Gameplay

Avicii Invector allows the player to journey across six different worlds. The player has to race through the music track and is tasked with matching the "musical beat". The game features 25 of Avicii's songs. Encore Edition featured 35 of Avicii's songs, added 10 songs (including "Peace of Mind", "Freak" and the chart topping "SOS") and a new world.

Reception

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".

Legacy

Hello There Games, the game's developer, developed mobile game Beat Legend: Avicii for Atari, Inc. in 2020. It similarly features 15 tracks of Avicii.
