Critic Reviews
Challenging Music Rhythm Game Excellence
Back when the PlayStation Vita was in its prime, there was a music rhythm game released for it that was as mesmerising as it was difficult.

The systems of gradual difficulty coupled with great music solidify this title as one of excellence. We haven’t been able to put down SuperBeat: Xonic since it released on the Vita in 2015, and as a result of this it’s a commendable addition to the PS4 library apart from some input lag (which can easily be fixed by going into the settings and calibrating it). While lacking the portable aspects of the original, the ability to plug in some expensive headphones or utilise a home theater system is a mandatory experience if you’ve only played the Vita version, as the astonishingly high quality of the music and visuals deserve to be played in the biggest way possible.

An extremely challenging rhythm game that fans of DJMax will adore. It is no fault of Superbeat: Xonic itself, but the asymmetrical design of the Switch controls means this can take some getting used to, particularly if having played extensively on PS Vita or elsewhere, but being able to play in tablet style with touch controls and the Joy-Con removed eradicates that entirely. The only problem at time of writing is that the touch controls seem bugged. A patch is on the way, which will hopefully mean Xonic will be an essential purchase for Switch rhythm fans.
