The Artful Escape doesn't want to teach you music and doesn't really want you to play music. And that's the trick, the key to the whole thing, I suspect. The whole game is a solo that's got out of hand. The soundtrack here is a sort of grand, proggy bed of pleasant noise for the solo noodling you do over the top of everything. This is the thing, though: it doesn't matter. Availability: Out now on PC, Xbox (Game Pass), iOS.I couldn't recall a favourite burst of guitar.
I couldn't hum a leitmotif or whatever they're called. It's certainly lovely to listen to while you're playing, and the big moments rise to their epiphanies and then die away with great poise, but once the game was switched off nothing really lingered in my mind. The trick to understanding what the The Artful Escape is trying to do, I reckon, is to embrace the fact that this music game doesn't actually have any particularly memorable music in it. We've gone back to a few real gems, so for more catch-up reviews like this one head to the Games That Got Away hub, where all our pieces from the series will be rounded up in one convenient place. A lurid and generous trip through the iconography of seventies rock.Įditor's note: Hello! Over the next few days we're running a "Games That Got Away" series, where we finally get round to reviewing games that released at some point in 2021 but, for various reasons, we couldn't quite manage to cover at the time.
