Super Crazy Rhythm Castle (PS5) Review
Super Crazy Rhythm Castle is a neat little game so long as you see it as a party game akin to Overcooked or Moving Out instead of a true rhythm game. Reviewed on what it is intended to be, it’s a quality, fun little title for plenty of laughs for up to four friends.

Gal Metal (Switch) Review
Gal Metal subverts the expectations of a rhythm game by telling a slice-of-life style visual novel in between songs where there aren’t dedicated rhythms to follow: you just have to “feel the music.” This may throw off traditional music game enthusiasts but will provide plenty of fun for real drummers or people just looking to get in and have fun.
