Just Shapes & Beats
Berzerk Studio’s Just Shapes & Beats is still a staple at plenty of gaming conventions years after it launched in 2018 because it’s such an easy pick-up-and-play experience to dive into with friends. The bullet hell/rhythm game hybrid has you and your friends control small shapes plopped into a visualization of some banger EDM tracks, all while trying to avoid the chaotic obstacles that spawn to the rhythm and melody of the music. I’ve picked up Just Shapes & Beats with friends and colleagues at many a PAX and PlayStation Experience, and I imagine it’s just as much of a hectic hoot with a friend or two on the couch. It’s available for $13.99 as part of the Summer Sale.
If you’d rather not play games with others, the Summer Sale has a lot more to offer before it ends on August 15. Can I interest you in rightful Game of the Year 2023 Baldur’s Gate 3 for 20 percent off?
