Defunct Games reviews Centipede: Recharged by Atari, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC.
Centipede: Recharged is not interested in reinventing the long-running series or adding a bunch of nonsensical lore, and that's a good thing. This widescreen update to the classic arcade hit manages to excel by sticking close to the original roots. It has a vibrant art style, a fantastic electro soundtrack and all kinds of challenge stages to master. The standard arcade mode may be a bit shallow, but there's more than enough content in Centipede Recharged to warrant the ten-dollar asking price. Finally, a reboot that remembers what made the original game so much fun in the first place.
