I like to support small or new developers, especially when they create something that is truly a labour of love and I feel this is true for Metronomik with their debut game, No Straight Roads. The game is an action adventure based around Rock and EDM music. Whilst gorgeous to look at and sumptuous to listen to the gameplay is overly simplistic. However, the writing is witty, the characters are cute and well designed and the boss fights are pretty epic (if a bit bullet spongy). The game is about 6 hours long and worth your time as a pleasant diversion.
