Hyper Demon
If you can get through just 30 minutes of Hyper Demon without wanting to hurl, it’s well worth the trip. Developed by Sorath, the indie team behind 2016’s stunning Devil Daggers, the score-chasing arena shooter is trippy, haunting, and unrelentingly intense. It’s about killing monsters as fast as you can with runs that last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, but a transcendent interplay of sound, space, shapes, and color make it feel more like jumping between dimensions than slaughtering hordes in a small, dark box.
