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. It is also a musical journey through the psychoedelic depths space. They may appear at odds but the interstellar epic’s fanciful, relatable parts work in tandem and support each other. Although the title is available on Xbox Game Pass, it has some light rhythm and platforming elements. However, its gameplay isn’t the main attraction. 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
