"Like Geometry Wars? You will love this!".So there I was, just casually browsing Metacritic today to see what the latest rankings are for the "Best Games This Year", and it turns out there's a new champion - a little game called Sektori that I'd never heard of before.Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Sektori is already available for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and it was actually released back at the end of the last year.
