Spin Rhythm XD, with its tapping, flicking, and tracing mechanics, lowers that barrier of entry without dumbing down its design. Even though it involves far less of the button tapping that is the hallmark of other rhythm titles, it’s every bit as engaging as its contemporaries. If this is your first time playing a rhythm game, I’m envious. If you’re an old pro at them, get ready for something different but very enjoyable. [Early Access Impressions]

Spin Rhythm XD is up there with the more interesting accessory-less rhythm games of recent years, earning a spot next to the likes of Thumper and the Amplitude reboot. If you’re eager to jump in, it’s very playable now despite only just releasing into Early Access.
