BY IAN HUCKABEE: Furi is an enigma of a game. The game at its core consists of large, heavily intense boss battles with long walks in between for exposition of the world. This simple concept is what helps to make the game so great.

Furi will definitely surprise you though, as what seems to be a hack and slash mixed perfectly with a bullet hell soon becomes a gripping mystery. It has a wonderful story wrapped up in some of the most beautiful minimalistic visuals Ive ever seen in a game.

You start as an immortal prisoner in a very impressive jail, being killed over and over again by your captor before a strange man releases you from your bonds with one simple phrase he drills into your head: The jailor is the key, kill him and you will be free. What follows is a brutal trek through nine guardians, each one more difficult than the last, and each one with their own set of tricks.
