The rhythm game 'UNBEATABLE', which had been gathering hype since its 2021 demo, finally launched on the 10th. It immediately claimed the second spot on the global Steam top sellers list, with its player reception currently sitting at 'Very Positive'.

The game takes place in a dystopian world where playing music is strictly illegal. Our pink-haired protagonist 'Beat' must keep the band alive while dodging the law and social surveillance. It’s a narrative-heavy affair where you explore the city and interact with various NPCs in a world where a melody is basically a felony. If you recall, the 2021 demo, 'UNBEATABLE [white label]', was met with 'Overwhelmingly Positive' reviews (8,494 participants, 96% positive), which really set the stage for this full release.

The gameplay blends field exploration with rhythm action. You’ll spend your time wandering through environments featuring 3D backgrounds and 2D characters, but once combat or a scripted event kicks in, it shifts into a rhythm game. It’s a deceptively simple two-button setup—just up and down—but the action is surprisingly intense, requiring you to dodge and counter enemy attacks in sync with the beat. It’s all wrapped in an aesthetic that screams 90s anime, which is a lovely touch.

Initial Steam reviews for UNBEATABLE are 'Very Positive' (302 participants, 91% positive). Players are showering the music with praise, and the anime-inspired visuals are hitting all the right notes. Many find the arcade mode particularly satisfying, noting it offers a unique, fun twist reminiscent of Muse Dash. That said, it’s not all sunshine; some players find the story mode a bit of a slog, complaining that there’s too much walking in the early stages. Plus, the narrative itself has left a few people scratching their heads, leading to a bit of a divide compared to the arcade mode.

Elsewhere, theHunter: Call of the Wild climbed the charts thanks to its new Scottish hunting DLC and a hefty discount on the base game. Jurassic World Evolution 3 also snagged 7th place with its new Wetlands Pack, while The Outlast Trials hit 9th following a new season launch and a 70% price cut.

In the top 20 Concurrent Players chart, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is holding onto its spot for the seventh day, despite the backlash surrounding the DLC. Still, numbers are sliding, down to 87,388. ARC Raiders saw a dip of about 20,000 players from the previous day, landing at 278,890, though they have a content update slated for the 16th that might shake things up.
