Beatbuddy Review – XboxOneUK

Music is often restricted to play just a bit part role in games: No matter how good the composer is, no matter how moving the score, this entire element of a game’s development can often be tuned out with little or no impact to gameplay. Not so with Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians. Here is a game where the music is as central to the experience as the character onscreen, where nodding your head to the beat can help you float through Beatbuddy’s mix of adventure and puzzle solving more easily. It is a strong and unusual concert, although the focus on following the music bears unexpected consequences for the longevity of the puzzle based gameplay.
