The WhatsNext verdict
If you enjoy minimalist, difficult rhythm-tinged arcade games, Duet delivers a focused test of timing and control with a strong electronic soundtrack. Skip it if repeated failures and sparse presentation wear you down.

Punishing precision that makes every success feel earned
A pure skill curve you can feel tightening in your hands
Electronic music that turns failure into a strange kind of dance
What might put you off
Unforgiving difficulty
Minimalism can feel austere
The setup
What you are walking into
Your survival is dependent on protecting two vessels - they are devices in sync, a dance and song between two entities tethered together in symbiosis. Feel edge of your seat terror where the world around you becomes quiet and numb as all that matters is the game -- that is Duet.
