Neon Drive
An 80’s Love Letter That Just Falls Short
Don’t let my “Not Recommended” rating dissuade you - Neon Drive is the most intense, addicting, visually arresting rhythm game that I sadly cannot recommend outright to everyone. It’s at times like these that I wish I had a different option other than a simple “Yes/No” answer. This game is good - very good in fact - but it has problems that prevent it from being great. If you love rhythm games, challenging difficulties, or the 80’s aesthetic then you’ll probably love this game as much as I do. However, if not then don’t let this game be your introduction.

I had fun with this game but can’t recommend it due to issues that make the hard/insane difficulties far more difficult than they really need to be.
The plane level has a loop that basically doesn’t interact with the music at all, forcing you to just figure it out via trial and error.
The falling traffic section has cool music that doesn’t help you in any way. It’s just falling enough times to memorize a safe path through.
The Robot level has a series of hurdles that require the first jump made be well timed. There is no useful music for the first jump, in fact there’s a misleading series of notes that will get you killed if you use them. The following hurdles all have super useful notes to help, but this doesn’t matter if your first jumps timing is off, you’ll die on the later hurdles if it is. ((I guess it’s possible to ajdust your timing between hurdles, but that’s like, tasbot levels of reaction time. Not what rhythm games are about)) This problem exists on other levels, but it’s not as pronounced as it is in the robot level, due to its unique mechanics.

Riff Racer - Race Your Music!
Riff Racer, previously called Drive Any Track, is basically Audiosurf without the match-3 puzzles. You load up a song from your hard drive, and the game generates a unique track for you to drive through, letting you compete for high scores with anyone else who’s played the same track.
The controls and presentation are simply sublime. Racing feels like F-Zero with its high speeds and crazy jumps; you really have to pay attention to the shape of the upcoming track if you don’t want to wipe out. The smooth animation and futuristic visual style is wickedly awesome as well.

Riff Racer, what a game. To be honest, I did not expect it to be so good. This is one of those games that you put your music into and they generate a racing track, which fits the music. Even though it’s in Early Access, it does its job better than other game of the same genre.
Below the final verdict is the complete list of music that I’ve played for this review.
Pros:
-
Terrific surroundings (skyscrapers, spotlights, etc.)
-
It does a really good job at converting the music into the track you are driving on. The drops are amazing, boost pickups are synchronised with the beats and even landings fit the music!

CosmoDrive:Infinity
Fun and challenging game to get all achievements in and get a better score than your friends.
There’s a few “beauty blemishes” but knowing the developer a revision will most likely be made at some point.
This game was build on top of its predecessor CosmoDrive:Zero and that may also be the reason for someone to buy the game, to support the developer and it may serve as a timeline piece of their skill improvements.

SnowRocket
SnowRocket is a single snowmobile race for the best time.
The track is tricky enough and will probably play against you.
Trees and animals, sharp turns and other obstacles.
Race for the best score with other players.
Show who is really the best here!
Currently only one racing track is available in the game.
The game in a prototype state now. There is still plenty of work ahead.
Feedback and review and suggestions from players will help determine the priorities for the development of the game.
Ultratank
Absolutely a waste of a dollar, There’s no rhythm whatsoever, and every level shares the same song. You can tell how the levels look, and are, just by looking at the menu screen, and I’m not saying they’re good either, I guess they do their job, but nothing is special about them, the dev just wants you to play this for as long as possible, hence the multiple levels. This game is obviously a cash grab, and it’s upsetting. Don’t buy this.
