Rift of the Necrodancer! I got a free key from @braceyourselfgames.com and have been playing it regularly since. It has an incredible OST, and mind-bending note patterns, I'm never going to complete everything. Shoutouts to them for continuing to add free content alongside their paid DLC.

Since #PhantomBrigade 2.0 released I have been playing it again and it's a blast! All the gripes I had with the original version are gone and it finally is the game I wanted it to be when it launched. Good job @braceyourselfgames.com for supporting it so long after release!
