I've been playing since early 2024, and THAT game hooked me - the smooth, neon-geometric style, the grind, the fun.

There are a ton of different ships and weapons, a lot of added features to help with player agency as you upgrade and many ways to customize your difficulty.

Lots of different enemies and fun bosses, the glowy over the top graphics we know and love, plenty perks and ships/guns to keep you entertained for a long time, at least in the early game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

I completed all unlocks and difficulty levels; I had a blast each run.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 216 sampled reviews raised it
If you don't mind having builds hampered with a slight restriction in playstyle, it has a satisfying gameplay loop with a decent soundtrack, feels great, and it has decent progressions.
