X-Out: Resurfaced Review (The_Plague_dr_is_in)
I did not have playing x-out again on my 2025 bingo card but here we are
this is one of the best shmups of all time in my opinion right up there with games like R-type and Gradius
I used to love playing this back on the a500 when I was a kid and being able to select that music, hearing it in all its glory playing it the way it was meant to be played not saying the new music isnt great because its bloody fantastic but just hearing it again god it takes me right back, they say nostalgia is a hell of a drug well today I found a new dealer lol
only thing I don't like is the trainer butting in when you die like yea I know I suck ass and died I don't need you holding my hand going maybe some cheats will help I'd rather get the cheats for doing shit in the game like completing the hitless achievement not getting the cotton wool treatment because I crashed my fat ass into a pixel while trying to dodge a narrow gap
its a minor very minor criticism about what is a fantastic game and a trip down memory lane I think they have done an amazing job with this.
I absolutly 100% recomend this to anyone who loved the 80s/90s shmups scene it will scratch that itch
