlast the sunset. Simple controls, tight dodging and a high-score focus make for addictive short runs.

Shatter

Gameplay comes before story

A modern take on brick-breaking where your paddle can pull and push the ball with physics-based force, mixed with boss fights and an electronic soundtrack.

Beat Saber

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A VR rhythm game where you slash colored blocks in the right direction to the beat with two lightsabers. It feels like part dance, part workout, easy to pick up but demanding on higher difficulties.
