Dyad’s brilliantly eccentric design and simplistic, addictive gameplay might earn it quite a few unfair comparisons to other, vaguely similar titles such as Audiosurf, Rez, or likewise fantastically delusionary games. Showing people screenshots and videos might prove to be alluring, but once you get your hands on the actual game, it does the best job of defining itself.
As you play through, that definition will continue to evolve, constantly developing the gameplay in a way that’s always decidedly simplistic, yet maniacally challenging. Call it a racing game, call it a puzzler or a musically-inclined faux hallucigenic trip; whatever you end up calling Dyad, it’ll assuredly be a unique experience.
Hardcore Gamer - This week’s Steam sale has gone live and it’s one of the best ones offered up in quite a while.

Hi everyone! We’ve got a serious Flash Sale for you over the next couple days, with more than 20 games available for just $0.99 each. The Flash Sale starts right now, so head over to PlayStation Store and snap up some awesome games to play this summer.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I wasn't completely won over by Dyad from Right Square Bracket Left Square Bracket. Don't get me wrong — I totally appreciate that the developer took a risk and attempted to make something vastly different from a lot of what's out there. That said, it was hard for me to fully enjoy what Dyad had to offer because I simply didn't think it was deep or rewarding enough.
