If you were to tell me that this music was recorded for Bill & Ted?s Excellent Adventure (itself, now more than 30-years-old!), I would 100% believe it.Īnd yet, combine these different elements, and you have a game that?s a remarkable achievement.

While it sounds great, it?s also a sound that could?ve been created at any time in the last 55 years or so. It?s all about a kid who dreams of breaking free from his folkie heritage (more on that in a moment) and unleashing his inner Hendrix. There are occasionally sequences where you need to press a few more buttons, but they?re more like a game of memory than what you?d associate with most music games.įor that matter, as a game about music, The Artful Escape doesn?t do anything groundbreaking. For the most part, you just run across the landscape, holding down the Y button, while your character coaxes all kinds of crazy sounds out of his guitar. Likewise, as a music game, it?s nothing noteworthy. You occasionally bounce or slide, which is neat, but if you judged The Artful Escape by any kind of platformer standards, it wouldn?t be very impressive. Take, for example, the fact that it?s kind of a platformer ? except you really only ever move forward, and the jumps aren?t very difficult. If you were to look at any of its component pieces individually, they wouldn?t seem like much, but somehow, when you add them all together, the end result is magic. The Artful Escape is a perfect example of a whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Introducing the 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, SIGMA’s ideal “standard” lens.Also on: PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X The result is the new “Art F1.4 50mm,” a lens that is truly all-around capable in terms of expressive performance, maneuverability, and usability, and is designed to help photographers create their best work. In addition to the brightness of the large F1.4 aperture and the large, beautiful bokeh effect, various aberrations have been optimally balanced in pursuit of uniform and balanced image quality throughout the entire image range, from the center to the edges of the frame. By incorporating all the latest technologies, this lens has achieved a high degree of compatibility between the optimum size and high-speed AF required for today’s mirrorless systems, while maintaining the highest-class optical performance. While retaining the concept of the original SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art that defined the reputation of the Art F1.4 series, SIGMA has reexamined from the very beginning what is truly important in a standard lens used in a wide range of shooting situations. The newest addition to the F1.4 series, which has become synonymous with the Art line, is the SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, a large-aperture standard lens designed exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and tremendous expressive power, SIGMA’s Art line delivers high-level artistic quality.
