Avoiding discs and dying a lot never felt so good with Disc Room. With plenty of different abilities and unique obstacles and zones, Disc Room is a tight package that is sure to satisfy.

Disc Room is an astronaut's reflex-testing venture through a fascinating and mysterious labyrinth of a alien vessel.

Disc Room is incredibly difficult. It definitely won’t be for everyone. If you lack patience and find yourself getting frustrated in games where you die frequently, it’s probably not for you. But for those of us that enjoy being furious, who let that fury push us further and faster because we crave a challenge, Disc Room is fantastic. You’ll find yourself going back again and again, getting a little bit further each time until you reach its conclusion. And you won’t be sorry when you do.

Not unlike the discs we spent so long combating, Disc Room is far more clever than it appears to be at a glance. Like Minit before it, Disc Room is another minimalist concept rooted in classic design and inspiration, except there’s so much more beneath the surface. Just as the ship called out to our scientist like a siren’s song, Disc Room’s cool, addictive appeal does the exact same to me.

Devolver’s 2020 has been quite good so far, much better than most publishers out there. However, I can’t help but feel that a good chunk of their releases were either simple ports of a slightly older games. Or even some other titles which, sadly, just didn’t live up to the hype, like Serious Sam 4. Sure, we’ve had phenomenal titles like Fall Guys and Carrion, but I was wondering if there was something else they would release later on in 2020 to close the year, and also the gaming gene...

Devolver Digital has a cadre of skilled programmers that come up with a plethora of unique titles but perhaps none in their rogues gallery are as aligned to my own interests as the collaborative efforts of Terri Vellmann, Doseone, Kitty Calis and Jan Willem Njiman. When not working on other fantastic projects like Minit and Sludge Life (okay, that one's just weird), the team banded together to create a game about rooms filled with discs. The aptly named Disc Room takes the concept of one single room filled with discs and manages to create an entire space ship filled with body-carving cutlery.

Disc Room is a solid addition to the bullet hell genre. Alongside fluid gameplay mechanics, the choice to include puzzles makes the reaction-based thought process required to succeed in the game that much more chaotic and fun.

One of many great things about the indie game space is that it caters to all kinds of interests. Consider the bullet hell genre. Whilst there are some AAA that dabble in its waters, for the more pure, and more interesting takes, you have to go indie. Maybe these games will never get blockbuster appeal, but they can take pride in a simple premise executed well. So while Disc Room is unlikely to take home massive game of the year awards, it knows what it wants to do and does a damn fine job of ...

Disc Room wants to cut you in so many ways. It wants to chew you up, dismantle you, and make you say a swear or 50 creatively woven into the same sentence. It’s bullet hell without the regular therapy of being able to return fire. But for all of those aspects, it's also horribly addicting. The ease of picking up where you left off and trying your darndest to survive just a little bit longer to unlock a room left me putting down my controller, rubbing my head, and then often picking it up to say, “this will be the time I get it. This time.” It’s not a ridiculously long or complex romp. But it a...

It's like a bullet hell game, but you can't shoot back.

Being a game that will no doubt test your reflexes and tenacity, Disc Room will make the number of deaths you have in a Dark Souls game look miniscule in comparison.

Unscored

Disc Room might not be a contender for game of the year but it is still enjoyable. The game’s retail price seems a bit high ($14.99) for a short game. Our playthrough of Disc Room‘s normal mode only took two hours without lowering the game’s difficulty. Hard does take a bit longer to complete but only you can justify the purchasing price. The game does have good replay value where you can decide how they want to play each room and change the difficulty. The game is enjoyable but not a must-have unless you like these types of games.
