UNBEATABLE

存粹而真挚，对上电波了

i ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cried playing ts

its loads of fun

There's Do No Harm in the arcade mode. 20/10

this is a game about losing you way and finding your voice a game about loss about grief this isn't just about beating up cops and fascists its about finding yourself

It's kind of weird to put the settings only in the main menu and not in gameplay

amazing game

Video games have entered my life even before I was born. My mum and her best friend played Pokemon Red & Blue during their pregnancies. Upon birth I was gifted her copy of Pokemon red, my sister got yellow and my mum's friend's son got blue. Looking back, it does seem like the backstory of an anime, and that's what it felt like. For me it was always clear: finish school, study something with computers, and make games. I loved games. Playing games, talking about them, trying to help my friends finish Zelda by writing instructions on flash cards during lunch breaks. During university, I was building small games in my free time, participated in tiny competitions and showed off my games to friends and family. But at some point in university I got caught up in reality. Studying took a toll on my physical and mental health, the video game industy looked like stress, bad pay and crunch time. Like an abuse of passionate people. I ended up becoming an embedded software developer, with good pay and lots of vacation. I found a sweet apartment, a lovely girlfriend. But occasionally, I would end up lying in bed and just think about what the ♥♥♥♥ I was doing with my life. Playing Unbeatable is like a 15-hour injection of this bittersweet feeling. Realizations of regret, anger, melancholy and acceptance will hit you like a truck. Unbeatable will make you confront feelings that you had hidden inside you for years. This game can be about music. But this game can be about loss. This game can be about pursuing dreams only to fall short. It can be about the difficulties of having no friends or the difficulties of having friends. It can be about family and obligations, about growing up in a world in which you have seemingly no control and are not allowed to live life like you want. This game is a mirror. Nothing triggered so many sensations and so much passion in me, chewing me through and spitting me out, feeling exhausted, empty, beat. But also: passionate. It's like a reset of your emotions, putting you through all the stages that you had in your life but forgotten about. At this point I should probably leave some words about the gameplay, but honestly if any of this resonates with you, then you should give it a try. Unbeatable is a two button rhythm game. It's actually a pretty decent rhythm games with varying mechanics, different modes of play ('standard', fighting, escaping, baseball?) that can overlap within a song to create complex dynamics that can get very complex. However to me that's not even the point. Unbeatable is a story rich experience with great original songs, clever and witty dialogues with amazing voice acting. It is raw and authentic, daring in its story telling, with layers of metaphors that make you ponder but easy enough to grasp its concepts to not feel lost. You will find characters you love, characters you see yourself in and characters you hate. All of this comes packaged with some of the best art I have seen in a while. There is truly no game like it and you should play it. Excuse me but I have to go and create video games.
