Defunct Games reviews Boy Beats World by Duckbridge, available May 28 on PC, Mac and Linux.
While it's certainly not the deepest rhythm game you'll play, Boy Beats World is certainly one of the most charming. This is a fun and fast-paced adventure through a fascinating post-apocalyptic world controlled by evil machines. Equipped with only a drum and a talking radio, the boy sets out to play music, dance and, maybe if he's lucky, save humanity. The compelling concept is undermined a bit by linear stages and shallow gameplay, but a satisfying ending and a great presentation helps make Boy Beats World an easy recommendation. This game needs an encore.
