Rez – это ритм-шутер, в котором игрок управляет аватаром, проникающим в компьютерную сеть для восстановления поврежденной системы искусственного интеллекта. Геймплей строится на уничтожении врагов и объектов, появляющихся на пути аватара. Каждое уничтожение сопровождается музыкальными семплами, которые синхронизируются с основным треком, создавая уникальный синестетический опыт. Игрок перемещается по виртуальным уровням, используя прицел для захвата целей и последующего их уничтожения. Возможность захватывать несколько целей одновременно позволяет создавать более сложные ритмические паттерны. По мере прохождения игрок получает доступ к новым формам аватара, каждая из которых обладает уникальными способностями и визуальным стилем. Успешное прохождение уровней восстанавливает поврежденные участки системы ИИ, постепенно раскрывая историю.
Gen-AI controversy aside, Crazy Taxi: World Tour feels like classic arcade Sega - and it's an absolute blast Cabby fever. Crazy Taxi was not my favourite Dreamcast game (please don't ask me to choose between the triumphant rhythm triptych of Rez, Space Channel 5, and Samba de Amigo, however), but there's a specific bit of it that's forever seared into my brain: the giddy thrill of cresting over that one San-Francisco-inspired hill and barreling down toward the ocean, all while The Offspring's All I Want 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah'ed me into a state of gaming nirvana. As a moment, it's the kind of perfect melding of style and blissful arcade purity that seemed to define so much of Sega's Dreamcast-era output. And my recent half-hour hands-on with the upcoming Crazy Taxi: World Tour at Gamescom suggests the original's 90s skate-punk spirit and taut arcade thrills are - if perhaps not equal - alive and well in this, Sega's long-awaited revival.

At a time when game file sizes are growing ever larger and disk space is astonishingly expensive, I increasingly appreciate the value of a small game. And they don't come much smaller than TinySol, a solitaire game so diminutive that it can be loaded from a QR code. TinySol is the creation of vintage computer enthusiasts Classic Bits, and was stumbled upon by YouTuber LGR Blerbs at the VCF Southwest convention in Texas. In the dot matrix-style manual that accompanies the hard copy, developer Classic Bits explains "I originally wanted a tiny game to shoehorn into ROM images for GRiD computers and that would leverage the sharp 640x400 AT&T 6300 monochrome video." Weighing in at a paltry 3 kilobytes, TinySol lets players enjoy three-card Klondike Solitaire with simple black & white graphics.
