Critical response
Critical response
Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the game a score of 80 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Jenni Lada of the PlayStation LifeStyle wrote, "The one thing AVICII Invector really nails is a sense of style. It's a futuristic and minimalistic game following a spaceship pilot who is traveling through the songs you play". Jade King of the TrustedReviews wrote, "It's heartbreaking that Avicii isn't around to experience a project that he had so much passion for come to fruition, but he'd be proud of what's been accomplished here. It harkens back to rhythm gaming greats while scorching ahead on a path of its own, and for a good cause to boot". Rebecca April May of TheGuardian.com wrote, "With so much emphasis on art and audio, there was always a risk of style over substance". Sean Munro of the Flickering Myth wrote the game's several cons including "Disappointing lack of challenge", "Hard difficulty is pointlessly gated off", and "No online multiplayer".
