Dec 15, 2016Stereo Aereo is rather a fun rose-tinted game that takes a simple, tried and true gameplay style and combines it with catchy tunes that will have you nodding your head as you play along. If you have a bit of spare change burning money in your wallet, you can't say no to a little 80's indulgence.

Dec 21, 2016Stereo Aereo is a fun rhythm-based game, at least most of the time. The visual presentation is appealing, but often hinders you in keeping the focus on your own ship due to all the effects in place. Also the amount of content in the game is rather slim.

Dec 23, 2016Satisfying fun with a great soundtrack at its best, visual mess with a great soundtrack most of the rest of the time.

Jan 13, 2017Stereo Aereo is a functional music game. While it has a very cool scoring method and control scheme, it’s ultimately plagued by unforgiving and frustrating gameplay plus a generic soundtrack. Play this one if you’re looking for a fun time-waster, but there are better titles to which you may rock out.

Dec 9, 2016There are plenty of little issues that add up to turn a junk pile into a landfill. Predictable dodge patterns, no checkpoints, visual alignment that’s harmful to gameplay, no ambient sound effects, the list really does go on forever.

Dec 20, 2016Dying due to confusing design rarely makes for good times, and this soured me on Stereo Aereo pretty damned hard. It’s unfortunate because I genuinely dig the overall aesthetic, and I definitely enjoyed the soundtrack. Even the relatively meager storyline has its high points. However, when the difficulty kicks into high gear, it all bubbles down into an overly busy, confusing and imprecise mess that I can’t wrap my head around.

Jul 9, 2020It's a short and okay game. Some timing mechanics could use some work, but overall not bad.
