Review: Yars - Recharged (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, Switch & Steam) - Defunct Games

Defunct Games reviews Yars: Recharged, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch, PC, Linux, Mac and more. Fourty years after first hitting the Atari 2600, the vengeful inspect is back in Yars: Recharged, an action-packed update to the console classic. Now a dual-stick shooter, this nostalgia-fueled action game updates the series with improved graphics, multiplayer modes, tons of missions to take on and a lot more. Sure, it suffers from some serious difficulty spikes, as well as a lot of the problems that have plagued past Recharged games (including samey backgrounds and a serious lack of options), but the shoot ‘em up thrills are exciting and, much like the original, Yars: Recharged doesn’t feel like any other game on the market. This is one of Atari’s best Recharged games yet. NOTE: Defunct Games received a digital code from the developer/publisher of this game for review purposes.
