This game is pretty fucking good. Dark, trippy and menacing.

They've only just released gameplay footage, and it's at GDC and PAX, but I've played it for the IGFs for the last couple of years (and it is up for an award this year).

One to keep an eye on.

Thought it was a Bambi spin-off. Disappointed now.

Brian Gibson from Lightning Bolt is involved in developing this, it should be pretty good.

Yep, him and a former Harmonix guy.

They're both ex-Harmonix. Unless Gibson is still with them, I'm not sure - they've definitely both worked for Harmonix previously, though.

Oh that might be it then.

Looks good. Looks good. Hope it's coming to PS4.

This is excellent. It's not the same type of game as Beat Saber, as it has levels and progression instead of individual songs, but it still makes you feel like a badass when you nail sections. I've just finished level 4 of 9 and it's already pretty hard.

VR really does enhance it too.

I fucking suck at this on the Switch.

It's not easy. I finished level 5 earlier and it's definitely getting on the hard side now.

Be Excellent To Each Other
