    There are no two ways about this. Everyone needs to play Arc Squadron, and they need to play it now.

    It's obvious that Psyonix put a lot of care and effort into ARC Squadron and it certainly shows in all facets of the game. With a ton of content, smooth controls and visuals worth talking about, there's little to not enjoy about ARC Squadron.

    This is an addictive, long and hard game. Visually stunning and fun ARC Squadron is one of the best games in its genre we've seen this year, so if you like shooting aliens it's worth trying.

    Reminiscent of StarFox 64, but a bit more simplified. The game can begin to feel a little bit monotonous, but the ability to upgrade your ship and weapons plus some special levels and bosses mixed in keep it fun for a while.… Expand
