No game I've played since 'Splosion Man has infuriated me like Dustforce. But along with that wave of rage I feel when I fail comes the eventual elation of finally getting a perfect rating on a level. I hold my head a bit higher, feeling like my gaming prowess won the day and proved to the world that I am a bit more awesome than those below me on the leaderboards...
