    There are better rhythm games out there, but people who like the genre are going to find a solid title here; people who like Avicii’s work are going to find a solid title here; and people who like to see a lot of colours, lights and sounds while cruising a spaceship to music—at breakneck speed or as casually as they want—will want to check this one out, too.

    Avicii Invector is a musical marvel. It offers yet another opportunity to remember Tim Bergling’s remarkable talent and engage with his music in new ways. There are a couple of low notes, but it’s an enjoyable experience overall.

    Ultimately, the move to Switch makes sense for AVICII Invector Encore Edition, and it is a successful one at that - guided by Tim “AVICII” Bergling’s love for the genre. If you have the option, I’d recommend the console version of the game as a first choice, but if you’re someone who is constantly on-the-go (as much as one can be “on-the-go” right now), then AVICII Invector Encore Edition will be well-worth adding to your Switch library.

Invector is a unique rhythm game that’s endlessly playable, delivering a consistent stream of pure joy throughout. Hello There Games deserves heaps of praise for creating a heartfelt experience just oozing quality and demonstrating deep respect for the source materials and it’s once-in-a-generation artist. Invector is a perfect game for Switch, a port that mercifully delivers Avicii’s tracks in high fidelity audio with no obvious dynamic range compression or other mood killing artifacts. Put on a pair of headphones and drop into this gift of sensory nirvana that memorializes the legacy of a star who burned bright and left us too soon. If you’re a music lover, Avicii fan, rhythm game player or a human being, this is a must buy.… Full Review »

Ever since I was a small child, Avicii has been one of my favorite artists of all time. As with millions of other people across the world, his songs have spoken to me in a way that cannot be described with words. His passing away in 2018 hit me very hard. However, I will always remember Tim Bergling in my heart for all they joy he has brought me with his songs.

    When I first heart about this game, I was very skeptical. But upon doing research I found out that Avicii was working on this game for a long time. Today I got to play it for the first time and it is insanely fun. This is my first rhythm type game and I enjoyed every second of it. All the songs are Avicii's biggest hits over the years, and it was beautiful to listen to them again while flying a spaceship through beautiful landscapes.

    Obviously, the best part of Invector is the music itself. Avicii's songs are universally loved, and even if you are not a gamer you will have a great time playing this. I think it is worth to play it, and I am glad this project saw the light of the day. RIP Tim Bergling, I will always remember you.
