Xotic is an arcade-style first-person shooter where you rack up huge scores by shooting enemies, detonating chain reactions, and discovering secret power-ups and point multipliers. Armed with a weaponized symbiotic creature called the Macroterra, you must cleanse the evil presence and re-plant the seeds of life on a planet ravaged by the minions of the Orb.

This is absolutely one of those games that has all the ideas in the trunk from the oddball art style to the collection mechanics and overall bendy plot... But the problem is that it floods all those ideas across the screen all at once and demands speedy reaction times, while assaulting your eyes with UI elements, particle effects and providing peashooter weapons that feel watered down in comparison to everything around it.
Thrown in enemies that often blend in with their surroundings and the whole thing just feels a lot harder than it really should be. The entire game hinges on score-chasing, speed clearing and accuracy and none of this works in its favour for the thing its wanting to achieve.
