A science-fiction rhythm game developed Mad Fellows. Aaero does not offer an elaborate narrative layer, focusing on allowing the player to control a small ship hovering above ground and fight the enemies that appear on the screen. The ship’s movements can be controlled with the analog sticks. The player is tasked with following the precise track and sticking to a white ribbon, which boosts the score multiplier. Occasionally, the player has to face powerful bosses – fighting these foes revolves around weakening their armor and pieces of skeleton. The key to success lies not only in good reflexes and agility but also good hearing, as the gameplay is accompanied by an audio layer – the more aligned with the rhythm player’s actions are, the higher he scores.

PaRappa the Rapper Remastered is a remaster of the music game released on PlayStation in 1996 and on PSP ten years later. We play as the titular rapping dog who tries his best to win the heart of his crush, Sunny Funny. PaRappa is aided by his two friends, cat enthusiast Katy Kat and the chubby bear PJ Berri, in his musical stunts. Gameplay did not change at all and remains the same as in the original game: PaRappa has to do many things to impress Sunny Funny. All of that happens to the beat of music and requires the players to have a sense of rhythm and good knowledge of the game's controls. The biggest improvement introduced by the remaster are the game's visuals, which are now in much higher resolution. The game also allows us to use the DualShock 4 controller as a metronome.

Similarly to the previous installments in the series, the game mixes elements seen in managers, visual novels, and rhythm games. The player assumes the role of a producer, whose mission is to lead the careers of thirteen young idols that were sent to a special training camp.

The girls are sent to lessons and auditions, and can take part in concerts or special events after fulfilling all the prerequisites. Moreover, the story chapters enable us to get to know the girls better, which is especially important, as our relations also affect their achievements. We can improve the girls’ individual abilities by engaging in singing lessons that involve performing songs in a manner similar to what we could encounter in other rhythm games. Concerts take place in the exact same way. Aside from voice, the girls can also equip costumes that increase their abilities and presence of which further translates into a bigger number of fans. The game is characteristic for its high quality visuals, with three-dimensional cel-shaded models and fluent animations, as well as an extended soundtrack consisting of thirty features from the previous installments of the series and a number of brand new music tracks.
