A game I have over 500 hours in. Do I recommend it? No. No, I don't, not unless you have 500 hours to dedicate to addiction and Danny Baranowsky's epic hits. (Get it. Do it man, get the game. Give yourself over to the pretty colours and dancing.)

8 fucking years of the music school. Countless hours spent playing piano, organs and guitar. Yet somehow i still always trip on the king conga fight rythm...... but music is dope as hell so its a good game

8/10 I love this game to bits. Don't get me wrong, it's a very difficult game. It's definitely not for everyone. But it's very satisfying when you finally manage to beat the game with that one character who's been giving you trouble for the past week (or month, or more!) The difficulty curve is a downside for me, though. There are 3 main story characters. The first is difficult, but mostly because you're still learning how the game works. The second is generally a little easier. The third is absolutely absurd, and she's where I'm stuck right now. She has half of a heart. She takes damage if you miss a beat. She can only ever use the most basic weapon in the game. This is a character that dies to a single mistake, and when mistakes include hesitating for more than a moment, it makes for a very solid brick wall that most players run into. I very much recommend trying out the base game before buying any of the DLCs. If you don't like the style of the game then the DLCs won't change that. But for me, the DLCs increased my enjoyment of a game that I already liked quite a bit. All that to say, I really do think people should try this game out. But don't go into it with a completionist mindset. And maybe wait for a sale! They usually come around about once a month.

Good. Runs well in Linux. Steam's built in soundtrack music player is garbage, but it's easy to find the music files in your filesystem and use your own media player. As a fan of video game music, I'd say this is some of the best. I've been a fan of Virt since long before I heard of this game. I bought all the DLC for this game, except Synchrony, which connects to mod.io to install mods. Stay away from games that use mod.io . It is a dangerous, untrustworthy site.

I've never felt as strongly about wanting to play a game for 8 hours straight while also wanting to rip all the hair out of my head with my bare hands as I have with this game. This game is pure evil and I love it.
