Denshattack!

You do a lot of insane and cool things with an skateboard-ish train, while meeting very likable characters, seeing insane artwork, listening to very excellent upbeat songs, and destroying data centers made my an AI... Especially fitting since everyone HATES data centers. It gives you a quick boost of energy, after 5 minutes of playing, and that can be enough, to get you through the day. When it even helps you to feel more energized in life, there is literally no excuse to go play this game. It's worth it even if not on sale. Heck, I will say it's a miracle it's this price, for how well-made it is.

One of the better games this year, and a rare genre as well: it is 100% pure arcade! One that is easy to pick up and forgiving enough to finish once, but with scoring that pushes the player further, collectibles, and dares that make your eyes go wide sometimes. Most importantly, the game can induce an immense flow state in you while being really fast and demanding at the same time. [h3]Better aspects:[/h3] [list] [*]Very fast but controllable and responsive. [*]Coherent styling and appropriate manga effect usage so the image feels alive. [*]The varied soundtrack, combined with the level design, creates a real mood. [*]Goofy storytelling with enough lore to make you follow it. [/list] [h3]But:[/h3] [list] [*]Some areas and transitions are sketchy. [*]There were a few out-of-bounds moments. [*]Late-game warnings are too late or non-existent, if you still need them. [/list] I don't know which game it is more closely related to: Sonic, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, or Subway Surfers - but I know for sure it is mesmerizing to play. [h2]Verdict: 100% achievements in ~30 hrs, a swollen thumb and drifting right stick.[/h2]
