bemanistyleAaron AuzinsJan 20177.5/10Through the title's launch period on Steam, Akihabara is $5.94 (10 percent off normal price), which is well worth the overall package. The title is solid all around, and is a good match for puzzle fans looking for something new or rhythm fans looking for more timing mechanics in the puzzle-rhythm hybrid of games. Akihabara has vibrant art, chill music and scoring that takes a bit of time to master, making it easy to recommend for bursts of puzzle gameplay.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyDec 20183.5/5 starsA year ago Akihabara would have come across as something vibrant and fresh. As it stands now, it instead looks and plays like a lesser homage to its peers.
