Is Redux - Dark Matters still worth playing in 2026?
A shoot them up developed well after the console's official end of life, Redux Dark Matters showcases the vitality of the Dreamcast homebrew scene. The game strings together nervy shooting stages with polished production, detailed sprites and an energetic soundtrack. A few design choices remain perfectible, but the ambition and craftsmanship command respect. For a shmup fan or a collector curious about the machine's late productions, the title is a singular and endearing piece.
