This game isn’t fun, and that’s okay. Not every game needs to make you feel powerful. This game is meant to make you feel the frustration and despair that the character “Sisyphus” would feel. It does that pretty well, at the beginning at least. You don’t know what to do, do you follow the tutorial. You quickly learn how to beat the game system after ten minutes filled with despair. You learn that any failure is your fault alone, which I feel takes away from the intended feeling of the game. My opinion is that personal failures are less frustrating than those by pure chance, and much less than those by the choices of others. I think that it would be much more frustrating if there was RNG in the game, a VERY small chance of randomly failing through no fault of your own.

Counter to a lot of reviews, I found this game fun initially. The fun game from having a goal. First, learn the rhythm. Then crest the mountain. Then make it back. Then build a streak. However at that point you basically have no reason to continue. Sure you could build your multiplier to infinity and top the leaderboards, but I’ve found that I’ve no desire to return to this game that I consider good. Maybe that’s the point and that’s fine. My gamer brain just craves more goals to climb towards. The irony is that it would be more fun if it wasn’t possible to get to the top

Note: The title is a combination of the word Amazing and Fantastic. Yeah, this game gives you exactly what it says in the description. I know right? Most games don’t do that. Anyways, I would recommend this game if you’re in a car ride or if you have no internet but I just downloaded this game because I have seen countless amounts of Sisyphus memes this year and because I thought it would probably be fun to see a man forced for all eternity to roll a boulder up a hill only for it to fall down and see all his efforts broken for the 100th time. But in the myths Sisyphus has no obligation to roll the boulder up the hill, he just does so because he actually thinks he can do it. Anyways, download this game.
