UNBEATABLE Review: Style and Soundtrack Soar as Story and Camera Falter

A new PC review cites superb music, with patchable issues hurting narrative flow, responsiveness, camera work.

Overview

  • The review praises an exceptional soundtrack and vivid art direction that define the game's tone.
  • The two-lane rhythm system performs well in the campaign, while Arcade Mode adds numerous tracks, remixes, and layered challenges.
  • Nontraditional rhythm segments vary in quality, with some mechanics and timing cues proving less clear.
  • Narrative flow is undercut by abrupt transitions, occasional input misreads in dialogue, and text balloons that can overlap.
  • Exploration is hampered by a fixed camera that makes brief platforming fiddly; the PC version was reviewed from a provided copy, with the game out on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
