I hope that I never get tired of the synthwave deluge. Inaunthentic as it may be to the 80s as they actually were, the burnt neon tones, awful fashion and the dark, aggressive synth beats are entirely my jam.
The latest to tap into this rich and lurid vein of pseudo-nostalgia is HyperParasite, a twin-stick shooter from Italian indie outfit Troglobytes Games. It's still relatively early in development, but the developers have been kind enough to share their current prototype build with the world. Only one level, but thanks to the magic of procedural generation, it might be worth a few spins.
