I talk in my Thunder Force 5 review about coolness, and how that’s distinct from goodness. Little did I know I was so soon going to be playing yet another game that is so cool it just completely blew me away.

Every moment of this game had me just giggling and laughing out loud and saying “oh my GOD” because of how just rad it is. There’s always stuff going on in the background and the ships are SO NEAT and it’s just an absolute freaking joy to play.

I love that the HUD shakes when you’re in hyperspace!!

This game is an all-timer; it is essential playing.
