UNBEATABLE

what the ♥♥♥♥ i don't want to cry

The story mode broke me. It came out at a time when I was in a deep depressive rut and didn't know how to move forward in my life nor what that moving forward looked like. Beat's story showed me what it meant to be human and what regaining the spark in my life practically looks like, and I owe d-cell the world for that. The Arcade mode is phenomenal. It's one of those "easy to learn, difficult to master" games, which encouraged me to push myself farther than I ever anticipated, reaching top 300 North America and top 600 global as of the writing of this review. If you want a story mode that is so though-provoking it changes your brain chemistry and an equally addictive arcade mode, you won't be disappointed, seriously.

Un juego de ritmo que no logra mantenerse en el ritmo. De antemano quería que me gustara: los personajes, el arte, los temas... todo es genial y muestra mucha personalidad, pero lastimosamente se siente muy verde aún. Técnicamente le falta mucho entre glitches visuales (la cámara se mueve de aquí para allá de la nada), diálogos que parecen faltar, escenas que se cortan abruptamente... y para mi lo peor: la parte rítmica. Hay muchas canciones y secciones que NO van de acuerdo a la canción y es desesperante; incluso hay canciones que en el modo historia son interferidas con globos de diálogo y rompen mucho las bolas. Ojalá se pueda pulir, pero mientras tanto solo se disfruta en cierta parte en el modo arcade.

Good

I wanted to recommend this game earlier, but it previously had issues with my main PC. Since then, the bug has been gone and I can now 110% recommend this game and would definitely also tell you to check out the soundtrack. Don't sleep on it :3 The story might be a bit choppy sometimes but don't go in with spoilers, I'd highly recc going in blind! For me I did, and the story ended up being very touching and moving for me. There were a lot of things I was able to process for my own stuff, and I really want to attribute that healing to this. The characters and art are really cool, and Beat and Quaver had such chemistry in dialog and felt pretty authentic. Sometimes silly or weird, or filler-y, but authentic. The game itself felt balanced of being very challenging with some charts and some very relaxed. This easily became one of my top 5 games, and I was so happy to experience it. The arcade poses great challenges and has more achievements in folios you can get, and especially if you're really good at rhythm games, you'll enjoy it!

peak need to get some memory loss so i can play again

UNBEATABLE is an amazing game. Frankly, I got it just because I love Jamie Paige’s music; however, the game surprised me a lot. Generally, rhythm games haven’t been my favorite (because I suck at them,) but UNBEATABLE’s accessibility allowed me to experience and love the game (I still suck btw.)

I haven't had a game make me cry this hard in a very, very, very, VERY long time. Jesus christ. Please play it. Holy ♥♥♥♥.
