Furi is a stylized bullet hell mixed with reflex combat featuring music from very VERY talented artists who make the battles come to life. By battles, I mean there are bosses; only bosses. Each one being unique from all the rest in fighting style, mechanics and characteristics.

Pros:
---------------------------
+Responsive controls: Everything is fluid and a mistake you make is all on your part. There's a slight delay to the dash but that is intentional and part of the learning curve
+Beautiful environments and character designs from the creative mind and style of Afro Samurai's creator
+Insane music: Each boss fight has their own dynamic track that will keep you jammin as you frutratingly grip your controler trying to learn the patterns of your enemies. The transitions between bosses have their own tunes too that fit the theme of their "world"
+Fast and fun gameplay: A nice introduction to bullet hells for people who don't know much about them, Furi is just down right fun, nothing much more to say.
+Difficulty: The learning curve is not too large as the first boss fight half of it is used as a tutorial your first time around. Each boss has their own fighting style and patterns to learn, but after a few attempts or deaths, every boss should be a solid fight that isn't impossible. I do NOT recommend playing on the easy difficulty as I feel the game is meant to be a challenge as seeing the length is not the highest. The fights are a fight to the death for your freedom.

Cons:
I personally enjoy just about every aspect of this game but there are some things that others might not based on preference. To me these aren't cons.
---------------------------
-Game length: I beat the game within 4-5 hours, which I felt is probably too long for a regular playthrough. The game is short and sweet with speedrun modes, but for what the game is I feel like the length is justifiable, but not all people like super short games.
-Narrative: The storytelling is vague and told mostly through the voice of a companion who accompanies you between the transition walks to each fight in the form of expostion. Other than that there is no major lore to find and read. So people looking for a deep story with many characters will be disappointed.
-Controller almost required: Some people just don't like controllers. But this game is much much easier being played with one. Only possible negative from the controller is aiming the energy pistol.
-Difficulty: Once again some people just don't like hard games or getting frustrated at a game. If so, this isn't for you.
-Price: I feel the game is fine at its current price but others might not think so based on the length. Personal preference.

Graphics: 8.5/10
Sound: 10/10
Gameplay: 9.5/10
Replayability: 8/10

Overall: 9/10 Highly recommend.

Just as good, if not better, than the first. Taking the repetitive concept of tower defense and adding fps elements makes for a hectic experience. Definately fun with friends.
