It is two seemingly unrelated things, The Artful Escape. On the one hand, it is a grounded story about accepting yourself, even if that means defying other people’s vision of you. The other side is a bizarre musical exploration through the psychedelic depths. Although they may seem like opposites, both the absurd and relatable elements of this interstellar epic complement each other and work well together. While the Xbox Game Pass title has rhythm games and light platforming, the gameplay is not what makes this game stand out. The adventure is more about the exploration of both terrestrial and alien levels while playing a powerful solo guitar. With a stellar cast, including Jason Schwartzman, Carl Weathers and Lena Headey, the performances will have you believing you are on an adventure to turn into a galaxy rock star.Our Review |Our Review

The unique mechanic does more than just add to the story. It allows you, Benjamin Brynn (a newly deceased person), to look back on your past while being transported to the afterlife.Our Review You force the game to jump through the protagonist’s personal history by blinking, even if you didn’t mean to. This creates an immersive sensation, unlike other titles where you are experiencing these flashbacks the way the main character really would and sometimes wishing it hadn’t gone by so quickly. |Our Review
