Some of these caches are seriously well-hidden though, so be prepared to explore a lot if you want to find them all. Finding these caches peels back another small layer of the mystery and also gets Rei a piece of new armor. There are collectible recordings scattered around the Ultravoid left by other Voidrunners, many of whom were Rei's friends. I also loved watching the story unfold, but you'll really have to search to uncover the greater mysteries lying at the depths of Solar Ash. The music that plays along with bosses is especially memorable and helps pack a lot of impact behind the grandiose scale you're meant to feel while taking down these behemoths. This dreamy quality is backed up by a frankly excellent soundtrack a stellar blend of dissonant synths and the occassional orchestral accompaniment. It's not hard to blissfully waste your time just skating around and taking in the visual feast that Solar Ash has to offer. The character and creature designs solidly land the game in sci-fi territory, but the dream-like landscapes lend a fantastical, surreal element to the atmosphere.

Bold, lower-poly graphics with saturated neon colors bring the world of the Ultravoid to life in a big way. Beyond the mechanics, an obvious draw of the game is its painfully cool aesthetic.
