Dead as Disco

Dead as Disco

Release Date: May 5, 2026
-14.7

Latest Review

Sami-Jo Perruzza at A Gaming Network

May 12, 2026 | Score 85

“Dead as Disco already feels like a game that knows exactly who it is. The vibe is excellent, the combat feels good, and when everything locks together on beat, it gives that exact satisfied feeling rhythm game fans chase. It is not a walk in the park, though, and that difficulty actually works in its favor because it makes the victories feel earned. Even in Early Access, this is the kind of game I’d keep coming back to because the style, music, and gameplay loop all hit the right note. With so much more on the developer timeline, I am DOWN for some more disco.”

“SoulQuest knows exactly where it shines and puts all of its efforts into that. Combat is the game's biggest highlight, successfully capturing the essence of hack and slash titles. However, it stumbles in areas such as level design, platforming sections, and early-game balancing. Even so, SoulQuest is sure to please fans of stylish combat and deep combo systems, making it an experience well worth checking out.”

“In no moment did I feel annoyed whilst playing This Is Fine: Maximum Cope, to my absolute surprise. It was a competent, somewhat well-designed metroidvania, with decent level design and boss battles to make up for underwhelming visuals and a generic combat system. Is it my favorite metroidvania? No. I also doubt I would have ever considered playing it if it wasn’t for this reviewing opportunity, as I have zero interest in the meme that inspired the game as a whole. But I’ll be honest with you: I expected a LOT less from it.”

The title stands strong on the brilliance of its deep fusion mechanics and a compelling, well-written revenge narrative. However, clunky interface issues, a lack of clear direction, and the absence of a Portuguese translation hold the game back from reaching its full potential.”

عساف القرشي at Eternal Games

May 13, 2026 | Score 75

“Saros is a visually stunning technical experience that puts you in the heart of an addictive, relentless combat chaos. The game excels in providing gameplay that is among the best in its class, making full use of the PS5's capabilities to give you a real feeling of every shot and every explosion. Despite the fun of combat, the game falls into the trap of repetition due to the limited enemy types and the weakness of the Roguelite systems, which do not offer strong incentives for replayability as in competing games. Additionally, the story—which began with an ambitious scope—falters at its end. In short, if you are looking for a game to showcase your console's power and enjoy a solid and fun gameplay experience for hours, Saros is an excellent choice. However, if you expect more from the story or variety in enemies and Roguelite elements, you may feel some disappointment halfway through.”
