Rez Infinite is a game I only got because it was available for free during Sony’s Play at Home initiative in 2021. Most of the games provided required a PS VR, something I do not have and do not plan to get anytime soon because VR gaming does not interest me, but Rez Infinite was one of the few where the VR is optional. I downloaded it and it became another resident in Backlog Avenue. I decided to play it today, got the end credits, and thought it was decent.

The game reminded me of Vib-Ribbon except more psychedelic. I like the aesthetics and more games should go with this style of visuals. It is so different that it is beautiful.

When you research this game, numerous sites like Wikipedia describe the game as a “musical rail shooter,” but it is more of a rail shooter than anything. The music did not leave an impression on me. That could be due to me focusing on the rail shooting gameplay, which is addicting and kind of hectic. The game can get overwhelming with so much on screen and that can be detrimental.

With only 5 areas to go through, the game is short. I did die on the second and third area’s bosses, but I would not call the game ballbusting difficult. It is fairly challenging and the length of the stages is right in the middle of not being short or long.

I am not sure if this is worth the price. The game’s MSRP on the PlayStation Store is $29.99 USD and $24.99 USD on Steam. (The price could differ depending on where you live in the world. I live in the U.S., so I am going by USD.) Maybe wait for a discount or pick up another one of Enchance Games’ titles: Tetris Effect, a game I really like and I believe to be one of the best Tetris games.
