Radiant Silvergun Steam Review - IS IT WORTH IT?!?!

Radiant Silvergun Steam Review - IS IT WORTH IT?!?! The PC port of Radiant Silvergun by Livewire has arrived! They decided to stealth drop it last week, so if you haven't heard about the new release, you're not alone ha. In today's review I finish up my saga of covering the various Silvergun ports beginning with the Sega Saturn, then the Xbox 360, then the Nintendo Switch (with the Xbox One mixed in as well), and finally now on the PC (Steam).
Not to give too much of the review away in the video description ha, but this version of Silvergun is essentially the exact same game as the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch versions of the game, in terms of content and features. The the main question for the Steam port is going to come down to it's performance, which to this point has been best on either the Sega Saturn or Xbox 360.
If you haven't played Radiant Silvergun before, I HIGHLY recommend this game, as it is one of my favorite shmups (easy top 5) and one of the best shmups ever made outright. It's chaining system is truly innovative and brilliant (it's got an RPG leveling system, but good), and it's level design, graphics, music, and background work are still at the top of the genre, all these years later.
If you like Ikaruga, you should play Radiant Silvergun. If you don't like Ikaruga, you should play Radiant Silvergun. This game is such a fantastic fusion between the precise and careful routing of old school shmups but then mixed in with great bullet hell patterns and hit boxes and an AWESOME Sword. Seriously, the sword mechanic of this game is incredible. This game is Treasure at it's finest (along with Sin and Punishment). This review is for the steam version, but the game is also on Sega Saturn, Xbox 360, Xbox one, and Nintendo Switch.
