    If you’re a sucker for side-scrolling shooters with a penchant for a difficulty level that fluctuates between clever and fun to sadistically relying on twitch control and memorisation, Rive: Ultimate Edition might be a game to keep you busy for the 6-8 hours it provides.

    Awesome twin stick shooter. Great a/v, fast paced action, smooth and polished.

    And yeah, you basically do the same thing over and over. Just like in about 90% games out there. Lets see - sports games - you play sport, tetris - you arange blocks, fighting games - you fight. And in shooter games you shoot enemies and try to surviwe. Nothing wrong with that.
