AVICII Invector

This game is an auto-buy for fans of Tim Bergling (Avicii), but what about those of us who know nothing about him? Firstly, the music is very good and it does lend itself very well to this kind of game. If, like me, you weren't a fan of Tim Bergling, chances are you will be after playing a few tracks. Visually, the neon sweet and crisp, and you see what you need to see clearly. Your attention is on the markers, so peripheral details would have been useless. What you need is the mood, and the game delivers that. It's fairly unique in how forgiving it is. There's practically no way to fail. If you crash, you just respawn a bit before where you crashed. So your only pressure is to rack up enough points to unlock the next batch of tracks. It's not very hard, but it's not boring either because your attention is constantly needed. The one flaw that I found is that occasionally, the markers aren't well aligned with the rhythm of the music, so if you get into a pattern where the music drives your reflexes, you may miss a marker or two. You have to sync with the visual cues, not with the music. Again, that's not very hard because you have to pay attention to those cues anyway to know what to do, but it can be distracting to be off the music's beat. Maybe it's not a bug but a feature to trip you up if you get lazy. Overall, it's an odd, but pleasant blend of adrenaline and relaxation and much better than you'd expect from a game that's riding on the coattails of a defunct artist's popularity. I'd go so far as to say that it's my favorite rhythm game in my collection.

The main cartoon character (who is the anti-goth-Lofi girl) is stuck on a quest to find her chocolate bar with almonds. She is constantly struggling with this loss, and needs to find her way back home, but needs to rediscover herself in the process. The allegories, metaphors, allusion she grips with; from death, to grieving through the music (as she sits on each worlds ledge vibing through her headphones to Tim Bergling), and the eventual path back home was an emotional journey like no other. This had me crying by the end needing desperately to finish the OBLIVION world with HEAVEN(Chris Martin-Coldplay in the Bright Cut) to see how this journey ends and my sense was that this was Tim's rebirth, an homage to his passion without restraints. He dealt with so many struggles (ultimately the demons winning), like so many of us, and I felt within my soul. Each failure of "HEAVEN" my way of feeling closer, to something ethereal. The culmination to my own journey ending, and through it I felt the cold harsh reality of all the people who've died in my life, awash with even more emotion thinking of those lost to us all (Malcolm McCormick, Jarad Higgins, etc) and their inspiration and light. This truly is one of the most moving games I've played. Its identity, its symbolism, its roots, and its heart and soul. I felt every lyric, every rhythm, vocal. This game is truly one of kind.
