Amplitude (PS4)

•  My first experience with a rhythm game was on the PS2 with the game Frequency by Harmonix. 
• You flew a ship around lanes made up of different instruments of a music track and you had to hit buttons along with the beat for about 2 measures then that part of the track would keep playing and you moved to another lane for a different instrument so you were playing the song but also picking which parts to hear.
•  It was an amazing game.
• The sequel Amplitude came out and it was even better.
• These titles led to the first Guitar Hero game and the rest is history.
• They put this new game on kickstarted about 2 years ago and it has finally been released. 
• It feels the same which is a good thing. It's still tough as ever but it's beautiful and the audio is booming. 
• My big gripe though is with the soundtrack.  There is a campaign composed of 15 songs and I'm not a fan of quite of few of them.  You do have to play those in order to unlock more songs which is a pain.  Of course music is opinionated so you may love it.
• One of the first songs I unlocked was the song to the first level of Crypt of the Necrodancer and it was awesome.  Playing that song made the game worth it.
• The price is only $20 so not a huge investment.  
• I think there is a total of 45 songs so I have a ton to open up so I believe the music will get better.

Batman Arkham Knight

• Finished the main story this weekend and it was really enjoyable and I thought the writing was amazing and the main characters were voiced perfectly.
• My only gripe is that to see the true ending you need to finish all the 250 Riddler challenges so I've been debating just watching it on youtube.  I do find the challenges fun though so I may hold off.
• I put around 40 hours into the game and still have most of the DLC to finish up.  They are short which is a bit disappointing but I have gotten my money's worth.
