  The songs, like the original 15, are also EDM and sound just as catchy. Aaero is a small and simple game but it sure packs a punch. With stunning visuals, responsive buttons, and remarkable EDM tunes, Aaero truly delivers a fantastic experience that incorporates music with rail-shooting action.

  Only in one song did I have trouble separating obstacles from the background, and after a couple attempts things clicked. As I’ve said you’re mileage with the music will vary but it fits the visual design very well, and the whole thing feels very polished. Whether you never left the rhythm genre or are looking for a way back in, Aaero is a thrilling title that’s likely even better if you enjoy the music.

  In short, I think the best thing Aaero has going for it is its song selection. While it may not be extensive and bring hours upon hours of enjoyment, Aaero does highlight the best of the EDM genre during the height of its popularity. This doesn’t mean I hate everything else in the game — far from it. I enjoy the controls, the gameplay, and the graphics but I think they don’t do anything to stand out or are wildly inconsistent with each other.

  8.0

  It takes a little while for Aaero’s mechanics and its combo system to click, but once they do there are fewer better rhythm games out there. Its fantastic soundtrack exudes cool from every pore, and the way it integrates with gameplay (while running beautifully smoothly while docked) makes it one of the most immersive experiences you’ll find on the Switch.

  7.0

  All things considered, Aaero is an enjoyable game, though not one you’re going to sing and shout about. It has control issues that perhaps make it more challenging than it should be, but if you put in some time and effort, acclimatising yourself to its twitchy nature and awkward shooting mechanics, you can eke considerable life out of it.

  9.0

  With each failed attempt others were eager to take up the torch and try to get further. Everyone was either excited to play, happy to watch, or just jamming out to the music. While Aaero has a small scope and limited replay-ability it is an experience unlike any other. Whether you play one of the various difficulty modes or the relax playing the Chillout mode, this is a great game worth experiencing for yourself.
