I’m not sure how opinion will break down here, but one of the coolest bits of NSR to me is that it’s got a beat to play to but isn’t actually a rhythm game. Motronomikhave saidthey want you to “get the excitement of a rhythm game but without the pressure of following the beat.”
I love watching folks play rhythm games and seeing everything work to a beat but I’ve not been no good at them since my long gone days of Dance Dance Revolution. A game that works with a beat I’m meant to understand but am not forced to perform to seems perfect.
Whether you’re in the same camp or a rhythm game pro, you can try out No Straight Roads in afree demo. The Mother & Child Demo takes you through NSR’s first boss fight.
No Straight Roads will release on August 25th over on theEpic Games Store.
