Fresh Tracks

Fresh Tracks is a fantastic rhythm game with surprising story depth and incredibly catchy songs (I'm like 26 hours in and there are a bunch of songs that I can't wait to hear again and again). In a world where so many rhythm games rely on randomly generated charts , this game's carefully crafted levels are a breath of fresh air. Each song has multiple carefully thought out charts for different difficulties which, in combination with the compelling lore and beautiful visuals, make the game endlessly repayable.

The songs are good the gameplay is interesting but holy *** is the audio balance and visibility of this game atrocious. And on top of that some songs don't seem to even be synced to the visual track properly. they want fine dodging on higher songs but the timing is inconsistent with the beat or the song itself.

I don't normally like rhythm games, but this one is really fantastic. Unlike a lot of games in this genre, Fresh Tracks does gives enough variation and has roguelike elements that have every run feel exciting. It's clear that the developers put a lot of love into the visuals of the different levels that makes them feel unique but fit with the overall art style of the game. These visuals also mesh really well with the fantastic soundtrack, which I found myself singing along to while I played through the levels.
