July 2024

I initially tried this a long while back after I'd been into Beat Saber for a good while. The game didn't click with me back then. About a year later I gave it another try and this time I really got into it. The way you move feels so much better and naturally flowing to the point that I get absolutely lost in the song, like I'm a part of it. As weird as that may sound, I truly feel that way at times. Once you get a great song with some solid mapping, the experience can be quite euphoric. Without a doubt one of my favourite VR games and I highly recommend it.

June 2024

It's like when you're in your car and it's a perfect day, you got the stereo blasting, you know that really awesome feeling? That's what playing this game is like. It's like being at an awesome roller skating rink and your favorite song is playing, you're moving thru the lights bouncing to the beat. This game is so fun, and the music is SO GOOD, I'm really glad I lived long enough to play a game like this. It's like Tron and Xanadu and the best 80's/90's club and maybe a little S.T.U.N. Runner all in one amazing virtual world that I never want to leave. *Playing with Steam Index no problems

June 2024

I was depressed last night, and decided to try out this game for a little bit. (First time playing) Five songs later, I was so exhausted (and sweaty, and happy) that I completely forgot what I was upset about in the first place. This game is awesome. It just makes me think... "Man I wish one of these rhythm games had a cool campaign/story mode."

Feb. 2024

Great basic exercise game. IMHO it is much more fun and active than Beat Saber. My only gripe is that the number of genres represented by the music DLC is a bit thin. No 90s, no 80s, (yes some of us old bastards do play this game).

Jan. 2024

Honestly, when I first started playing this game on PSVR, I thought of it only as a game derivative of Beat Saber, and while it's easy to understand that perspective, I've realized through playing more that the focus of this game is more like Just Dance in VR. The maps are made with genuine creativity, which is more than I can say of any of the DLC or free updates I've played from Beat Saber. Each map is made with choreography in mind, and while I've no actual experience with dance of any kind, it's been a lot of fun to pretend via this game. I think it's a little less technically stable than Beat Saber, I get a lot more dropped frames and stuttering than I do in Beat Saber, but there's also a lot more going on, so it makes sense. If Beat Saber didn't appeal to you because it felt too stiff, this game is the answer. It's a great game, and I definitely tell all my friends interested in VR to get it in the same breath as Beat Saber.
