In this neon-drenched take on the classic, you’ll need to literally break through each puzzle by clearing bricks to breach the final goal. Longer play will rack up a combo and increase the intensity of the effects creating a spectacular light show as a reward for the most skilled players.

    Each of the 72 levels will push your skills to the limit, but you won’t be without help. A focus mode will allow you to slow down time at the expense of your score.

    Breakout Beyond is a fantastic remake of a timeless classic. Choice Provisions has done a remarkable job recreating the authentic look and feel of the original game while adding just enough new things to attract today’s gamers. I really enjoyed my time with this and i do believe you will as well, whether you are a classic gamer or looking for a decent challenge. This is one remake / reimagining of a classic game that I highly recommend and I hope that more are on the way!

    With its boring initial stages out of the way, Breakout Beyond really amps up the fun factor with its clever use of power-ups and gimmicks.

    Breakout Beyond carries a legacy that is hard to ignore. Even though it changes the meaning of a nearly 50-year-old formula, it is still an addictive game that will always make players want to try again in that boring level. The new perspective and intense visual details may make it a bit difficult to assimilate this model, but those who enjoy an old-school challenge will not be disappointed.

    This blend of strategy and dexterity results in an experience that is consistently interesting to see and hear, but not always as engaging to participate in. While the mechanics complement the aesthetics, I never felt as though these elements were as in sync in my hands as they were on the screen. Victory often felt arbitrary in Breakout Beyond, and though my skills did develop over the course of my journey, I never felt as though they factored into my success or failure.

    Breakout Beyond updates the classic formula to make it interesting where Atari's prior attempts at modernisation stumbled. But it's let down by the lack of leaderboards in its main mode, and a potential slog to unlock the hidden modes which offer more challenge.
